Singer Ahn Chi-hwan opens up about his experience battling stage 3 rectal cancer ten years ago and how his lifestyle has changed since then.

In episode 47 of MBN's "Kim Joo-ha's Day & Night," airing on the 17th, Ahn Chi-hwan, known as a "singer who sings for the times" and celebrating his 40th anniversary in the music industry, appears to share various stories about his life and music.

First, Ahn reveals that he was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer at the very moment he realized he needed to take better care of his health, shocking everyone. He calmly recalls a difficult period during which he lost more than 15 kg in weight due to rigorous treatment.

In particular, Ahn explains that while he had previously been somewhat strict and sharp, his perspective on life changed completely after battling cancer. "I thought I needed to be more tolerant.

Ahn, who stated, "I am in the best physical condition of my entire life," adds, "Living a healthy life is a courtesy to those who have supported me," leaving a deep impression.

Ahn also reveals that after receiving great love for popular songs such as "If I Were" and "People Are More Beautiful Than Flowers," he was once called a "defector."

In response, Ahn asks, "'If I Were' and 'People Are More Beautiful Than Flowers' are very beautiful and good songs. What is wrong with singing such songs?" sparking empathy. He then explains, "The world changes, so the content of songs cannot remain the same," clarifying that he did not abandon his previous musical territory but rather expanded his musical horizons. Additionally, Ahn states, "The times have changed. I must always ponder what kind of songs to make in a changing world," revealing his unwavering conviction about music that he has firmly upheld for 40 years, adding to the emotional impact.
