Actor Kang Shin-il revealed the story behind returning to the filming set just two weeks after undergoing liver cancer surgery.

In an episode of the SBS variety show 'Same Bed Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny' (hereinafter referred to as 'Same Bed Different Dreams 2') broadcast on the 20th, Kang Shin-il recalled his past battle with liver cancer.

On this day, Kang Shin-il’s wife explained the situation at the time her husband was diagnosed with liver cancer. During a medical examination, Kang Shin-il was advised to undergo an additional CT scan due to poor blood test results, but he had tried to postpone the test because of his performance schedule.

At the time, Kang Shin-il had been going through a busy period with increased activities following the film 'Public Enemy'. He was in a situation where it was difficult to take care of his health as he handled his schedule alone without an agency or manager.

Kang Shin-il returned to filming for the drama 'Golden Bride' just two weeks after his liver cancer surgery. His determination to continue working was strong enough that he participated in filming while wearing a support belt even after being discharged from the hospital.

Regarding why he had pushed himself to continue activities, Kang Shin-il confessed, “I think the biggest factor was a sense of responsibility. The burden of accumulated debts and living with negative finances since getting married was heavy.”

He continued, “There was also a desire to resolve that quickly, and an eagerness to settle it,” adding, “With that mindset, I feel like I worked frantically for five to six years.”
