Heo Cheok (47, real name Jeon Deok-ho), vocalist of the band Super Kid, has risen again after battling stage 3 colon cancer.

According to a StarNews investigation on the 8th, Heo Cheok's band, Deokho C Band, is scheduled to release an EP album in October. This marks the first time Heo Cheok is releasing an album under the name Deokho C Band. The album is expected to feature approximately three tracks.

At the end of last year, Heo Cheok was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and has been undergoing treatment since then. As a result, the originally scheduled release date for his new album was postponed.

At that time, Heo Cheok announced via social media: "I had been working on this song with the goal of releasing it around December 20th, but an unexpected personal incident occurred in early November, halting all work and indefinitely postponing the release of this song."

He continued, "Fortunately, the surgery went well, and my body is recovering faster than expected, giving me some space to start reviewing the project files again. Of course, the release schedule will be adjusted depending on the final pathology report results and how future treatment progresses, but I plan to complete the finishing touches intermittently with the goal of releasing it in February next year."

Even while undergoing chemotherapy after surgery, Heo Cheok took the stage to demonstrate his passion for music. Having continued to hold onto music despite battling illness and receiving treatment, he is reported to have recently completed all chemotherapy sessions.

On the 3rd last month, he released a new single titled 'Ara Waterway' under the name Deokho C, derived from his real name. On the 29th of the same month, he appeared on stage at the '2026 Music Flow Festival' as Deokho C Band, meeting with music fans.

Having returned to the stage after his illness, Heo Cheok is expected to further accelerate his activities by presenting Super Kid's first EP in October. Interest is growing over what kind of music he will share through this EP, having balanced treatment and music production since his colon cancer diagnosis.

Meanwhile, Heo Cheok first gained recognition as part of the group 'Honey Chexs', which won the gold prize at the 2004 MBC University Song Festival. In 2005, the team changed its name to Super Kid and continued activities. Super Kid released their debut album 'Super Kidd' the following year and subsequently gained public recognition through appearances on MBC's rookie development variety show 'Showbival' and KBS 2TV's survival program 'Top Band'.

Heo Cheok also showcased his presence once again by appearing as contestant No. 73 in the JTBC competition program 'Sing Again 4', which concluded last January.
