Actor Ahn Sung-ki was taken to the hospital with cardiac arrest and has been battling the disease for three days, and today (1st) marked his 74th birthday.
New Year's Day, Jan. 1, marks Ahn's 74th birthday, who was born in 1952 in Daegu, North Gyeongsang Province.
Ahn Sung-ki's critical news was reported on December 31 last year. Ahn Sung-ki's agency, Artist Company, told Star News, "It is correct that Ahn Sung-ki was transferred to the hospital's emergency room on the 30th due to sudden health deterioration."
He continued, "We are currently receiving treatment under the measures of medical staff. The exact condition and future progress are being confirmed based on the judgment of the medical staff. I hope it gets better and I'm watching the progress carefully," he said.
Since then, the agency said, "Please refrain from speculative reports so that we can focus on treatment."
Earlier, while eating at home around 4 p.m. on the 30th, Ahn Sung-ki collapsed as the food passed over to the airway. Afterwards, he was taken to the emergency room of a hospital near his home undergoing CPR due to cardiac arrest. As a result, his eldest son, who was living in the United States, is urgently returning home, and his wife and second son are reportedly guarding Ahn Sung-ki's side.
Ahn Sung-ki has been battling blood cancer. He was diagnosed with blood cancer in 2019 and was diagnosed with complete recovery the following year, but recurred in six months. His fight against blood cancer was belatedly known in 2022.
