In "Kim Joo-ha's Day & Night", "national singer" Yoo Yeol (65) tells the story of fighting pulmonary fibrosis, which was even pronounced dead.
MBN's 'Kim Joo-ha's Day & Night' released a preview video for the 9th episode titled 'Singer Yoo Yeol who returned to the stage from the threshold of death' on the afternoon of the 21st.
MC Kim Joo-ha in the video mentioned the hiatus caused by his battle with pulmonary fibrosis, saying, "Yu Yeol is a national singer, but he hasn't shown his face for seven years."
Yoo Yeol belatedly confessed in 2023 that he was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2019, drawing public concern. At that time, he lost as much as 40kg, and rumors of death were once circulating.
Yoo Yeol said, "In 2019, my fever rose to 40 degrees due to pneumonia, and I was hospitalized. It was collapsing at that time, and I felt like I was out of my mind. I couldn't even get off the bed. I had to accept all the urine," he said, trying hard to hold back tears and telling the story at the time.
He then said, "I got delirium again, so I had hallucinations or something. He said that a friend came outside the window of the hospital and said, "Open it up," adding, "The hospital pronounced him dead." He told his wife, "Now prepare your mind," and opened up his battle with the disease.
Yoo Yeol's episode of "Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night" will be available at 9:40 p.m. on the 24th.
