Writer Ko Myung-hwan revealed his changed life after overcoming the death crisis.
KBS 1TV's Morning Madang's "Flowering Life Class," which aired on the 19th, featured comedian-turned-writer Ko Myung-hwan to tell various stories.
Ko Myung-hwan said, "The drama 'Haeshin' was 50 episodes, and while filming Wando after shooting 20 episodes, the manager briefly drove drowsy, causing an accident with a large truck. I woke up at the hospital and the doctor told me to hurry up and start with my will. He said he could die in a second."
He then said, "I had a blood clot on my heart, and I was sentenced to a time limit that the so-called heart burst and was about to die," adding, "I first thought it was unfair. At that time, it was unfair to come to the verge of death after being dragged around for 34 years. He said, "I will never live being dragged around by the words of the world again."
He said, "I was in the intensive care unit for two weeks, and miraculously the blood mass in my heart became small. I started to hear that I'm not dying anymore, he said. "Since then, I've asked people who don't come to visit to buy me some books. It's 2005 so it's not the time to watch videos. I just asked him to buy me a famous book, so I read all the humanities classics such as "Demian." He learned how to fight after winning through the 'Grandchildren' method. I failed the restaurant business four times, but after reading the book, I realized that it was direction rather than speed, and I started my fifth buckwheat noodles and finally succeeded," he said.
Ko Myung-hwan surprised by saying that his fourth book was exported to five countries within a year of its release, and that he shared the writer of the year award with Han Kang for his fifth book in 2024.
