Cheers are continuing on the news of Choi Bul-am's health problems.
Actor Baek Il-seop appeared on the MBN entertainment program "Altoran," which aired on the 8th. On this day, Baek Il-seop expressed his upset, referring to actor Lee Soon-jae, who passed away last year, saying, "The seniors are leaving one by one." Baek Il-seop then mentioned Choi Bul-am and said, "Bul-am hasn't contacted me either. He doesn't even answer the phone even though he calls. I can't ask and I'm worried. I hope Bulam will grumble and wake up soon," he said, expressing concern for his health.
Choi Bul-am was born in 1940 and Baek Il-seop was born in 1944.

News of Choi Bul-am's health abnormalities has been reported since last year. Actor Lim Hyun-sik appeared on MBN's "Special Report World," which aired last month, referring to Choi Bul-am's health. Lim Hyun-sik met actor Park Eun-soo, who played Il-il in "The Country Diary." The two talked about their health and said, "Shouldn't you be healthy even if you live alone?" The two then misunderstood the conversation ㅌ and said, "All the teachers who are not here are about to die, and they are not feeling well," and also said, "Choi Bul-am is not in good health."
Earlier in October 2024, the late actor Kim Soo-mi suddenly passed away from a high blood sugar shock. In addition, as the late Lee Soon-jae passed away in November last year, the entertainment industry was saddened by the grief of a series of senior actors. Earlier this year, actor Ahn Sung-ki died and expressed his sadness. As a result, more attention is paid to the health and recent status of senior actors.

Meanwhile, Choi Bul-am left KBS 1TV's 'Korean Table' last year, which had been in charge of hosting for 14 years since 2011. In this regard, producer Lim Ki-soon said, "The teacher said he now wants to pass it on to a junior. I couldn't even imagine the teacher stepping down. He said, "I thought it was greed to ask for a favor anymore because he was so willing, so I decided after thinking about it." Since then, the public has been worried about the health of Choi Bul-Am, who is old, and hopes for recovery from the news of Choi Bul-Am's health abnormalities revealed through Baek Il-seop.
