Singer Lee Chan-won expresses anger over the mystery surrounding the death of the late Shin Hae-chul.
The May 5 broadcast at 8:30 p.m. on KBS 2TV's "The Secret of Celebrity Disease Death" will shed light on the life trajectory of Shin Hae-chul, our eternal king of rock who offered genuine comfort to anxious youth. The program plans to deeply explore the human Shin Hae-chul hidden behind sharp, biting criticism, as well as the mystery of his tragic death.
In 2014, Shin Hae-chul was preparing to soar again after breaking a six-year-long hiatus. In October of that year, while he was fully occupied preparing Next's new album, he suddenly complained of severe abdominal pain and visited a hospital. After being diagnosed with intestinal obstruction, he underwent surgery for intestinal stricture.
The prelude to the tragedy began inside the operating room. The surgeon who performed the operation later left a peculiar remark: "I had to stitch your stomach a bit, so you won't be able to eat much anymore." This was an arbitrary performance of "gastric reduction surgery," folding and suturing the stomach without the patient's consent.
An autopsy revealed "sesame seeds" inside the pericardium, the sac surrounding the heart. The studio was engulfed in shock as Hyo Jung and Jang Do-yeon exclaimed, "Sesame seeds to eat?" and "Why were sesame seeds found there?" as if doubting their ears. Specialist Lee Nak-jun explained the shocking autopsy results, stating, "Under normal circumstances, sesame seeds cannot be found in the pericardium." As the incomprehensible situation continued, Lee Chan-won expressed his anger, asking, "Did they treat the patient as an experimental subject?" The program will examine in detail whether this surgery, performed without consent, truly altered the fate of the "king of rock," Shin Hae-chul.
Hidden anecdotes of the late Shin Hae-chul and the mystery surrounding his sudden death will be revealed in the May 5 broadcast at 8:30 p.m. on KBS 2TV's "The Secret of Celebrity Disease Death."
