Comedian Lee Hong-ryul (72) openly shared how his physical condition has changed since entering his 70s.

On the 22nd, a video titled "What Changes When You Turn 70? │ Things That Change as You Age, According to Lee Hong-ryul" was released on the YouTube channel 'Lee Sung-mi's I Am a Condescending Old Person,' featuring appearances by Lee Hong-ryul and Park Mi-seon, who exchanged various stories.

That day, Lee Hong-ryul said, "When you turn exactly 70, you feel like one more illness is added to the ones you already have."

He continued, "I have fatty liver and prostate enlargement. Gout has also come, and illnesses are arriving one by one." He explained that even when moving as he used to, he would get out of breath and visit the hospital, but no special abnormalities were found. He added that he has learned to accept the physical changes that come with aging.

He further remarked, "You shouldn't move with a youthful mindset. As you age, you need to move a bit more slowly."

Lee Hong-ryul also recalled words he once heard from singer Cho Young-nam. "I appeared on the show 'Dongchimi,' and there was a VCR celebrating Cho Young-nam's 80th birthday," he reminisced. "After filming ended, when Cho Young-nam stood up, he said something to me that I can never forget." At the time, Cho Young-nam had told Lee Hong-ryul, "Hong-ryul, do you know how hard it is to reach 80?"

Lee Hong-ryul shared, "If I hadn't turned 70 yet, I wouldn't have understood those words. Now I truly feel what he meant."
