Comedian Lee Jung-soo shared an update regarding his second daughter undergoing surgery.

On the 21st, Lee Jung-soo posted on his Instagram, "At 7:30 a.m. today, we had surgery to remove a pilonidal cyst located in Roy's buttocks," while sharing several photos. The released images showed his second daughter, Roy, lying in a hospital bed, with Lee Jung-soo by her side.

Lee Jung-soo conveyed his feelings ahead of his daughter's surgery, stating, "I have never once prayed during the early morning hours, but this morning I tried praying as earnestly as I ever have in my life. I came to understand why speaking in tongues happens."

He added, "Because I arrived at the operating room earlier than 7:30 a.m., waiting for the rest of the family was incredibly heartbreaking. Yet even while everyone was giving Roy kisses, my older daughter insisted she couldn't do it and held out. Come to think of it, I myself cannot bring myself to kiss my brother on the cheek."

Lee Jung-soo also shared images of his daughter after the surgery. Lee Jung-soo wrote, "Thanks to everyone, the surgery went very well. The first thing Roy said as she was waking up from anesthesia was, 'Do I not have a tail anymore now?' We used to call that small lump a tail. Although it will be difficult for her to move around for a while, we hope it does not recur. Once again, I express my gratitude to Roy for overcoming the surgery well."

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-soo debuted as a comedian in 2002 through KBS's 17th open recruitment. He subsequently gained recognition by appearing in popular segments of the KBS 2TV comedy program "Gag Concert," such as "Ugeuk Dajim" (Brute Force) and "Bongsungahakdang" (Henna School). In 2013, he married his wife, who is four years younger than him. They welcomed their first daughter, Lee Ri-ye, in 2014, and their second daughter, Lee Ro-i, in 2020.
