In the show 'Newly Released Restaurant,' actor Nam Yoon-soo revealed the deep scar left after a kidney transplant surgery for his father.
On the broadcast of KBS2TV's 'Newly Released Restaurant' on the 2nd, Nam Yoon-soo showed his surgical scar.
Nam Yoon-soo's story, shared in a recent broadcast, was a life decision that went beyond simple filial piety. Six months ago, he donated his kidney to his father, who was suffering from end-stage renal failure. At that time, his father was in a stage 5 end-stage renal failure condition, with a survival rate of just 25%.
Nam Yoon-soo said, 'My dad's skin had darkened a lot, and he began showing symptoms of low blood sugar. I judged that it would be difficult to hold on with just dialysis,' and mentioned the moment he decided to directly offer to undergo the transplant by saying, 'So I went to my dad and told him, 'I will donate my kidney.'
He also recounted the situation where his father suddenly went missing the day before the surgery due to memory-related symptoms. Nam Yoon-soo said, 'Suddenly, I couldn't get in touch, and he didn't even know where he was going. It was very scary,' and added, 'After that incident, I thought that I could no longer delay the surgery, so I quickly made the decision.'
In particular, he left a lasting impression by showing his surgical scar across his abdomen and an X-ray image that revealed one kidney missing. His words, 'The scar is deep, but I have never regretted it,' moved the hearts of those who watched.
Meanwhile, Nam Yoon-soo has recently gained attention as a rising actor through various works, with many supporting him as the fact that there was sincere family love and sacrifice behind his success has become known.
