Actor Park Young-kyu of 'Salim Nam 2' undertook a health examination after making a significant decision.
On the 19th, the KBS2TV entertainment program 'Salim Nam 2' showcased the health examination journey of actor Park Young-kyu. On that day, a special guest appeared on Park Young-kyu's episode: Choi Ye-na, who is beloved as a solo singer with a fresh image. Baek Ji-young asked about Choi Ye-na and Park Seo-jin, saying, "It seems that you have a similar family background."
Choi Ye-na noted, "I also have an older brother, the actor Choi Sung-min, who is four years older than me. I'm the same age as Hyo-jung." She added, "I sometimes get annoyed and argue. While I'm at work, my brother is sleeping on my bed."
Park Seo-jin complained, "My bed has sagged because Park Hyo-jung keeps trying to sleep in it too." However, as they became virtual siblings, the two behaved like incredibly caring siblings, proving that they weren't just 'real siblings' without being aloof.
On that day, Choi Ye-na's appearance was like a support for Park Young-kyu. Choi Ye-na said, "He was really cool in the drama 'Villains Everywhere.' I think he's a really great actor," revealing that they appeared together as a grandfather-granddaughter pair.
At the beginning of the VCR, the atmosphere was tense. Park Young-kyu's wife was upset by comments suggesting that she and Park Young-kyu did not appear to have a 25-year age difference.
His wife asked, "They say I look like I'm in my 60s. Do I look like that to you as well?" Park Young-kyu replied cynically, "Do they really say that? That's nonsense. That's just what they said." His wife exclaimed, "They also said I resemble Chae Shi-ra, and the caption made me embarrassed. Did I ever say I looked like Chae Shi-ra?" That statement was made by Baek Ji-young, who remarked, "I said that. And you really do resemble her."
Park Young-kyu argued, "Isn't it true that Eun Ji-won looks much younger than his peers? Just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean everyone looks young. It's not that I'm young because I'm an actor; there's a fundamental quality that makes me look younger." He was trying to convince his 25-year-younger wife, but it backfired. He then added, "You are mature and charming. I will take care of your skin treatments and cosmetic needs. Go ahead and do it. Start with those smile lines, too."
As the night wore on, the two found themselves in a serious atmosphere. It was the night before Park Young-kyu decided to undergo a health examination at the persistent urging of the production team. Park Young-kyu, who was feeling distressed, mentioned, "There's a safe over there. Aren't you curious what's inside?" He added, "The numbers and various documents are all inside there," informing his wife. The safe was one that only Park Young-kyu could open.
Sure enough, Park Young-kyu faced a life-or-death situation. The doctor said, "It was a good decision to get a colonoscopy. There was a polyp about 6 mm. Based on the examination findings, it appears to be at the pre-cancerous stage. If it had been left for 2 to 3 more years, things would have taken a turn for the worse. It's very close to cancer." This revelation stunned Park Young-kyu.
