Singer Yoo Yeol, who was effectively given a 'death sentence' due to pulmonary fibrosis, miraculously regained his health and took the stage after undergoing a lung transplant.
Singer Namgoong Okbun recently conveyed Yoo Yeol's recent situation through his social media. He said that Yoo Yeol has returned to his old voice, which was difficult to hear during phone conversations just two years ago.
Namgoong Okbun noted, "I received a call today while visiting Seoul National University Hospital. Hearing his voice was a surprise~~ After a long battle where it was difficult for Yoo Yeol to speak at all during phone calls, it was a miracle that he has now returned to his previous voice, and he has also gained weight from 40 to 56 kg. God, whom he has believed in and relied upon, has not abandoned him. Of course, meeting good doctors also contributed to this~ Thankful, thankful."
Anyway, Yoo Yeol has come back to life after the lung transplant. Watching a recent video where he was invited back to the church he visited two years ago to sing, it now seems he is almost back to normal~ no, it is a perfect miracle. After going through trials that made it difficult for a singer even to speak, he is now back on stage praising God.. I share with joy the current situation of Yoo Yeol, who has returned to being a normal person (?).
Along with this, the address of an article by Dong-A Ilbo titled 'Singer Yoo Yeol, who was effectively given a 'death sentence,' found 'life' after the lung transplant [People who overcome illness]' was attached. According to the article, Yoo Yeol was diagnosed with 'rare form of pulmonary fibrosis' in 2017. The average survival rate for pulmonary fibrosis is relatively short at 3 to 4 years. He, who found it difficult to even breathe, miraculously succeeded in undergoing a lung transplant last year and regained his health.
On Nov. 11, 2023, a video titled 'Shocking! What happened to singer Yoo Yeol?!' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Eden Church 0691TV'. In the video, Yoo Yeol appeared to share his recent situation with the public after a long time. As a church evangelist, he was seen giving testimonies and singing, while his significantly thinner appearance and hoarse voice surprised viewers.
Yoo Yeol debuted in the music industry in 1986 after winning the grand prize at the MBC College Song Festival with 'Just as You Are.' He produced hit songs such as 'After the Breakup' and 'The Glamorous Days' and was actively involved as a radio DJ for 'Yoo Yeol's Music Album' on KBS 2FM from 1994 to 2007. He also evokes nostalgia for the 80s and 90s through the romance film 'Yoo Yeol's Music Album,' starring actors Jung Haein and Kim Goeun. Yoo Yeol married his 15-years-younger partner after dating for seven years in 2012.
