Mixed martial arts fighter Choi Hong-man revealed why he had hidden himself in the past.

On the 5th, tvN's You Quiz on the Block official YouTube channel released a video titled "The return of 'Techno Goliath' Choi Hong-man: a full reveal of why he hid himself for a while and his recent romantic developments."

In the video, Yoo Jae-suk said, "You suddenly disappeared in 2008 when you were at your career high," and Choi Hong-man honestly replied, "At that time I had a health check and a tumor was found in my brain. I fought against Bada Hai then. But the decision wasn't made until the third round, so I gave up. I was anxious just in case. I was flooded with criticism asking, 'Why didn't you finish it?'"

He added that it was also a time when wounds from people began to accumulate. He choked up and showed his deep affection for his mother, saying, "My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It metastasized and she was in a critical condition. My mother was my whole life. She was always on my side. My only supporter."

Regarding recent concerns, he frankly said, "People seem to want to see my second generation. I have a desire to try."

Meanwhile, the tvN program in which Choi Hong-man appears, You Quiz, will air today (the 5th) at 8:45 p.m.<
