Comedian Kim Soo-yong suddenly collapsed during filming and was taken to the emergency room in a frightening incident, but he reassured those around him with his characteristic sense of humor.
On the 17th, comedian Yoon Seok-joo wrote on his social media, "I was shocked to hear that senior Kim Soo-yong collapsed and contacted him. Comedians are people whose bodies may hurt but whose spirits do not easily give up," and wished for his senior's recovery.
Yoon Seok-joo also shared the conversation he had with Kim Soo-yong. To the words, "Are you okay, hyung? I'm worried," Kim Soo-yong wittily replied, "Fortunately I didn't die. I died and came back to life." When Yoon Seok-joo joked, "The condolence money is saved, yay," Kim Soo-yong continued his trademark cheerful banter, saying, "Darn."
On the afternoon of the 14th, Kim Soo-yong suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed while filming YouTube content in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province. Colleagues and staff on site immediately provided emergency care, and the dispatched fire ambulance performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation before urgently transporting him to Guri Hanyang University Hospital.
Fortunately, Kim Soo-yong regained breathing and consciousness, and is currently recovering while resting in the intensive care unit.
His agency, Media Lab Siso, issued an official statement saying, "Mr. Kim Soo-yong received treatment and fully regained consciousness. His condition is currently stable, and we are doing our best for a speedy recovery."
