"I went to the afterlife" Kim Su-yong, cardiac arrest for 20 minutes…reveals the dizzying moment during acute myocardial infarction
Comedian Kim Su-yong directly recounted the dizzying moments of life and death when he collapsed from an acute myocardial infarction. It shocked people when it was revealed that his heart had stopped for more than 20 minutes.
On the 7th, the YouTube channel 'Jo Dong-a-ri' posted a video titled [Ep.69] starting again with a renewed heart…. The video featured Kim Yong-man, Ji Seok-jin and Kim Su-yong together, and they recalled the situation when Kim Su-yong collapsed. Kim Yong-man said, "That day is still vivid," and recalled the tense moment, "I was in Japan when I got a message from Kim Sook saying 'Su-yong oppa collapsed.' My mind went blank instantly."
Kim Su-yong also recalled the time, saying, "That day I, as usual, got in the car and went to the filming location." He drew attention by mentioning the abnormal signs right before he collapsed. He said, "When I arrived at the set I always smoked, but that day the cigarette tasted unusually bitter," and confessed, "I have no memory after smoking that cigarette."
Kim Yong-man said, "From what I heard later, his heart had stopped and he was in cardiac arrest for more than 20 minutes. The moment I heard that, I thought everything was over," and he could not continue.
On the 13th of last month, Kim Su-yong suddenly collapsed while filming YouTube content with Kim Sook in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi Province. He was immediately taken to the emergency room, received cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other emergency treatment, and was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. He later underwent angioplasty and is currently recovering his health.
In a later video released on the YouTube channel 'VIVO TV,' Kim Su-yong shared a calmer update. With his characteristic humor he said, "I went to the afterlife, but they told me there was no T.O. on the list yet. They told me to come back quickly, so I said, 'Yes, thank you,' and returned to this life," drawing laughter.
But he said his attitude toward health management has definitely changed. Kim Su-yong said, "I don't drink, and although I was a heavy smoker, now it's over," and added, "I wrote a list of things I won't eat: alcohol, cigarettes, hamburgers, cola, cake, even grilled meat. Eating is important, but exercise is really important." He especially said, "I'm grateful that I can laugh like this. A person who died once and came back," and sincerely added, "My values have completely changed. Now if someone says they smoke, I tell them, 'Don't cut back, quit completely.' I live thinking I was born again."
After the video was released, internet users have continued to leave supportive comments such as "He really overcame a big crisis," "Health is the top priority now," and "Please let Su-yong hyung keep smiling for a long time."
Kim Su-yong crossed the threshold of death and came back. Warm support from his colleagues and viewers continues for his confession.
