Trot singer Park Seojin was found to be at risk for pancreatic cancer based on his constitution.
On the 20th, a video titled "If you know your constitution, you become healthier and smarter???" was uploaded to Park Seojin's YouTube channel.
That day Park Seojin visited a Korean medicine clinic. He said, "After turning thirty, I started feeling little by little that something was wrong with my body. So I wondered whether this was really because of aging or because something else was off. I told Enoch hyung that my health wasn't good, and he said then get a constitution test. Depending on your constitution there are things you can eat and things you can't. I visited the clinic to take an 8-constitution test," he explained.
After entering the clinic, Park Seojin shared, "I've been to a Korean medicine clinic for acupuncture and chongmyeong-tang. I took chongmyeong-tang hoping it might help a bit when studying English, but it didn't really make me any smarter." After filling out the questionnaire, when asked, "What would you be curious about?" he said, "If I take the constitution test I want to ask how I can lose weight faster, how I can become smarter. I'm so dumb.." expressing his frustration.
After completing the full constitution test, Park Seojin returned to the clinic two weeks later to receive the results. The Korean medicine doctor said, "It's the soil constitution. We look at two things. One is data on cancer: each person has a ranking of the strongest and weakest organs. There is an organ called the 'disease root.' it's the organ from which disease originates. The condition needing the most management is pancreatic cancer."
He added, "That doesn't mean this will definitely occur. We tell you which foods to eat to prevent it and how to prevent it through acquired measures. A characteristic of this constitution is that the heart is the second strongest organ," and warned, "Except for things with wings, you can eat everything. Fried chicken is not very good."
He also said, "Because the pancreas and stomach are strong, you like to eat. So it's hard not to eat. If you don't eat you lose strength. When you're really into something, not eating makes you very unhappy and it becomes hard. So you shouldn't watch mukbangs," offering advice. In response, Park Seojin expressed concern, "If I watch mukbangs I immediately order that. I can't help but watch them."
He asked, "Dieting is hard. How should someone of this constitution go on a diet?" The Korean medicine doctor said, "If you eat according to the constitution, you'll lose weight." He continued, "This constitution has a somewhat weak kidney. So you can swell. There are foods that strengthen the kidneys," and explained, "If you eat those, your fatigue will decrease a lot. Tonic medicines like deer antler velvet or ginseng don't suit you. They may give a temporary boost but then leave you more depressed and tired. Cordyceps sinensis can help. Generally it's not used much, but a medicine called rehmannia also helps replenish energy. It is especially helpful for dieting."
Hearing this, Park Seojin laughed and showed greed, saying, "Make me a full tonic prescription," and "Make it a tonic that will make my head smarter, help me lose weight and change my constitution."
