Broadcaster Kim Sook welled up as she recalled the moment Kim Soo-yong went into cardiac arrest.
On the 29th, a video titled "Kim Soo-yong, returned from death.. the story of that day (ft. Im Hyung-jun, gapyeong fire station paramedics)" was uploaded to the "Kim Sook TV" channel.
In the video that day, Kim Soo-yong, who survived a brush with death from acute myocardial infarction, and Im Hyung-jun, who helped with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, appeared as guests. Kim Sook explained the situation at the time, "He really made no sound and just clutched his (chest), knelt down and immediately fell backward," and Im Hyung-jun said, "Sook said, 'Is this guy not joking?'"
Kim Sook joked, "What my brother said was, 'Is this a joke or what?' I looked at his face. Do you know how you can tell it's not a joke? He doesn't act that well," and Im Hyung-jun explained, "We talked about that too. In the meantime Sook said, 'He doesn't act this well! It's real!'" Then Kim Soo-yong said, "I'll sue for defamation," which drew laughter.
Kim Sook said, "No, he doesn't act well. Because it was really real," and Im Hyung-jun explained, "As soon as she said that, (Kim Sook's) manager climbed on." Kim Sook recounted the urgent situation: "'Do CPR now! Call 119 quickly!' then 'Manager, are you okay? Switch. Brother, come up quickly.' When the manager got better she said, 'Brother, get out of the way, do it quickly' and because his hands turned so white she said, 'Hurry and come rub his hands.'"
Im Hyung-jun said, "When Sook told him to take off his shoes, we took off his shoes. We organized everything. It was almost like being a director. The manager got on first and I opened the pill on the necklace and put it in his mouth, but he spat it out. Then Sook picked the pill up again," and Kim Sook said, "His mouth was tightly closed so I forced it open." Im Hyung-jun joked, "Is the jaw bone okay?" and Kim Soo-yong playfully said, "It hurts a bit — oh, it's you! It feels like my jaw bone popped out?" Kim Sook emphasized, "Usually women can't open it. Because it was me I opened it. I opened it like this and put it in."
In particular, Kim Sook said, "Actually I'm so grateful to him. I'll say one thing. Thank you so much for bringing him back here. I actually told Hyung-jun brother while following the ambulance that I think I need to rest for a while," and said, "If it had gone badly I probably couldn't have worked. Because Hyung-jun brother and I were the ones who kept looking at his face until the end. It was about nine minutes. They came quickly but it felt like a day," describing the trauma. The three then shared a deep embrace, moving viewers.
Afterward Kim Sook said, "I prepared something for senior. Today, because we ate a lot of meat and such for the brother who returned alive, we'll refrain from meat and start with tea," and served foods good for the blood vessels. Kim Soo-yong added, "I've made a resolution. I was reborn. So I'll think of Im Hyung-jun as my father and Kim Sook as my mother. Please accept me as your adopted son," which added more laughter.
Kim Sook said, "Now you must eat only things that are good for your body. The good old days are over," and revealed photos that captured the urgent scene, saying, "I had no thoughts. But when he fell, about 10 minutes passed. The police appeared right away. When they looked at his face they asked, 'Who is this person seeing for the first time?'" She said, "To be precise, we did CPR for about 10 minutes and the paramedics did it for 20 minutes. The total was 30 minutes. But he didn't regain breathing. He didn't come back at all during the 30 minutes. I felt like I had become the culprit," and Kim Soo-yong joked, "Because you said you'd kill me when you were a rookie. The police must have thought you were the culprit."
Kim Sook continued, "From the first witness onward they started asking for the first symptoms and to bring his ID. We did everything. Then I saw the police write something and when they saw he was about 57 years old we realized we were not young. We all met in our 20s, right? We're still in that feeling. We're not old yet, we're young. But the moment I saw the number I thought it wouldn't be strange if someone collapsed at that age," and she said, "Later when I heard that senior had woken up they said visits weren't allowed. I thought I should visit Hyung-jun brother. Because the last face of senior was the face when his breath stopped. The same for Hyung-jun brother. It looked like the moment of dying breath so I couldn't sleep and I was so scared," recalling how trauma robbed her of sleep as she welled up.
She said, "But later senior took a photo. Was it a book about foods good for blood vessels? He was reading some odd book and took a photo and sent it. I'm relieved now, my mind is at ease," and Kim Soo-yong said, "I spoke with the paramedic and the hospital. They asked me to tell them about the situation. They said he regained consciousness in the car and they talked. They asked, 'Do you know how you got here?' and he asked, 'Did I get in a traffic accident?' He said, 'I suddenly collapsed and am going to the hospital.' But a little later he asked again, 'Did I get in a traffic accident?' That was delirium."
Kim Sook said, "Do you remember that he saw my sister when he was brought into the emergency room? My sister said she definitely saw him. I said, 'She wasn't in her right mind,' but he said he saw my sister," and Kim Soo-yong also said, "Song Eun I saw her too. He said I smiled. I don't think I recognized anyone," expressing puzzlement. Kim Sook said, "Don't you remember what you said to my sister? Right after arriving at the hospital. You said, 'What are you doing here?'" and Im Hyung-jun joked, "When my sister-in-law went into the operating room, these days my brother speaks warmly to her and doesn't get irritated, and people change when they are about to die. So don't treat them too well," which drew laughter. Then Kim Soo-yong quipped, "You should have been irritating and annoying; you were too nice. I have to go back to the way I was," which set off peals of laughter.
