Updates on the couple Ko Ji-yong and Heo Yang-im have been revealed and are drawing attention.
On the morning of the 22nd, family medicine specialist Heo Yang-im appeared on the SBS knowledge and health variety show "Three perspectives."
In that episode, they tracked down the culprit quietly destroying the brain, the central control tower of our body, in an era of digital dementia where it is hard to remember even family phone numbers without a smartphone.
Dr. Heo Yang-im focused on the danger signals the brain sends and said, "Forgetting where you parked or having a blank when you try to recall a word you just searched for are strong warnings that brain cells are being damaged." She went on to repeatedly emphasize why, now that we have entered an era with 1 million dementia patients, we must prevent the destruction of brain cells and control oxidative stress in the body.
Particularly, Heo Yang-im's appearance drew attention because it coincided with recent news about her husband Ko Ji-yong, capturing even more interest.
Last month Ko Ji-yong communicated with fans by conducting a live broadcast on his personal social media.
Wearing a gray hoodie and glasses, Ko Ji-yong looked thinner than before, his cheek fat gone and his gaunt face noticeable. Some fans expressed concern over his sunken cheeks. At the time Ko Ji-yong also laughed, saying, "I was drinking during the day. A friend said his earnings were good this month and that he made a lot of money. So why did I pay for the drinks?"
Last year, Ko Ji-yong, who appeared on KBS2's variety show "Mr. House Husband," said, "Two years ago my liver function dropped rapidly and I received inpatient treatment," and added, "My family was shocked. My mother even ran over. I am 180 cm tall, and at that time my weight dropped to 63 kg. It seemed my body was sending a signal."
He continued, "Following medical advice I quit both alcohol and smoking," and said, "Since then I didn't drink a single drop for six months. I have recovered a lot now," dispelling rumors about health problems.
Eun Ji-won said, "I was shocked when I first saw him. His body from dieting felt different. Still, his expression is much better now," expressing relief.
Meanwhile, Ko Ji-yong, a businessman and former member of Sechskies, married the beautiful doctor Heo Yang-im, an Ewha graduate, in 2013 and has a son.
