Comedian Kim Soo-yong spoke about changes after collapsing from a myocardial infarction.
On the 15th broadcast of MBC Standard FM's Park Joonhyung, Park Young-jin's 2 o'clock Manse, comedian Kim Soo-yong appeared as a guest.
Park Joonhyung said, "As many people know, Mr. Kim Soo-yong lost consciousness and collapsed last winter due to an acute myocardial infarction, but fortunately he recovered his health and has been active a lot. Many people were worried. Please tell us how you've been."
In response, Kim Soo-yong said, "Nothing special. As for my current state. I do a lot of aerobic exercise and walks. And I come out when juniors call me. That's the situation," he said. He also confessed, when asked, "You quit smoking, didn't you?", "Yes. I completely quit the cigarettes I had smoked for quite a long time. I think that was the right thing to do."
Until he collapsed from the acute myocardial infarction he said he "loved cigarettes too much" and said, "I couldn't live without cigarettes. I was a complete heavy smoker. Then I quit immediately after I collapsed. Since that day. Cigarettes are bad for the lungs but also bad for the blood vessels. There are so many toxic substances. I wonder why I used to smoke. I also don't drink alcohol."
Also, when Park Joonhyung said, "You look really healthy and it seems you've gained a little weight," Kim Soo-yong lamented, "Because I don't smoke, I snack and munch a lot. That's the downside. My mouth gets bored so I pick up and eat things beside me. Because of that, gaining weight is the downside."
Meanwhile, when asked about rumors that "many speculated he collapsed because of overwork," he explained, "That's fake news. At that time I didn't have many schedules. An article like that came out asking whether I collapsed from overwork. But it was so embarrassing. The moment I saw that article in the hospital I thought, 'I don't have many schedules so it might look like I collapsed because of that, but it wasn't from overwork.'"
In particular, Kim Soo-yong surprised people by showing his left ear full of piercings. He explained, "I originally had three piercings. A few days ago I did two more when shooting content with an idol friend. Now I have five."
When asked, "Is it because the earlobe crease showed?", Kim So-yong said, "People kept staring at my ear saying that if you have an earlobe crease it indicates something about the cardiovascular system. I thought, 'This won't do. Let's smooth the crease with piercings,' so I did it," adding, "But the crease has smoothed a bit. If this smooths out I'll do the right side too. It's an experiment for now."
