Singer Pyeon Seung-yeop shocked viewers after being diagnosed with intestinal metaplasia, a condition that increases the risk of stomach cancer by 10 times.
The episode of Channel A 'Star Health Ranking Number One' airing on the 12th will take an in-depth look at the increased risk of stomach cancer when gastritis is left untreated for a long time.
The broadcast is presented as a "trot singer" special. Real singer Pyeon Seung-yeop, along with comedian and singer Park Su-rim and Oh Jeong Tae, will appear, singing their signature songs and engaging in a lively banter contest.
During a recent recording, when MC Jee Seokjin asked about his health, Pyeon Seung-yeop confessed to irregular eating habits, saying, "There are days when I have more than 10 events in a day, so I skip meals and then binge eat when I get home, so I worry about my stomach health."
On the day, Number One's attending physician, specialist Kim Se-wan, displayed stomach images caused by spicy and salty foods to raise awareness about stomach health. In particular, before revealing the rankings, he announced that a cast member had been found to have intestinal metaplasia, a disease that increases the risk of stomach cancer by 10 times, unsettling the studio.
Test results revealed that the person with intestinal metaplasia, in which the stomach lining becomes bumpy and changes to resemble intestinal tissue, was Pyeon Seung-yeop, causing shock. In the past, he had been diagnosed with stage 3 renal cancer and had overcome it.
Meanwhile, Park Su-rim, who said she had long suffered from reflux esophagitis, was stunned by a notice indicating a risk of oral cancer, and Oh Jeong Tae also lamented that Helicobacter pylori, which had been eradicated four years ago, was detected again.
The episode airs at 8 p.m. that day.
