Shim Kwon Ho's Health Update After Liver Cancer Surgery

Former wrestler Shim Kwon-ho has shared an update on his health after undergoing surgery for early-stage liver cancer and recovering well.

On the TV Chosun program "Joseon's Lovers," airing on the 6th, Shim Kwon-ho will be shown after his surgery, regaining his strength. In a video released before the broadcast, Shim Kwon-ho appeared at a hair salon, looking remarkably vibrant and surprising the studio cast.

After seeing Shim Kwon-ho's complexion on the VCR, Hwang Bo-ra exclaimed, "Your face looks so much better. Even just looking at your jawline, your skin tone has changed," expressing her surprise. Kang Su-ji agreed, saying, "You look like a different person," and echoed the sentiment about his significantly improved complexion. While the female MCs continued to analyze his health even with his face obscured, Choi Sung-guk and Kim Kuk-jin expressed some skepticism, but they soon appeared relieved by Shim Kwon-ho's healthy energy.

Shim Kwon-ho had previously revealed his diagnosis of early-stage liver cancer on "Joseon's Lovers" in February, drawing sympathy. At the time, he shared that he had been "so tired that I slept all day," recalling his past heavy drinking and his persistent fatigue. He admitted that he hadn't even told his parents and had felt like "running away from reality," his eyes welling up with tears.

However, with the encouragement of his acquaintances and the production team, Shim Kwon-ho decided to have the surgery. He recently shared the news of its success, stating, "I successfully dealt with the liver cancer. Your support gave me great strength." This broadcast will capture his first steps as he enters the full recovery period after his surgery. Having regained his vitality, Shim Kwon-ho piqued viewers' curiosity with a cryptic remark: "Today, I'm going to Jeju Island to heal. I'm going to meet someone."

Additionally, Shim Kwon-ho's healing trip to Jeju Island with Choi Hong-man and Yoon Jung-soo will be revealed. The unique combination of Shim Kwon-ho, described as the "shortest giant in sports," Choi Hong-man, the "tallest giant in sports," and Yoon Jung-soo, known as the "social butterfly of the entertainment industry," is heightening anticipation for the main broadcast. Shim Kwon-ho's miraculous return to laughter after overcoming his illness and his Jeju travelogue will be shown on "Joseon's Lovers."
