Seo Jang-hoon, a former basketball Korean male representative, has revealed that he is looking for a way to help former basketball Korean female representative medalist Kim Young-hee, who is suffering from acromegaly (giantism). ..

In the MBC "Radio Star" broadcast on the 5th, Seo Jang Hoon was asked a question about Kim Young Hee. Kim appeared on the YouTube channel "Recent Olympics" last November and revealed that he received financial support from Seo Jang Hoon.

Seo Jang-hoon said, "(Mr. Kim Young-hee) was exercising healthy until the Los Angeles Olympics, but (currently his condition) is getting worse and he is fighting illness. "It looks like it was," he said. "I'm looking for a way to help more."

Kim appeared on the YouTube channel "Recent Olympics" last November and said, "After participating in the Asian Games in 1986, in November 1987, I had a symptom of half-body paralysis during practice and became blind. "I was about to lose my eyesight," he said. "I had a big hump on my head (inside) that was pressing on my optic nerve. I took more than 15 tablets of painkillers a day."

"The other day, I was very ill and was hospitalized for two months. Acromegaly (giantism) is a disease in which the organs grow, so it seems that a lot of blood had accumulated in the place where I had surgery before." She explained that he lives on a pension of 700,000 won (about 67,000 yen) a month.

Acromegaly is a disease caused by excessive secretion of growth hormone. Bone growth causes enlargement of soft tissues such as the tongue as well as limbs and face.
