Actor Kim Woo Bin reflects on his battle with cancer. 5 years sober: ”I believe the support and prayers of many people give me strength”

Actor Kim Woo Bin reflected on his battle with nasopharyngeal cancer.

On the 16th, the YouTube channel ‘Chanan (sorry/cheers with two meanings) Brother Shin Dong Yeob’ side released a video titled ‘Kim Woo Bin, Kim Sung Kyun [Chanan Brother] EP.59 As soon as he sits down, he is a small capacity bladder man looking for a toilet’.

In the video, Kim Woo Bin said, "When I had been sober for five years without drinking at all, it was time for my return film 'Space + People Part 1' to come out. At the launch on the day of the preview, I drank one beer with my closest (Cho) In Sung's brothers, and they told me that I would be fine in the hospital, so I drink when I go on trips sometimes", he revealed.

Shin Dong Yeob then said, "Woo Bin is the type of person who doesn't really show that he is sick, so I was very surprised at the time when it was reported on the news, especially without an interview. I know how hard anti-cancer treatment and radiotherapy is, I know from watching my own mother, how she endured it and how hard it was...", referring to Kim Woo-bin's battle with the disease.

In response, Kim Woo-bin said "I'm a bit on the positive side. I'm the kind of person who finds the good in every situation", but he also confided, "I was very surprised when I was suddenly told at the hospital, like in the drama, that I had only six months to live, so I was scared and wished it was a dream, and that's what happened."

Kim Woo Bin also said, "I believe that simply because my face is known, so many people supported me and prayed for me and that really gives me strength. The progress has been very good and the hospital said they were very surprised. I could see it getting better," she said, thanking those who had supported her.
