Singer Seongbong Choi admitted his false cancer battle and apologized.
In an apology sent to Xports News on the 29th, Choi Seong-bong said, “I am not currently battling cancer, and the previously reported diagnoses of thyroid cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, lung, liver and kidney metastases, except for major depressive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, are all false facts. “I sincerely apologize for causing a great disappointment.”
He said, “Until now, I have endured by taking dozens of psychiatric pills every day for ten years with just the craving to sing, but my reality is a hellish life where I want to organize my life every day because of the depression and scars that I don’t know where it comes from.” I will not dream of wanting to sing and let go, and I will live a life of reflection in a low position, not Choi Seong-bong, a musician.”
“I am currently working at a local restaurant to return the donations I received from you,” he said.
Recently, YouTuber Lee Jin-ho posted on the ‘Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho’ channel, ‘Shock! Choi Seong-bong’s transcript released… A video titled ‘The Reality of a False Cancer Fight’ was released, raising suspicions of his false cancer battle.
Lee Jin-ho told Choi Seong-bong that it was difficult to find side effects of chemotherapy, and that patient clothes were not used in university hospitals. He also claimed that he had proposed a meeting with a female fan on the same day last Chuseok, and also disclosed the details of the phone call with Choi Seong-bong. In the transcript, Choi Seong-bong, a cancer patient, was accused of drinking and smoking.
Afterwards, Choi Seong-bong denied the allegations raised earlier by disclosing a cancer-fighting diagnosis. In addition, on the 12th, he conducted a live video through his YouTube channel, and after raising suspicions, he was shocked by suggesting an extreme choice, saying that it was difficult due to malicious comments. A 119 rescue team was dispatched to the scene and the situation was rectified.
That night, Jinho Lee once again performed a live broadcast. He said that most of the donation money given to Choi Seong-bong was used for entertainment expenses, and that he should return the donation and start over. At the same time, Choi Seong-bong shocked once again by arguing that the diagnosis that was recently released through the media is also highly likely to be false.
Choi Seong-bong shocked the public by admitting the allegations about two weeks after the controversy broke out. However, there is still no communication on the fancafe because he has not posted anything.
On the other hand, Choi Seong-bong was the runner-up singer of tvN’s ‘Korea Got Talent Season 1’ aired in 2011. Earlier this year, the agency said that Seongbong Choi was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer through a health checkup in May of last year.
