Singer Choi Seong-bong apologized for allegations of ‘fighting false cancer’.
On the 29th, Choi Seong-bong admitted to a false cancer battle by releasing an apology through X-Sports News.
In an apology, Choi Seong-bong said, “I sincerely apologize for causing a social upheaval and great disappointment over the controversy over the authenticity of ‘Choi Seong-bong’s false cancer battle’ reported in the media. Except for major depressive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, lung, liver and kidney metastases are all false facts.”
He said, “I am truly heartbroken that for the past 10 years since the airing of ‘Korea’s Got Talent’ aired in 2011, the false hypocrisy and scandal of ‘battling cancer’ has caused a scandal with everyone who has given me the undeserved adjective ‘icon of hope’ and who has sincerely supported me. I deeply apologize, and I bow my head and express my deepest apologies to the countless cancer patients who are still living in pain and to the bereaved families who have died from cancer.”
He continued, “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 sincerely thank and apologize to everyone who cared for me and cared for me, and I hope that you will believe that every moment of my desire to sing was sincere. I will no longer dream of putting everything down and singing, and I will live a life of reflection in a low position, not Choi Seongbong, a musician.”
In addition, he is working at a local restaurant to return the donations he received from you.” He said, “Even if it takes a while, I will repay the donations received from everyone for the rest of my life and regret the sin of deception through hypocrisy.”
