Shim Kwon-ho “Liver cancer, alcoholism rumors, I’ll die soon” (‘My Way’)

Former wrestler Shim Kwon-ho talked about rumors of alcoholism and liver cancer.

In the TV Chosun liberal arts program ‘Star Documentary My Way’, which was aired on the 17th, he mentioned the rumors about alcoholism and the fight against liver cancer after his retirement.

Shim Kwon-ho said, “I don’t understand how you know and say that.” He said, “I enjoyed drinking and meeting people.

He added, “(At the time) I was running and exercising normally.”

Then, “People who don’t know me spread rumors like that. Seeing such a thing, throwing it at the people next to you,” he expressed his upset heart.

Meanwhile, Shim Kwon-ho is a gold medalist who won gold medals in the -48kg class at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the -54kg class at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
