Former track and field athlete Lim Chun-ae met with Shim Kwon-ho and expressed her concern, “People say that he had liver cirrhosis because he drank Shim Kwon-ho. Isn’t he drinking every day?” Shim said, “I’ve never been like that. . I really don’t drink alcohol while walking around. At one point, the rumor suddenly became strange.”

Lim Chun-ae said, “I’m getting older and I’m worried about not getting married and not having children,” and “I want you to take care of your health.” Shim Kwon-ho said, “I’m lonely,” and said, “I wake up in the morning and yearn for someone to be by my side. I want to start a family and go on a trip with the three of us,” he said.
He continued, “I drank some alcohol because I was alone. As a result, my physical strength became poor. I thought that this was not the case,” he said.
