On this day’s broadcast, Kim Jeong-su cooked rice with various grains to control blood sugar levels and enjoyed lunch by cooking various vegetable side dishes. He attracted attention by eating only a small amount, less than half a bowl of rice.

He reported the situation at the time, saying, “When I looked at the endoscopy, there was a large cancer,” and “the doctors told me to give up because it was too late.”
Kim Jeong-su recalled, “I played soccer every weekend. I went there one day and had bloody stool. It was the same the next day. I couldn’t raise my head, so I lay down and asked my manager to go to the emergency room.”
He continued, “When I looked at the gastroscopy, I found that I had terminal stomach cancer. I never felt any pain or anything, but then suddenly, like in a movie, they said, ‘I have terminal stomach cancer and I’m going to die,’ and I was dumbfounded and surprised. ‘I still have a lot of work to do, and I still have to make more music.’ “I was worried. I didn’t really care if I lived or died,” he confessed.

He recalled the time immediately after the surgery, saying, “I started chemotherapy a week after the surgery. Since 80% of my stomach was removed, I vomited like that when I ate half a cup of canned porridge.”
He continued, “I think I have a strong will. When I vomited, I brushed my teeth and ate and ate again for a week. Afterwards, my body seemed to have given up and ate the porridge. That’s how I lived.”
