• Kim Woo Bin Talks About His Battle With Cancer In "Unexpected Business 2"

    Actor Kim Woo Bin drew attention as he seemed to be referring to the time of fighting nasopharyngeal cancer.

    On tvN's "Unexpected Business 2", which aired on March 3rd, presidents Jo In Sung, Cha Tae Hyun, and part-timers Kim Woo Bin, Lee Kwang Soo, and Lim Joo Hwan finished their business safely and had a sincere conversation.

    On this day, the members gathered together and talked. While other members were drinking regular beer, Kim Woo Bin looked for a non-alcoholic beer.

    When Lee Kwang Soo joked, "Woo Bin, reduce your non-alcoholic beer", Kim Woo Bin replied, "Brother, don't stop me today", drawing laughter.

    In the trailer released at the end of the broadcast, Kim Woo Bin brought up the story, "I took courage and asked my father to go on a trip". In response, Lee Kwang Soo frankly confessed, "I was moved to see Woo Bin".

    In the meantime, Kim Woo Bin said, "Many people worried a lot", raising questions as if he was referring to the suspension of his activities due to nasopharyngeal cancer in the past.

    Kim Woo Bin was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in May 2017 and stopped working. Since then, he has been diagnosed with complete recovery in 2019.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service.
