Kim Woo Bin opened up about his experience with nasopharyngeal cancer in a heartfelt interview.
On September 16th, the Shin Dong Yeop's YouTube channel shared a video featuring Kim Woo Bin and Kim Sung Kyun. During the conversation, host Shin Dong Yeop brought up Kim Woo Bin's cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Shin Dong Yeop said, "You're someone who doesn’t show pain, so it shocked me when you were diagnosed with cancer. After losing my mother, I learned how tough chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be. How did you get through that difficult time?"
Kim Woo Bin shared, "I've always been optimistic, finding something good in every situation. But when the doctor told me, 'At worst, you might only have 6 months,' it felt like a scene from a drama. I was so shocked and scared, hoping it was all a bad dream."
He added, "But I never thought, 'What if I can't beat this?' Instead, I saw it as an opportunity. As I went through treatment, I realized I hadn’t taken a break in 10 years since my debut. So, I used this time to reflect and focus on myself."
He continued, "The physical pain is the same for everyone, but I was lucky to have so much support from people who prayed for me. I truly believe that helped me recover quickly. Even the doctors were surprised by how fast I was healing. I keep that feeling with me, so it doesn’t fade."
Kim Woo Bin also shared how his experience changed him. "I want to give the prayers I received back to others. Every night before bed, I pray for miracles for other families. I’ve also become more open with my parents. "
He added, "It took courage to express my feelings to them, even though they’re the closest people to me. I also make sure to give them a good amount of spending money," he said with a smile.
