168cm Heo Kyung-hwan, bone-breaking limb extensions counseling failure will ruin his life



Comedian Heo Kyung-hwan thought about limb extensions.

On SBS 'My Ugly Baby' (hereinafter 'My Ugly Bird') which aired on the 10th, Heo Kyung-hwan and Kim Jun-ho visited the hospital to receive surgery counseling for growing up.

Heo Kyung-hwan and Kim Jun-ho's exact height were revealed on the show.




Heo Kyung-hwan was 168.2cm and Kim Jun-ho was 168.5cm. Kim Joon-ho, who was condescending that he was 1cm taller than Heo Kyung-hwan, was rather shocked.

The specialist said, "'Huh Kyung-hwan's lower body ratio is shorter than the Korean average', adding "But his arm is long, so he will look 180cm when the desired height is 177cm."

On the other hand, Kim Jun-ho said "The ratio is worse" and "It is difficult to extend to that extent because the arms are short".




The specialist says "This surgery is, to be precise, a limb extensions. It's a bone-breaking surgery. If you stretch your bones little by little, your bones grow like soft tofu in the middle. Most representatively, there is an external fixation extension", showing the actual surgical situation in a model. Then "It's not a simple surgery to think about. It is an operation that can ruin your life if the operation fails, complications occur, and side effects occur. Don't take it lightly.'

Heo Kyung-hwan invited Ha Seung-jin, the tallest man and woman in Korea, while agonizing over the specialist's words. The two said they were long and weighed more than 5.6 kilograms since birth, adding that `The inconvenience of being tall is that they get caught in branches and spider webs when walking.'

Ahn Jae-wook, who was watching this, said "I'm about 175cm tall. When I weighed myself by a medical examination, I came out as 174.1cm one day. No, I'll measure it again. It was originally claimed to be 175.3 centimeters. The 1cm was measured again because of the pride. The nurse came and just wrote it for me."




Seo Jang-hoon, the national team's tall center, said, `I'm also losing my height. He confessed, "I came out about 206cm at the peak, but now I get taller every year."
