Actor Lee Jung-seop told how he has become slimmer.

On the 29th, MBN 'Special World' posted a pre-released video saying 'Actor Lee Jung-seop, the story of praying not to die'.

Recalling his active career as an actor, Lee Jung-seop acted as a gay man in the role of a feminized male, and it was amazing, so he appeared in 「Love in Your arms」, where Cha In-pyo and Shin Ae-ra were born. I acted as the shopkeeper of a women's clothing boutique, and he thought I was a real woman."

Then "I was tired of being told how to look at the line (in the house). If I were not my grandson, I would have been single." He also revealed that he had an unwanted marriage due to family compulsion.

Lee Jung-seop "It was the first shock of my life. I was going to die or be married," he said, adding curiosity to the story that will follow by mentioning the past dark time.

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-seop appeared in a leaner manner on the day, drawing concerns from Internet users. Lee Jung-seop had stomach cancer surgery in the past. He had an endoscopy in the 2015 health program. However, the representative PD said 'When I did the endoscopy, it was said that it was the end of gastric cancer'." A detailed examination showed that it was not the end stage, but the first stage, and I had surgery to remove three-quarters of the stomach. Gastric cancer was cured, but he later said he suffered from dumping syndrome, causing regret again. Dumping syndrome is a complication that can occur after gastrectomy, and refers to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and sweating that occur when food moves to the small intestine without going through the digestion process.

Lee Jung-seop's episode 'Special World' will air at 9:10 p.m. on the 30th.
