Lee Jung-seop diagnosed gastric cancer → 34 resection surgery...I've even told her dumping syndrome



Actor Lee Jung-seop appeared thinner after gastric cancer surgery, causing regret.

In the pre-released video of MBN 'Special World' released on the 29th, Lee Jung-seop drew attention with a different face.

On this day, Lee Jung-seop played a lot of feminized male characters and homosexuals, recalling his past as an actor. Cha In-pyo and Shin Ae-ra appeared as the store owner of a women's clothing boutique in the drama 「Love in Your arms」, where Cha In-pyo and Shin Ae-ra couple were born, but I was bored because they thought I was a real woman and told me to keep looking at the line" he said.




He then expressed his honest feelings, saying, `If I were not my grandson, I would have chosen to be single.'

Lee Jung-seop considered the time to be "the first shock to my life" "and even to die or become a monk.", he confessed.

He had an endoscope while filming a health program in 2015, and the PD in charge told him 'end of gastric cancer' and thought the world was collapsing. However, a thorough examination revealed that it was the beginning of the first stage, so he underwent a major surgery to remove three-quarters of his stomach and completely recovered from gastric cancer," he said directly.




However, the pain did not end even after stomach cancer surgery. Lee Jung-seop has been suffering from dumping syndrome since surgery""As the food passes through the small intestine undigested, various symptoms appear..." he said.

Dumping syndrome is a common complication after gastrectomy, accompanied by various symptoms that make daily life difficult, such as sudden hypoglycemia, abdominal pain, and dizziness.

Finally, Lee Jung-seop calmly revealed that `I'm living in prayer every day not to die.'
