In a recent interview with The KoreaTimes, Nam Woohyun - a member of the famous Korean boy band Infinite revealed that in April 2022, he was diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). This is an extremely rare form of cancer with a rate of 1/100,000 people.
Nam Woohyun overcomes difficulties in life changes, from changing companies to declining health.
According to the Infinite singer, his case required emergency surgery. Therefore, the male idol rushed to organize events and performances for fans in January and February this year before undergoing surgery.
For Woohyun, he had no idea how exhausting the recovery process would be after the surgery. He realized that the difficulties he faced were more than he thought.
"After the surgery, I had to abstain from drinking water for nearly three weeks and had a 20cm long scar on my stomach. I even had to have a blood transfusion," Nam Woohyun shared, adding that he received great support and encouragement from his family and the elderly in the hospital.
The enthusiastic care of doctors and nurses brought him inspiration to have more positive energy, recover soon and continue to pursue his passion for music.
The male singer still wants to pursue his passion for music even though his health after surgery is no longer the same as before.
However, despite the surgery, his health after treatment was not as good as before. The male singer could not perform with all his heart and enthusiasm as before.
"The doctor said I might not be able to sing like before. My musical journey has become 4.5 times more difficult because of breathing problems when performing," the Infinite member shared. However, he still wants to stand on stage, return to singing soon and release products for fans.
However, he felt like he was reborn after the surgery. His thoughts became deeper and more mature. This has strongly influenced Nam Woohyun's current music.
Not only was he suffering from health issues, he also faced many difficulties after leaving Woollim Entertainment, which he had been with for 14 years. The male singer was also the last member of Infinite to leave Woollim. He then signed an exclusive contract with JFlex, which later merged with Blade Entertainment.
Continuous challenges in life from changing management companies and health problems also made Nam Woohyun think about leaving the entertainment industry.
