Comedian Kim Chul-min, who is battling terminal lung cancer, revealed his hospital bed.
Kim Chul-min conducted a Facebook live broadcast on the afternoon of the 16th. In the approximately three-minute broadcast, he lay in the hospital room of the Korea Atomic Energy Hospital, staring at the screen without saying a word, and also showed a needle and a ringer in his arm. He had short hair and a white beard, and he had a pale face.
At the same time, Kim Chul-min uploaded a video of his hospital bed on his YouTube channel 'Kim Chul-min TV' under the title 'The time for farewell is coming'. In this video, which is slightly longer than the Facebook Live broadcast, he is wearing a mask. He just looked at the camera without saying a word.
Kim Chul-min was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in August 2019. Cancer cells have metastasized from the lungs to the lymph, liver and bones. After an unconfirmed claim that he had treated terminal cancer with a dog repellent drug spread online, Kim Chul-min drew attention by announcing that he would take 'fenbendazole', a dog repellent drug. At the beginning of taking the drug, he delivered hopeful news that the pain decreased and the tumor became smaller, but after that, his condition worsened, so he stopped taking it and concentrated on hospital treatment.
Kim Chul-min has been communicating with his fans by posting his battle with the disease on Facebook. On the 17th of last month, he said, "I am fighting cancer cells that have spread all over my body. It hurts so much, but I will endure to the end."
