BTOB Ilhoon found to be at risk for lung cancer

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

BTOB’s Ilhoon was one of the many idols who appeared in the recent idol special episode of KBS2 variety program Vitamin, where they were each tested for cancerous genes. Ilhoon’s results were the most startling of all.


In the human body there are 33 genes that suppresses cancer and if more than 11 of them are methylized, that particular person is diagnosed to be developing cancer. Ilhoon’s results indicated he had seven out of the 33 genes methylized, and received a warning. However, he was given a “Danger” diagnosis because the seven methylized genes are in correlation a specific type of cancer, lung cancer.

Professor Kim Hyun Mi, a domestic medical specialist, said, “Direct and indirect smoking are mains causes of lung cancer, but an indoor lifestyle can increase your chances of developing lung cancer.”

When the professor asked what his life style was like he responded, “I spend most of my time in practice facilities underground and I don’t really take walks.”

After receiving his startling diagnosis, Ilhoon sent a video message to the president of Cube Entertainment stating, “Sir, I need an air conditioner, time for walks and a dorm with good air. Oh and our car is a bit old too.”

Recently, Cube Entertainment announced BTOB’s upcoming mini-album, The Winter’s Tale, set to release December 22.

Kay but does he smoke though?Considering how common it is over there, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of idols do it lowkey, especially when people use it to destress or lose weight.

But baby needs to take care of his health

I knew someone who got lung cancer and he wasn't a smoker...

Yeah, I remember a while back about the news reporting something about doctor's looking into third hand smokers.

Usually, the one who around the people who smoke risk of getting cancer more than the one who smoke. It usually happen irl. That's why if you smoke, do a courtesy and smoke when nobody is around..

I haven't smoke once in my life but I live with my mom and brother, both who are basically chimneys.

Lung cancer on people under 40 is not common and he's still very young but if he's at risk of getting it in the future he has to take care of his health more carefully than other people that don't have those genes. I hope he never gets it anyway. Nobody should go through that.

Smoking is so common in korea, even if he himself doesn't smoke, passive smoking might just be enough for people with a genetic susceptibility for cancer.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if he smoked.

I have never smoked, but I am at risk at developing lung cancer because my Mum and a lot of my rellies all smoked like chimneys, my Mum especially was a massive chain smoker for most of my life until I left home.

I hope bb takes care of his health.
