Kpop Star Nam Woohyun Suffered From Rare Cancer And Even Underwent Surgery
Recently, the Kpop star, Nam Woohyun opened up about how he struggled with his cancer diagnosis. In a confessional interview, he said, “I was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, for which I underwent surgery.” He made this revelation on 23 November 2023.
It was in the early months of this year, that Nam Woohyun was diagnosed with the above-mentioned disease. After he was done with the operation, he came back with his concerts and the release of a mini album.
To be more particular about his return, Nam Woohyun made his return to the music industry with his first studio album- Whitree, on 28 November. On the other hand, he kept his concerts scheduled for this month. The dates are yet to be publicized. However, one must note that Nam Woohyun’s concert is going to take place in Seoul, for now.
Initially, when the doctors suggested surgery, he thought it would not take much time. But, it took long hours as the surgeon found the tumor much bigger at the time. Nam Woohyun also shared that he was under anesthesia for 10 long hours. Not a matter of joke!
At the time of diagnosis, the doctors had told Nam that would not be able to sing and perform before the surgery. Why? Unfortunately, before the operation was done, singing or doing concerts would cause him difficulty in breathing normally.
Knowing this, the Kpop singer was devastated. What if a footballer unfortunately loses his legs in an accident and is unable to play? Nam Woohyun had the same feeling. On this note, the Infinite singer said, “I felt miserable because I thought I was not going to be able to have this job anymore.”
However, Nam Woohyun didn’t fail to praise and appreciate his fans’ concerns and love. Because of them, he has been able to make his comeback on the stage, as shared by himself. In addition to that, Nam also shared that the nurses who looked after him at the hospital encouraged him that doing exercise and eating well daily would help him continue his career as a Kpop artist.
Guess, what? Nam Woohyun didn’t stop himself. Despite the doctors vised him to take rest for a while, the Infinite group made its comeback in July. He pushed himself.
