[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Comedian Kim Cheolmin, who is battling lung cancer, shared the results of his brain MRI after five months of taking the dog dewormer 'Fenbendazole,' revealing his health condition.

On the 19th, Kim Cheolmin posted on his Facebook, "The brain MRI results came out today." He added, "Thanks to your prayers and love, the results came back normal. Today is a gift."

Previously, Kim Cheolmin announced that he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last year. It is known that the cancer had metastasized to his waist and liver, and there was a possibility of metastasis to the brain as well.

In September of last year, Kim Cheolmin said, "I heard that Fenbendazole is effective in treating cancer," and added, "I don't have much time left. So, I decided to take a chance," and began taking the dog dewormer.

Currently, he is in his fifth month of taking Fenbendazole and has been sharing the results through social networking services (SNS).

Meanwhile, Fenbendazole is a type of benzimidazole used as a dog dewormer to eradicate protozoa, roundworms, hookworms, parasites, and tapeworms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract. Recently, some cases in the United States have reported its effectiveness against cancer, leading to an increase in cancer patients taking it in Korea as well.

In particular, despite the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety warning, "Fenbendazole, the main ingredient in dog (animal) dewormers, has not undergone clinical trials to evaluate efficacy and effectiveness in humans. Its safety and efficacy for humans have not been proven at all," the shortage of Fenbendazole continues.

The full text of Kim Cheolmin's post is as follows:

2020.2.19. The brain MRI results came out today.

Thanks to the prayers and love of my Facebook friends, the results came back normal.

Today is a gift.
