Kim Cheol-min debuted as a comedian in the 5th class of MBC public recruitment in 1994 and was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in August last year. In November of the same year, he attracted attention by taking fenbendazole, a dog dewormer, alongside chemotherapy treatment.


However, in September, when the cancer metastasized to other areas and his liver levels increased, showing no effect from chemotherapy, he eventually stopped taking fenbendazole.


On October 22, he participated in the Ministry of Health and Welfare's national audit and revealed, "There was a case in the U.S. where lung cancer was completely cured in three months after taking fenbendazole, but in my case, the cancer grew even after taking fenbendazole and metastasized to the cervical vertebrae to the extent that major surgery was required," evoking sympathy.



Since then, Kim Cheol-min has continued his battle with cancer by undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy at the hospital.
