[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Actor Choi Sung-won revealed that he wrote a will after the relapse of leukemia.

Choi Sung-won appeared on the JTBC variety show 'Uri_Sai' which aired its first episode on the 28th, along with his 15-year friends, actors Lim Cheol-soo and Park Hae-soo.

Choi Sung-won said, "My condition has been fluctuating these days," and added, "I underwent a transplant for fundamental treatment. The leukemia itself is completely cured, but there are aftereffects. My nails are splitting due to dryness, and my mouth is dry."

Previously, Choi Sung-won was diagnosed with leukemia in 2016 and was diagnosed with a relapse in 2020.

Choi Sung-won stated, "Two years ago, I had to undergo a (bone marrow) transplant due to the relapse of leukemia, but whenever that happens, I tend to find something bad and difficult," and added, "Not knowing what would happen, I wrote a will on the computer."

He continued, "When I was wondering 'Who should I ask?', the person who came to mind was Cheol-soo," and said, "But after actually writing the will, I deleted it."

He went on, "I thought positively, thinking that I would get better, that I would live again," and said, "Cheol-soo is that kind of friend to me."

Choi Sung-won has resumed activities despite the aftereffects. He explained, "Acting is the most fun for me," and said, "(Although I am struggling due to the aftereffects) I think I still wanted to act nonetheless."
