Sep 20, 2024

'Pyeon Restaurant' Nam Yoon-soo revealed the reason why his father had kidney transplant surgery.

On KBS 2TV 'New Release Pyeon Restaurant' (hereinafter 'Pyeon Restaurant', which aired on the 20th, Nam Yoon-soo's heart-wrenching story full of filial piety was revealed.

On this day, Nam Yoon-soo in the VCR appeared with a serious expression at a general hospital. It turns out that Nam Yoon-soo recently had a kidney transplant for his father.

Nam Yoon-soo said "Just before filming the drama, I heard that my dad was very sick. I gave my father a transplant for my kidney."

He "I don't think I've done much. I don't even know if it's a great thing. I did what I was supposed to do," he said, showing a solemn appearance.

He then explained why he decided to operate "My father had end-stage renal failure at the 5th stage. Think of it as the last step. Even though your skin is very dark and you have diabetes, you have low blood sugar. Low blood sugar is scarier than I thought. He sweats a lot, doesn't remember, and curses a lot. "I was supposed to meet my dad on the day of the examination, but I couldn't reach him. I was on the phone and I didn't even know what you were talking about. They said they were in the parking lot, so they wouldn't be there. Your memory is on and off. A lifetime of hemodialysis (in the case of father condition) will only have a 25% survival rate over 10 years. Seventy-five percent are dead. I went to see my dad because I was afraid he would die and said, `I'm going to transplant him.'

Then "My eldest brother has recently been married and has a baby. The younger brother was new to society, so I thought it would be right for me to do it," he said calmly.

Nam Yoon-soo visited his doctor to check his physical condition after surgery. It's only been a month since the surgery.

Nam Yoon-soo gave one to his father and carefully examined the remaining kidneys to see if they were functioning well and if there were any aftereffects of surgery. Fortunately, the remaining kidney is functioning well. However, the doctor advised "It's your job to maintain the function because you have to live long in the future."

I was deeply moved by Nam Yoon-soo's extreme filial piety, saying that all of the family members of the 'Pyeon Restaurant' were 'Amazing'. This was the same for the medical staff who watched it in person. The doctor in charge of Nam Yoon-soo's surgery said " (Nam Yoon-soo) is losing consciousness during preoperative anesthesia, and the last thing he said was "Please take care of your father". After saying that, I shed a tear and became anesthetized. I thought he was really a good son. There are so many fans in the hospital. He seems to have a deep filial piety to his father. He is a great son."

Nam Yoon-soo said "The surgery was not scary. I just thought it'd be nice to do it quickly. I met my dad briefly before the surgery, and he cried. I told my dad 'Let's meet in good health' and "I didn't even cry in front of my dad. How do you spill it? Dad's having a harder time..." he added.

Nam Yoon-soo then asked 'Did Dad oppose the surgery?' and "He opposed it a lot because he was acting and it was a visible job. But I said I'd do it. I didn't contact my parents on purpose and did it on my own. I also visited the hospital alone and contacted him. I went there in person, got tested, and was hospitalized. He also draws eight to nine barrels of blood at a time. I've done it many times."

Nam Yoon-soo said he also received psychiatric counseling. He asks "Is he doing it on his own will?" I just did it silently on my own. "I think I did it thinking only about my dad's health. Seeing my father struggling seems to have made me feel like I should be the breadwinner. That's why I'm heartbroken, but I want to take care of it."

Nam Yoon-soo also visited his father's doctor and thanked him. In addition, he visited all the medical staff who helped him with the long-term ceremony and presented lunch boxes and handwritten letters together.

Medical staff have never seen Nam Yoon-soo grimaceThe donor paid all the hospital bills. I learned a lot regardless of my age. I'm proud of you." He praised Nam Yoon-soo.
