Kwon Sang-woo confessed that he had undergone liver hemangioma surgery ahead of the filming of Hitman 2.

Kwon Sang-woo, Lee Yi-kyung, and Hwang Woo-seul-hye, the main characters of the movie 『Hit Man 2" appeared on the YouTube channel 『Salty Han Hyung Shin Dong-yeop』 released on the 20th to talk about various things.

In the broadcast on this day, Lee Yi-kyung asked Shin Dong-yup "Are you a person who doesn't have a hangover?" while Shin Dong-yup replied "I don't have any." Kwon Sang-woo then made an unexpected health confession, mentioning his drinking habits.




"Originally, I was the type to throw up when I drank. Kwon Sang-woo carefully said, "I'm talking about this for the first time today, but do you know why the filming of 'Hit Man 2' was divided into before and after?"

Kwon Sang-woo undergoes a medical examination every year, and it is said that hemangiomas were found in the liver in the process. He "My father died early of liver cancer. So, in the car that I was paying attention to, the doctor explained that 'If it grows more than 10 cm, it should be opened, so it's better to remove it when it reaches 6 cm.'"

However, his family was all in the United States at the time, and Kwon Sang-woo decided to operate alone, thinking it was a `no big deal.' "He showed me a picture after the surgery, and he took off the liver as much as the palm of his hand. Still, the doctor recalled the time, saying, `Kwon Sang-woo's liver is so big that even if he cuts 30%, the size of an ordinary person.'




He "I was hospitalized for quite a long time, but my family was abroad, so I spent a long time alone. I was very lonely."

After recovering, Kwon Sang-woo immediately started filming 'Hitman 2'. Lee Yi-kyung, who heard this for the first time, was surprised and praised him, saying "The fatigue must have been tremendous, but he poured out the same energy."

Meanwhile, the movie starring Kwon Sang-woo 'Hitman 2' is set to be released and will capture audiences with even more powerful action and comedy than its predecessor.
