On the 23rd, a video titled 「Roh Hong-cheol」 was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Roh Hong-cheol'Halli of fear (Lee Si-young, Kwon Eun-bi sobbing)'. The video depicts Noh Hong-chul going on a trip to the Himalayas in Nepal with actor Lee Si-young and singer Kwon Eun-bi, who got close by appearing in the Netflix entertainment show 『Zombie Bus』 together.
Noh Hong-chul began climbing curiously, but expressed concern about his deteriorating health, saying, `I thought I was too easy.'
He then showed symptoms of sudden delirium from 3,200m above sea level, and then complained of additional symptoms such as drowsiness and nosebleeds, and eventually collapsed.
Noh Hong-cheol was transferred to base camp without being able to open his eyes due to altitude sickness. The trekking guide tells Noh Hong-chul who is lying in bed "You should drink hot water. He brought me ginger tea to help ease symptoms of altitude sickness, saying, "You have to drink it by force", but Noh Hong-chul barely answered, "I see" and couldn't move a finger.
Noh Hong-chul, whose condition improved five hours later, said "I lost my mind for a while. I woke up in the morning and walked, but my condition suddenly became bad. I kept eating something, and there was a lot of bloating in my stomach."
Then "It was 2.9km to the accommodation, but I don't remember." I was out of my mind and faint. I was rushed to bed afterwards"Someone came and rubbed my whole body, worried, and checked my condition. I didn't even have dinner" he recalled.
Although he has not recovered yet, the neat Noh Hong-chul tried to take a cold bath. He said "I told him not to wash up if he could. Especially, they told me not to wash my hair. He said he'd be in big trouble. It is said that the room temperature is so low that if your head is wet, the temperature can decrease and damage your brain. In extreme cases, you can die. I want to live long, so I won't wash my hair"I washed myself with ice-like water.
Eventually, symptoms of altitude sickness reappeared the next day. Lee Si-young told Noh Hong-chul, who was lying unconscious, that tracking guide Pamba said he shouldn't go up the mountain. I heard it got worse after taking a bath. Why did you take a bath. Did you take a cold bath? It's crazy."
Noh Hong-chul heard Lee Si-young's "I asked if he could ride a horse, and if he was in a bad condition, he could pass out while riding a horse". Don't feel guilty," he said, drawing laughter.
Noh Hong-chul, who barely regained his energy after drinking warm water, resumed climbing, saying he was only 4km away from the summit, but his hands turned white due to poor blood circulation. Judging that it was difficult to climb the mountain, he eventually went down on a horse.
Noh Hong-cheol "It's so interesting. I was out of my mind up there, but the lower the altitude, the better the speed, and my body is coming back. "I came down about 300 meters more because I heard that my body will get better if I go down further than the accommodation I stayed earlier."
Lee Si-young and Kwon Eun-bi succeeded in winning the title by overcoming altitude sickness. At the top, the two shed tears and were thrilled.
