Lee Bong-joo, who is battling an incurable disease, delivered a healthy update.

In the twin party segment of KBS 1TV 'Morning Madang', which aired on the 14th, Lee Bong-ju appeared with trumpets.

On this day, Lee Bong-ju "Did you worry a lot about your health?" After four years, I'm back in front of you in good health,' he said, getting up from his seat and greeting him in good health. He then said "My marathon record is 2 hours 7 minutes 20 seconds, but it hasn't been broken in 24 years. He expressed his determination, saying, `I'm trying to drive that momentum and even win the 'double party'.'




Lee Bong-ju, who was diagnosed with a incurable disease called 'muscular tension abnormalities' in 2021, felt sorry for his deteriorating health to the extent that he was in a wheelchair with his head bent at 90 degrees and his back bent.

Regarding his current health status, Bong-joo Lee said, `Didn't you see him running in earlier. I'm so much better now. "I had a disease called muscular tautism in 2020 and suffered a lot for four years. I couldn't even walk on my own and had to rely on a cane. I move in a wheelchair, and I can't move without my wife all the time. So I always leaned on my wife's shoulders and moved" he said. He went on to "It's much better now. Last year, I completed 5km in four years," he said with a big smile.

"When I was sick, I was desperate to run with my body even for 30 minutes, but now I climb and run for an hour or two every morning. It's gotten so much better."
