On TV Chosun "Kidentime2", which aired on the 19th, Hong Seung-taek, who suffered from terminal degenerative arthritis even at the young age of 49, was shown spending his rehabilitation process and daily life after surgery.

Hong Seung-taek appeared for the first time in the third episode, and even though he was young, he was unable to sleep at night due to knee pain and had severe deformation of his right leg, making it difficult to walk. As a result of the examination, the thigh and shin bones penetrated into each other, resulting in sinkholes in the joints and severe leg deformation, and it was so serious that if left in this state, it could not walk at all.

"Hong Seung-taek's condition at the time was that his bones were open on the outside and the inside was tightly attached. The reason why his leg shape was deformed was that his bones were completely melted after receiving steroid injections after ligaments or cartilage had been worn out."I wasn't able to walk well at the time, but if I left it as it was, it was so serious that I had to crawl when I went to the bathroom later that I needed artificial knee joint surgery."."



Hong, who decided to undergo surgery for his family and livelihood, underwent artificial joint surgery on both knees under the guidance of his doctor, Jin Ho-seon, head of the hospital. After completing both surgeries every week and going through a certain period of recovery, he started rehabilitation exercises, and this broadcast revealed how he was spending his daily life and progress a month after artificial joint surgery.

Hong, who received rehabilitation treatment hard after surgery, checked his physical condition and was discharged from the hospital. Hong, who was able to walk on his straight legs, carried out the bucket list he wanted to do when he was discharged from the hospital. Hong, who has never been able to see off her children due to severe leg deformities and hard walking, ordered her two daughters to leave school and the House of Representatives as soon as she was discharged. All the cast members in the studio were moved by the fact that the whole family went out to eat and were happy to find a normal and small daily life again.



In addition, Hong, who dreamed of becoming a baseball player as a child, visited the baseball practice range, and Jin Ho-seon, the head of the hospital, visited and enjoyed baseball games together, drank drinks, and talked about future health care.

Jin Ho-seon, the head of the hospital, said "It is important to maintain muscles after artificial joint surgery, but you have to work hard on your thigh muscles to use your knees for a long time."It is important to weigh as much as possible even when exercising weight, and you have to exercise with a weight that can lift you about 20 times to create muscles and not strain your knee joints."



Hong Seung-taek said, `It's like Jin-seon gave me a new bridge, but thank you so much and I'll take good care of it so that I can stay healthy for a long time.' `I'll work hard in the future to achieve my dream of traveling abroad with my family.'
