Kim Ji-seok Reveals Past Brain Tumor Discovery During Health Checkup

Actor Kim Ji-seok recently shared a personal health revelation on his YouTube channel. In a video titled ‘(My Money, My Experience) Premium Health Checkup Experience | Scans, Endoscopy, and Male Hormones,’ uploaded on May 17, he disclosed that he had a brain tumor detected during a health examination ten years ago when he was in his 30s. Fortunately, the tumor was benign. Since then, Kim has emphasized the importance of regular health checkups, stating he undergoes them every 2 to 3 years. He described his latest premium health checkup as a birthday gift to himself as he enters his mid-40s, noting that it was slightly more expensive than standard hospital visits. Reflecting on his last checkup from 2 to 3 years ago, he mentioned that although he was 44 years old, his health age was assessed at 48, expressing concern about aging. However, the results showed that his body composition, blood pressure, and diabetes levels were all normal. Notably, his male hormone levels were significantly high, prompting the doctor to inquire if he was undergoing hormone therapy. Kim, who pays special attention to his male hormone health, expressed satisfaction with his regimen of dietary supplements.
