Park Ji-yeon to Undergo Kidney Transplant with Brother as Donor

Park Ji-yeon, the wife of comedian Lee Soo-geun and a social media influencer, is set to undergo a kidney transplant this month. According to reports from OSEN on July 2, her brother will be the donor and is currently undergoing detailed medical examinations ahead of the surgery.
Park Ji-yeon married Lee Soo-geun in 2008 and they have two sons together. During her second pregnancy in 2011, she suffered from pregnancy-induced hypertension, which led to kidney complications, necessitating a transplant from her father. Unfortunately, her recovery was not as successful as hoped, and she has been on dialysis since then. In 2021, medical professionals recommended that she consider a second transplant.
Reflecting on this decision, Park Ji-yeon shared on her Instagram, "I was advised to consider another transplant since I am still young, but I firmly said 'no' because I struggled so much during the first surgery. However, hearing that medical advancements have improved over the past ten years made me think a lot."
She continued, "They say ten years can change a lot, so I wonder if my life can change too. Visiting the hospital is tough for me, but it’s even harder for my family. I am truly grateful for my husband, Lee Soo-geun, who supports me with understanding and paints a hopeful future for us."
