[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Comedian and singer Kim Cheolmin, who is battling terminal lung cancer, revealed his health condition after taking the dog dewormer 'Fenbendazole.'
Kim Cheolmin appeared on TV Chosun's 'Exploratory Report Seven' broadcast on the 17th. During the broadcast, he disclosed the results of computed tomography (CT) scans comparing before and after taking Fenbendazole.
Regarding this, Kim said, "My voice has returned, and my stamina has come back," adding, "I can't run, but I can walk fast."
He continued, "If you or your family or someone close to you were diagnosed with terminal cancer, do you think you wouldn't take (Fenbendazole)?" He explained, "Chemotherapy is more toxic. When something better comes out while undergoing chemotherapy, you have no choice but to look at it. That's why I am taking Fenbendazole."
A radiology specialist who reviewed his CT scans said, "The lung cancer in the lungs has definitely decreased compared to the beginning," but also judged, "It cannot be concluded that this change is due to the effect of Fenbendazole."
The specialist pointed out, "Kim Cheolmin is also undergoing chemotherapy," and added, "General doctors would see this as an effect of chemotherapy, which is more reasonable."
Kim Cheolmin first revealed that he was taking Fenbendazole in August last year. About four months later, in December, he shared test results showing that tumor marker levels had decreased by about 200 after taking Fenbendazole.
