Singer choi sung-bong has fallen from 'Icon of Hope' to 'a fraud of a teenager'.
choi sung-bong appeared in the TVN audition program 'Korea Gad Talent' season 1 in 2011 and won the runner-up with his outstanding singing skills. It was called 'Paul Potts of Korea' and received much attention as a story that overcomes various adversities such as disadvantaged environment at the time. Since then, he has appeared in numerous events such as joint performances with Paul Potts as well as various broadcasts, and seemed to walk on a solid road.
Recently, however, he suddenly appeared in hospital clothes and confessed that he was diagnosed with colon cancer, prostate cancer, and thyroid cancer. In particular, he appeared on KBS1 'Morning Yard' and even seriously talked about his cancer. There was a lot of sad eyes around him, and many people cheered him up and participated in crowdfunding for album production, but all of this was a "red lie."
However, every time he did not give a clear position on his false cancer transparency suspicion, he turned his SNS account into private and cut off communication with the outside world. In addition, we deleted the information on the Sponsorship account that was posted in the profile introduction section, and canceled crowdfunding, which aimed at 1 billion.
The public's wonders have become even bigger, and the protests of those who demand clear explanations have been fiercely protested. SBS 'Any Way Y' side is 'Icon of Hope, becomes a fraud? "And his reality, which was released on the 22nd of last month, was shocking.
Not only that, but all of the drugs that choi sung-bong posted on SNS were prescribed by urology and otolaryngology, not for chemotherapy. In addition, the certificate issued by the NTU Hospital metro station released by the choi sung-bong did not match the classification code and the diagnosis name, and the NTU Hospital metro station, which he used as the subject of the medical certificate, also said, "It is not like our hospital style." Also, the revelations of acquaintances that choi sung-bong used the billion-dollar Sponsorship as a entertainment expense were lined up. According to an acquaintance, choi sung-bong spends nearly 10 million won once he plays. In addition, the former girlfriend of choi sung-bong appeared on the air, and his dating violence was raised, and the controversy was uncontrollably blown. The pure youth who was really impressed by the public was not here.
But despite a series of incidents, the appearance of choi sung-bong, who opened his mouth through broadcasting, was shameless. I was busy blaming others, not reflection, and I only repeated words that threatened my life with collateral, not recognition and apology. And after the broadcast, a week later, he admitted and apologized for false cancer through a medium. If he does not clarify the authenticity and is raised only by suspicion, the controversy has become false.
"We are not currently battling cancer, and we are telling that all of the diagnostic facts of thyroid cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, lung and liver and kidney metastasis except for depressive disease and post-traumatic stress disorder are false," he said. "I deeply apologize to all those who have believed and supported me for 10 years for the shock and disappointment caused by the 'false cancer battle'. I will live a life that reflects on the low place. "
According to the media, he is currently working at a local restaurant to return Sponsorship. However, it is not easy to return all of the large amount of Sponsorship as he said that his money was 65,480 won earlier. Nevertheless, he added, "Even if it takes some time, I will pay my life for the Sponsorship I received from you and live with my life of deceitful sins."
He was violent in the orphanage, escaped, sold gum, and overcame the past of his street life. He stood up as an icon of hope through 'Korea Gad Talent' and conveyed his deep impression to the whole people. But 10 years later, the modifier "Icon of Hope" disappears and is branded as a "scamster of the sacrifice" who earned Sponsorship with false tears, saying that he is cancerous.
