Actor Choi Bul-am has become the subject of renewed rumors about his health.
On the 19th, MBN’s current-affairs and documentary program “Special Scoop World” aired a look at actor Im Hyun-sik’s daily life. In the episode, Im met with actor Park Eun-su, who played Il-yong in the MBC drama “Country Diaries,” and the two talked.
Park expressed concern about Im’s condition, saying, “If you live alone, you at least have to be healthy.”
He added, “The few senior people we have left, it feels like they’re all about to pass away,” and said, “Right now, senior Choi Bul-am isn’t doing well, and the seniors’ health isn’t good.”
Park’s specific mention of Choi drew attention. Choi stepped down last year from KBS 1TV’s current-affairs and documentary program “Korean Table,” which he had hosted for 14 years. At the time, KBS said it was “not due to (Choi’s) health,” but Park’s remarks have brought the rumors back.
Choi was born in 1940 and is 85 this year.
