Park diagnosed with ‘incurable disease’ after only 1 year of marriage

Singer Park Goon was diagnosed with hearing loss, an ‘incurable disease.’

In the SBS entertainment show 'Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny', which aired on the 6th, Park was seen visiting the hospital due to a health warning.

Recently, Park underwent emergency surgery for a shoulder injury and a lumbar disc rupture. On this day, Park and Han Young appeared at the hospital, and Han Young said, “I thought all special forces soldiers were healthy, so how could a disc rupture?” Park also said, “I never thought in my entire life that I would rupture a lumbar disc.”

Park continued, “I was sick for 5 or 6 months. I had pain in my pelvis and numbness in the soles of my feet. I had an MRI because the pain continued. “They say if it had been a little later, paralysis could have occurred,” he said. “I also need surgery on my shoulder. A shoulder ligament tear is held together by muscles. “If I have surgery, I can’t work because the recovery period is more than two weeks,” he said.

But Park also had another illness. The reason the couple visited the hospital that day was for a hearing loss test. Park said to the doctor, “I didn’t wear earplugs when I shot. I couldn't hear anything like a mortar for 20 or 30 minutes. “After that, I started to hear tinnitus, and I still hear someone saying something, but I can’t tell,” he explained.

Park's eardrums were clean, but his auditory nerve function was weakened. Cochlear function test results were also particularly poor at high frequencies. The doctor said, “It is noise-induced hearing loss. He said, "My ears are damaged because I'm exposed to a lot of noise," and Park said, "That's why I can't match notes well." “During lessons, low notes are okay, but if you go to high notes,” he understood.

Above all, as a result of a detailed examination, the shocking conclusion was that ‘complete cure is impossible.’ The doctor said, “If hearing loss occurs, there is no drug treatment. The use of hearing aids may be recommended to prevent speech discrimination from becoming further impaired. He recommended the use of hearing aids, saying, “You can come once or twice a month and get adjustments, and if you feel uncomfortable, you can get comfortable after getting adjustments.”

Park said, “My heart sank when I heard the story about the hearing aid. I think I need to take good care of it to prevent it from getting worse.” Also, Park said he needed hair loss management. In response, Seo Jang-hoon joked, “I think Han Young was scammed.”

Han Young provided 24-hour close care for Park, who had difficulty moving due to lumbar disc surgery. Since Park could not bend his back, he asked Han Young to cut his toenails. Han Young cut Park’s toenails and even washed his hair. The studio MCs who were watching this reacted with laughter, saying, “A former special forces soldier became a baby after just one year of marriage.”

On this day, Park's aunts came to the house of Park and Han Young. Park also talked about his father. Park said, "My mother broke up with my father a long time ago, so he didn't live with me. About a month and a half before I got married, I got a call from the government office. They said my father was in critical condition and was hospitalized. I was so shocked that I had a mental breakdown, but my wife got down right away. “He said let’s go,” he said. “Two weeks after I met my father and got married, my father passed away. I was so grateful to my wife.”

Park then expressed his gratitude, saying, "I needed my father's love, but my father-in-law hugged me and bought me beef, saying I like meat. I am receiving the love from my father-in-law that I did not receive from my father."
