[theqoo] NAM WOOHYUN "DETECTED A RARE TYPE OF CANCER IN APRIL AND UNDERGONE SURGERY...I COULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT THINKING ABOUT THE FANS"

Nam Woohyun carefully said, “Actually, I haven’t been feeling well lately,” and added, “I had a major surgery at the end of April and was under general anesthesia throughout it. The hospital said it was a rare type of cancer. Fans know I had surgery, but they don't know it was infact cancer. I couldn’t tell them because I was afraid they would worry,” he said.

Nam Woohyun revealed that he was diagnosed with GIST cancer early this year and underwent surgery. GIST cancer is a tumor that occurs in the digestive organs such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Unlike more common cancers, the tumor forms in the muscle layer.

Nam Woo-yun, whose condition deteriorated due to a sudden surgery, originally planned to make a comeback with a solo album in May, the period was delayed for recovery period. However, Nam Woo-hyun turned the crisis into an opportunity.

“As [my comeback] was already delayed, I became greedy to put out a full album instead with the songs I made. The fans were the biggest factor in making this decision. They must have waited so long. My condition hasn't fully recovered even now, but it will change once I go on stage. (laugh)"

Nam Woohyun said, “Now my fans are like ‘family’ to me. Hasn’t it already been 13 years since I debuted as a member of Infinite? Among the fans who come to the fan meeting, some have gone from students to office workers, and some have become mothers of their own families. When I see things like this, I feel like we have grown together. I feel like crying,” he said with a smile.

‘White Tree’ will be released on various music sites at 6 PM on the 28th.
