Actor Choi Bul-am has become the subject of renewed speculation about his health.
MBN’s current-affairs and documentary program “Special Scoop World” showed the daily life of actor Im Hyeon-sik. In the episode, Im met with actor Park Eun-su, who played Il-yongi 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, “It feels like the few senior figures we have left are 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 revived the rumors.
Choi was born in 1940 and is 85 this year.
