TV personality Kim Jong-kook revealed that he had been suffering from vestibular neuritis.
In an episode of the SBS Plus and MBN variety show "The Manly Travel Guide in Manado," broadcast on the 10th, local gym workout scenes featuring Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Jong-kook, and Ahn Jae-hyun were revealed.
Kim Jong-kook, who began his workout with a happy smile while looking at the densely packed equipment, shared that he had once experienced severe dizziness due to vestibular neuritis in the past, surprising everyone.
Vestibular neuritis is a condition in which inflammation occurs in the vestibular nerve, which is responsible for the body's balance, causing sudden damage to balance function. It is characterized by severe dizziness, nausea, and vomiting symptoms, making it difficult to maintain balance. It is known to be primarily caused by viral infections.
At the time, Kim Jong-kook recalled that due to severe dizziness, he was unable to properly eat food or drink water for two days, and even driving was difficult.
Subsequently, Kim Jong-kook announced that his condition had improved after making changes to his lifestyle habits. He also revealed his plan to resume boxing, which he had previously stopped.
Kim Jong-kook held a secret wedding with a non-celebrity woman on September 5 last year. He is currently appearing on SBS's "Running Man," KBS2's "The Problematic Kids in the Attic Room," and SBS Plus and MBN's "The Manly Travel Guide."
