Lee Sang-mi‘s glomerular tumor surgery “Invaded the bone, so painful it felt like it was going to be cut off” [DA★]

Singer Lee Sang-mi confessed to having a glomerular tumor and shared news of her surgery.

On the 24th, Lee Sang-mi posted a photo of herself wearing a patient gown on her Instagram and said, “I’m going to have the surgery that I‘ve been putting off for 15 years soon.”.

She confessed, “Even the tip of my left hand would hurt when it was just brushed against, and if I bumped into it wrong, it really felt like my hand would be cut off, but I just ignored it and forgot about it. That’s been going on for 15 years. There was a tumor under the root of my fingernail. Foolishly, I just found out that it was a glomerular tumor.”.

Lee Sang-mi said, “The professor in charge told me that he had never seen a patient who had waited this long, and that the tumor had grown too much. He gave me the good news that although it had invaded the bone, fortunately, I wouldn‘t need a bone graft. Thank you,“ he confessed.

He said that he had been hospitalized the day before and was scheduled to have surgery that afternoon and said, ”I’ve been fasting since last night so I‘m really hungry. I’ll finish this quickly and come back. If you‘re sick, please go to the hospital as soon as possible. Especially, if you have pain under your fingernails, an X-ray will come out right away.“ He also complained, ”The reason I’m posting this because I‘m sick is because I want to be comforted. I’m even more nervous because my husband is taking care of the child and I‘m hospitalized in Seoul alone without a guardian.“

Meanwhile, Lee Sang-mi, a former vocalist for the band EX, won the grand prize at the 2005 MBC ‘University Song Festival’ with her self-composed song ‘Please Take Care of Me’. Since then, she has appeared in various programs such as the educational information program ‘Live Information Center’, the sitcom ‘Rainbow Romance’, and the radio show ‘Lee Sang-mi’s Love Shake’. After dating a non-celebrity four years younger than him for three years, he remarried in November 2019 and had a daughter in April of the following year.
