Lee Kyung-kyu, who nearly died from a sudden myocardial infarction, is facing another crisis with his coronary artery.

During the recording of SBS‘s ‘Amazing Habits’ to be aired at 8:35 AM on the 15th, Lee Kyung-kyu glanced at the orthopedic surgeon and the thoracic surgeon and predicted, “Today, we’ll be talking about bones and blood vessels at the same time, right?”.

Lee Yoon-ah then couldn‘t hide her admiration, saying, “Now, you can tell what the topic of the day is just by looking at the doctors.” At this, Lee Kyung-kyu, his shoulders tense, said, “These days, I’m practically working as a doctor, except I don‘t do treatment,“ expressing his pride as an MC for a health program.

How much calcium does Lee Kyung-kyu really eat? The production team secretly revealed a picture of the meal that Lee Kyung-kyu actually ate, and Lee Kyung-kyu was shocked by the sudden reveal, saying, ”Who stole that?“ and Lee Yoon-ah clapped her hands and said, ”Ye-rim’s mother is amazing“ at the neatly laid out meal. At that, Lee Kyung-kyu shouted and retorted, ”What‘s so amazing! There’s nothing like that.“

Undaunted, Lee Yoon-ah said, ”Do you know how hard it is to grill fish?“ and said, ”I hope Ye-rim recognizes her mother‘s hard work,“ but Lee Kyung-kyu grumbled, ”Fish? That comes in a pack, so you can just put it in the microwave,“ making everyone laugh. After examining the dining table, it was revealed that Lee Kyung-kyu, who barely ate rice and light meals to manage his diabetes, was eating far more calcium than the recommended daily amount, which was surprising.

In addition, the broadcast that day looked into the risk that calcium that has leaked out of the bones can cause calcification throughout the body and block the blood vessels. Accordingly, Lee Kyung-kyu underwent a coronary artery calcification CT scan, which can identify calcium accumulated in the blood vessels and thus check the state of his cardiovascular system. The test results showed that Lee Kyung-kyu had a fairly large amount of white calcium accumulated in his coronary arteries, and his ‘coronary artery calcification CT index’, which is a score representing this, was a whopping 219 points, which is moderate.

Lee Kyung-kyu hung his head in shock at the test results. When his amazing habits and various diseases were revealed, he let out a long sigh, saying, “People are so kind to me these days.” Is Lee Kyung-kyu’s coronary artery intact? The reason why calcium in Lee Kyung-kyu‘s coronary artery cannot return to the bone but accumulates in the blood vessels will be revealed through the original broadcast.
