Kim Jae-wook said, "A few years ago, I went for a check-up and found out I had angina, so I received a health examination after a long time. Today, I had a contrast agent injected, undergoing a vascular CT scan and echocardiogram."

As soon as my test was finished, I rushed to my sister to check the results together," cautiously sharing the situation.
