It has been confirmed that Kangin, a member of the group Super Junior, rescued comedian Lee Jin-ho, who collapsed due to a brain hemorrhage, through swift action. Kangin’s quick judgment of the situation is being credited with playing a decisive role in what could have otherwise turned into a serious loss of life.

■ Responded immediately when the call was cut off… life-saving emergency report

According to the broadcast industry on the 14th, the incident occurred on the 1st. At the time, Kangin was on a phone call with Lee Jin-ho when the connection suddenly cut off. He then detected something was wrong. After that, Kangin tried to redial several times, but when there was no response, he instinctively realized something was amiss and requested an emergency rescue from 119 without delay.

When the paramedic crew arrived on the scene after receiving the report, Lee Jin-ho had lost consciousness and collapsed due to symptoms of an acute brain hemorrhage. Medical staff said that thanks to Kangin’s prompt emergency report, the patient could be transported immediately to a nearby major hospital, allowing them to secure the so-called “golden time” to minimize brain damage.

A close associate of Lee Jin-ho said, “We’ve passed the dangerous turning point. He is currently resting steadily in the general ward and continuing treatment,” adding, “He’s showing gradual improvement, but for the time being, he still needs absolute rest and regular checkups.”
