‘Convenience Store Restaurant’ to be broadcast on the 20th

KBS 2TV ‘New Release Convenience Store Restaurant’

‘Convenience Store Restaurant’ Nam Yoon-soo reveals the reason why he had to have a kidney transplant surgery on his father.

On the KBS 2TV show ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’) airing on the afternoon of the 20th, the heartwarming story of Nam Yoon-soo, who is full of filial piety, will be revealed. Nam Yoon-soo recently became a hot topic when it was revealed to the public that he had given his father a kidney transplant. The story that allows a glimpse into the true angelic heart of ‘Smiling Angel’ Nam Yoon-soo is expected to warm the hearts of viewers on Friday evening.

In the VCR released that day, Nam Yoon-soo appeared at a general hospital with a serious expression. It turned out that Nam Yoon-soo had come for a checkup a month after his kidney transplant surgery to check on the status of his surgery. Nam Yoon-soo gave one to his father and thoroughly examined his remaining kidney to see if it was functioning well and whether there were any aftereffects of the surgery. He also gave a lunch box that he made himself to express his gratitude to the attending doctors, nurses, and organ transplant coordinators who helped him with their sincerity during the difficult surgery.

Nam Yoon-soo confessed, “One day, I found out that my father had stage 5 end-stage renal failure.” Stage 5 end-stage renal failure is a serious condition where the kidneys have decreased to about 15% of their normal function. Nam Yoon-soo recalled, “My father’s condition was serious. When he went into hypoglycemic shock, he would lose consciousness, and on the day we were supposed to meet at the hospital for a checkup, he suddenly lost contact. I also heard that (in my father’s case) the 10-year survival rate was only 25%.” His father’s health was critical.

Nam Yoon-soo decided to get a kidney transplant surgery without hesitation despite his father’s dissuasion. Nam Yoon-soo said, “I don’t think I did anything big, I just did something that was obvious.” He continued, “My father said I couldn’t do it because my job is an actor, but I said I would do it anyway. I personally contacted and found out about all the hospitals that could do a kidney transplant and went through with it.”

All of the ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’ family members were deeply moved by Nam Yoon-soo’s utmost filial piety, saying, “He’s amazing.” The medical staff who watched him closely were also impressed. The attending physician who performed Nam Yoon-soo’s surgery said, “When (Nam Yoon-soo) was losing consciousness while being anesthetized before the surgery, his last words were, ‘Please take care of my father.’ After saying those words, he shed a single tear and the anesthesia went away. I thought he was truly a filial son. He really has a lot of fans at the hospital.”

‘Newly Launched Convenience Store Restaurant’, where you can check out everything from Nam Yoon-soo’s current health, his father’s health, to Nam Yoon-soo’s filial piety that touched everyone, will air on the 20th at 8:30 PM.
