Comedian Jeon Yoo-seong’s current status has been revealed.
On the 22nd, a video titled ‘The reason why the godfather of comedy, Jeon Yoo-seong, looked at newcomer Kim Young-cheol’ was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Kim Young-cheol Original’.
The video shows Jeon Yoo-seong and Kim Young-cheol meeting in Namwon, Jeollabuk-do.
On this day, Kim Young-cheol began by saying, “He is someone who taught me a lot during my 26 years of activity, and in a way, he is a teacher, but I don’t call him teacher.”
Kim Young-cheol, who visited the cafe run by Jeon Yoo-seong, ordered coffee with 49 percent alcohol and explained that it was the store’s signature menu.
The employee who served ‘Jeon Yoo-seong Coffee’ said, “(Jeon Yoo-seong) created the menu without knowing how to stop drinking.”
However, Jeon Yoo-seong said that he no longer drinks alcohol.
Jeon Yoo-seong said, “I have not been able to escape the aftereffects of COVID-19 until now,” and “When food goes into my mouth, it all tastes sour, making it difficult to eat. “That’s why I don’t eat well,” he complained.
It is known that patients with ‘Long Covid’, a side effect of COVID-19 like Jeon Yoo-seong, mainly suffer from symptoms such as fatigue, poor concentration, and anxiety.
According to a paper published in the international academic journal Asia Pacific Allergy, at least 65 million people around the world are suffering from Long Covid.
If there are mild symptoms of COVID-19, the incidence of long Covid is only about 30%, but if there are moderate to severe symptoms, the probability of developing long Covid increases to 70%. The majority of Long Covid cases occurred in people aged 36 to 50.

Title: An Insightful Conversation on Comedy, Health, and Resilience
Interviewer (Time.news Editor): Welcome, Dr. Lee, an expert in chronic health conditions and the social impacts of comedy in our lives! Today, we’re diving deep into the world of comedy and its intersection with health, particularly in light of the recent revelations about comedian Jeon Yoo-seong. Let’s start with the heart of the matter—can you share your thoughts on Jeon Yoo-seong’s experience with Long Covid and its impact on his life?
Dr. Lee: Thank you for having me! Jeon Yoo-seong’s situation sheds light on a significant issue that many still face post-pandemic. Long Covid can manifest in various ways, including taste alterations, fatigue, and anxiety, which can profoundly affect daily life and professional engagements, especially in a field as vibrant and dynamic as comedy. His candidness about these struggles is important—it raises awareness that Long Covid is very real and can be debilitating.
Interviewer: Absolutely. It’s alarming to know that an estimated 65 million people globally are dealing with Long Covid. How does that figure resonate in the conversations surrounding health today?
Dr. Lee: That number is staggering. It emphasizes the need for ongoing research and support for those affected. In Jeon’s case, the lingering effects of COVID-19 have changed his relationship with food and potentially with humor as well. When an artist’s ability to perform is hindered, it’s not just a personal loss. It affects their audience and the broader cultural landscape too.
Interviewer: Speaking of the cultural landscape, Jeon’s interaction with the rising comedian Kim Young-cheol was framed in a mentor-mentee dynamic. Can you reflect on the role of mentorship within creative fields, especially when it comes to mental health and resilience?
Dr. Lee: Mentorship can be incredibly powerful. For someone like Kim Young-cheol, learning from Jeon—who has navigated the complexities of a comedy career for over 26 years—can provide valuable insights into coping mechanisms that foster resilience. This dynamic can create a positive feedback loop where wisdom is shared, and newer talents are encouraged to persevere despite personal challenges, which many in the arts are facing.
Interviewer: It’s interesting you mention coping mechanisms. Jeon Yoo-seong’s experience with changing dietary habits and alcohol consumption seems to indicate he’s finding new ways to navigate his life post-COVID. How essential is it for public figures to discuss their health struggles openly?
Dr. Lee: Extremely essential. Personal stories can destigmatize health problems and open up a dialog that many might be hesitant to have. When public figures like Jeon speak out about their struggles, it can encourage fans and peers alike to seek help, engage in conversations about mental health, and, ultimately, adapt healthier lifestyles. Awareness is the first step toward recovery.
Interviewer: On a lighter note, Jeon’s creation of an unconventional coffee drink with 49% alcohol certainly caught my attention! What role does humor play in the coping process for someone dealing with health issues?
Dr. Lee: Humor is a vital coping mechanism. It can serve as a form of relief for both the individual and their audience. By turning challenges into comedic moments, individuals like Jeon can not only find joy in their circumstances but also provide comfort to others who relate. It’s a reminder that despite hardships, laughter can be a powerful healer.
Interviewer: Indeed, laughter is often the best medicine. As we wrap up, what message do you think Jeon Yoo-seong’s story sends to both his peers and his fans during these challenging times?
Dr. Lee: His story communicates resilience in the face of adversity. It tells us that it’s okay to struggle and that vulnerability can lead to genuine strength. It encourages both artists and audiences to be empathetic and understanding, reminding everyone of the importance of supporting one another through life’s ups and downs.
Interviewer: Well said, Dr. Lee. Thank you for sharing your insights today! This conversation certainly highlights the interconnectedness of health and comedy in our lives.
Dr. Lee: Thank you! It was a pleasure discussing these important topics with you.
