In a heartfelt reunion, Shin Dong-yeob reminisced about his past drinking sessions with actor Kim Woo-bin, who has recently overcome significant health challenges.
In a new episode of his YouTube channel, "Jjanhanhyeong," Kim Woo-bin made a special appearance alongside Kim Sung-kyun, discussing their history and shared experiences. The two had previously acted together in the sitcom "Vampire Idol," and Dong-yeob warmly welcomed Woo-bin, expressing his excitement about seeing him again. Despite the joyful reunion, Woo-bin highlighted the serious health struggles he has faced, including a battle with nasopharyngeal cancer.
Although Woo-bin has returned to acting following his treatment and was recently seen in the drama "Our Blues," he opted for non-alcoholic beer during the recording instead of alcoholic beverages. Reflecting on his journey, Woo-bin revealed that he had completely abstained from alcohol during his five years of treatment, sharing that his first drink post-recovery was at a gathering with friends after the release of his film "Alien+Human." He now enjoys alcohol occasionally while traveling.

He shared his personal insight into the struggles of cancer treatment, having experienced it with his own mother. In response, Woo-bin emphasized his positive mindset, explaining that he focused on the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends during his treatment period.
Woo-bin further conveyed gratitude for the immense support and prayers he received, believing it played a key role in his recovery. He described how his health improvements astonished even the medical staff, remarking on the power of collective support. With a hopeful spirit, Woo-bin expressed his desire to pass on the goodwill he received to others, wishing for miracles to happen in more families.
