In further communication with netizens, when asked, “Did you really smoke?” he replied, “I did all sorts of things.” To the question, “Did you experience withdrawal symptoms?” he answered, “I ate a lot.”
On the same day, Kim Dong Wan added, “Yesterday, I thought, ‘Just one drink,’ but ended up finishing a 750ml bottle of whiskey. Recently, I’ve been making excuses to drink, often postponing or canceling appointments.

Netizens responded with comments like, “We support you,” “Just hang in there for a month or two,” “As you get older, it’s time to take care of your health,” and “At least try to cut back.”
