She had confessed of the matter in the past, but her illness was brought up again to attention, possibly because of the upcoming ‘Idol Star Athletics Championship‘.
Hyorin stated, “Now, I have a healthy image, but when I was born, I wasn’t healthy. I was born prematurely and during my mothers pregnancy, there was a fluid buildup in my abdomen (hydrops abdominis), I weighed 4.2 kg / 9.4 lbs (most of the weight from the fluid buildup) and I was in a incubator. My liver couldn’t produce bile and perform what it was supposed to do, so I developed the liver disease, biliary atresia. When I got surgery, my father was by my side the entire time and I received a blood transfusion. I had surgery for over 10 hours. After that, about a year later while I was recovering, I was rushed to the hospital for intussusception (When a part of intestine folds into another section of the intestine), and I had to receive open-stomach surgery twice. I don’t have a gall bladder anymore because of my surgeries.”
Biliary atresia is a serious disease that can kill children under the age of 2 if not treated immediately.
