On the 27th, YouTubers Um Sam-yong and Hyun-bae announced the recent status of Big Joe, who was broadcasting together.

In the video titled “I’m going to share the news of Big Joe who is in hospital today,” Samyong and Hyunbae said that Big Joe was breathing through a tube through his neck because his oxygen level was low due to heart failure and diabetes.

They said, “Currently, treatment is urgent because the oxygen level is low for heart failure and diabetes.”

He said, “I breathe using an oxygen respirator, but because of the lack of oxygen supply, I pierced my throat and connected it with a tube to breathe.”

“It was said that even if it was a little later, the doctor could not use any more hands. I will keep calling and tell you the progress.”

Earlier last month, Big Joe appeared on the YouTube channel’Choi Hong-cheol”s’Life of Gwanjong’ and revealed that the yo-yo phenomenon appeared after a diet, and the weight increased to 320 kg, causing many concerns.

At the time, in the video “Life of Gwanjong,” Big Joe visited a meat restaurant and ordered 10 servings of pork belly, and suddenly breathed out during a meal. Meanwhile, the chair that couldn’t hold Big Joe’s weight broke, and he went back without being able to control him.

When asked “Is it okay?”, Big Joe replied, “It hurts a little,” but he couldn’t get up easily. After that, Big Joe could barely get up with the support of others.

Afterwards, Big Joe said, “I will take care of my health more in the future,” and “I will try hard to show you a good image.”

Meanwhile, Big Joe debuted in 2008 with Holadang’s 1st album’Spotlight’. At the time, he drew attention with his weight of 250kg. Afterwards, Big Joe entered a diet with Drainer Sean Lee through a broadcast in 2013 and lost about 150kg, but suffered a yo-yo phenomenon and gained weight to 320kg.
