We apologize for any concerns.
I sometimes felt pain in my chest and throat during exercise or during live shows, so I was trying to find the cause.
I’m still able to live without any pain in normal times.
We were able to discover this before myocardial infarction, so if you feel any discomfort in your body, go to the hospital right away!
I will focus on my treatment and come back to my health!
