Singer Lee Jeong Credits Wife With Early Kidney Cancer Detection

September 26, 2026 Dr. Michael Lee – Health Editor Health

Singer Lee Jeong revealed that early detection of his kidney cancer was directly attributable to his wife, who urged him to undergo an abdominal computed tomography scan. Speaking on the 'Miss & Mister Trot' YouTube channel on the 26th, the artist discussed how the diagnosis intersected with a period of severe business failure, financial debt, and health challenges.

  • Early detection of Lee Jeong's kidney cancer occurred after his wife recommended an abdominal CT scan.
  • The singer previously disclosed the diagnosis and subsequent recovery on MBC's 'Radio Star' prior to the YouTube appearance.
  • Lee addressed the intersection of his medical diagnosis with major financial losses following the closure of a coffee-selling studio business impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Clinical Background and the Diagnosis Timeline

According to statements made by Lee during his appearance on MBC's 'Radio Star' and reiterated in the release on the 26th, the diagnosis emerged from an abdominal CT scan initiated at his wife's suggestion. Lee noted that without marriage and his wife's prompt, the condition would have remained undetected. Following successful treatment, he reported maintaining regular health oversight.

Intersection of Health Stressors and Business Loss

During the 'Band Live' segment published on the 'Miss & Mister Trot' channel, Lee detailed the compounded difficulties of managing a business during the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating a coffee-selling studio that faced pandemic-related restrictions shortly after opening, he maintained operations for an additional year and a half after the pandemic ended before closing with bank debts. Lee characterized the period as one involving simultaneous health struggles and financial setbacks, describing the psychological impact of acquiring medical conditions alongside business debt.

Reflections on Personal Resilience and Family Support

Despite the closure of the business and the accumulation of liabilities, Lee framed the experience around his relationship with his wife, whom he married in 2018. Recalling their rapid timeline, he noted that they registered their marriage after one month of dating, after he brought her to meet her mother and proposed living together to establish certainty. Lee currently maintains active performance schedules under the alternate persona trot singer Cheon Rok-dam.
