chanyeol and the evolution of his personality after his surgery: a side that i think no one talked about before | a very interesting thread

chanyeol had ganglion cysts aggregation in his vocal cords that used to cause his voice hoarseness and weakness; usually singers who suffer from this disease don't resort to surgery because its very dangerous so they only do vocal exercises to reduce its impact

he tried to treat it with medicines but it was getting worse after 2 months so he decided to do a surgery, it needed him almost 3 months to improve but he improved within a month and attended SCs showcase, he was pleased with the improvement in his voice

the surgery is so difficult and cy risked his future as a singer who could lose all these advantages; he wasn't able to speak for months but he didnt leave n used to go to the recording studio everyday n try to communicate by gesture or write on kkt (he mentioned this SC's debut)

cy had a difficult time after the surgery bc he's known to be a person who loves to express, he felt that he lived a life tough on himself: "bc of my impulsivity n without looking back, at the time i stopped i found myself exhausted, what am i living for?"

an interviewer asked him why he cried here, he said: " before i thought i should always show my ideal side when i face a prb i try to solve it faster instead of taking care of my health but now i work hard to embrace the person im i changed for the better"

after the surgery cy used to not meet his friends n to sit all the time at home; ksoo used to visit him, take care of him n spend their time playing video games. cy mentioned that he was very grateful to ksoo bc he kept visiting him even after his recovery

he used to go near to the Han river to play basketball when he feels bored, so from here his passion for this sport began and he started playing with his team

after the surgery, cy decided to change his personality bc he was tough on himself, decided to to not consume his feelings n started letting things walk as they're bc he saw that he'd reach a good result, also he read the Talmud book that helped him a lot in developping himself

after that, cy bought a building (700M ₩) and decided to invest his money on something that would benefit him, he mentioned that this thing made him comfortable and very assured about his future: he has become one of the richest investor celebrities

cy is an ENFJ which means a supportive hero who always supports those whom he loves; he by nature very generous and loves to support everyone with all that he can; the exos even mentioned that he bought each of them a laptop so they can play games together
