Kim Song jokes about 'exorcism ritual' during sedation

Singer Kim Song shared a witty update on her recent cosmetic procedure, maintaining her signature sense of humor. Ahead of the sedation, she attempted to stay conscious by counting aloud, but her body reacted faster than expected, leading to a hilarious moment. She also highlighted her long-standing relationship with the medical team managing her care, showcasing her consistent approach to self-care.

On the 24th, Kim posted a video on her SNS ahead of the procedure, captioned, "The current trend: holding out during sedation. I'm confidently taking on the challenge way.""

In the video, Kim was preparing for sedation with her face disinfected. She tried to maintain consciousness by counting, but she soon began to move uncontrollably, describing her state as, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6... suddenly an exorcism ritual begins." She added a humorous note regarding her reaction to the anesthesia: "For your information, I don't drink or smoke at all. But my reaction is like a third round of company dinners.""

Kim also introduced her long-standing connection with the medical team. Expressing her trust, she noted, "He has been the director in charge of my face for 28 years since 1999." She explained that she received thread lifting for the first time in a year and supplemented a small amount of fat in her sunken eyelid area. She added that she also received skin care treatments following exposure to strong sunlight in Hawaii, noting that all procedures were conducted at her own expense rather than through sponsorship.

What draws attention to Kim's recent update is her attitude toward long-term self-management rather than just physical appearance. While celebrity cosmetic procedures often focus on the results, Kim shared the process as a part of her private life, adding humor to the experience. Her tendency to caricature the tension of anesthesia aligns with how she has long communicated with the public via SNS.

Previously, Kim shared glimpses of her healthy lifestyle, such as relaxing at an outdoor swimming pool while vacationing in Hawaii last month. This recent procedure is seen as an extension of that ongoing commitment to rest and self-care.

Recent health news regarding her husband, Kang Won-rae, also drew public attention. Kang caused concern last month when he revealed he had developed pressure sores, but he later announced his recovery, saying, "The wound has all healed. Thank you for the support." Kim expressed her affection and concern for her husband, commenting on his post, "Don't let your guard down, always be careful.""

The marriage of Kim and Kang has endured since Kang was diagnosed with lower-body paralysis following a motorcycle accident in 2000. The couple married in 2003 and had a son in 2014. Despite using a wheelchair, Kang has remained active in singing, broadcasting, and lecturing.

The lives of Kang, who suffered the accident during his heyday with Clon, and Kim, who has remained by his side, have sparked public interest in themes of disability, family, and marriage. Through various broadcasts, the two have spoken candidly about their lifestyle changes and their journey of adapting as a family.

Kim has long shared her family's daily life through broadcasting and SNS. Rather than portraying her husband's health issues or her own life in a tragic light, she frequently uses humor and jokes to share her updates.

By comparing her reaction to sedation to an "exorcism ritual," Kim once again chose to show the reality of her private life through a humorous lens. Amidst a marriage spanning over 20 years and a decades-long relationship with her medical staff, Kim continues to document her life and self-care in her own unique way.
