She was featured as one of the guests in the KBS health program “Vitamin” on Wednesday.

Dasom, 23, was the youngest to appear in that episode of the show. She told the panel that she had two cysts in her kidney.

A health specialist on the show said, “Dasom needs to check her kidneys regularly to make sure that the cysts do not cause a disease.”

“I wasn’t worried at all about my health since I am young. So I was initially very surprised when the doctor told me about the cysts,” Dasom said.
