Chovy was found to have a serious illness requiring surgery, causing concern among fans.
For professional players, pursuing a long-term gaming career often entails sacrificing many things. It's not just the time invested in training and competing during youth, but also physical and mental health. Many young players suffer from severe bone and joint diseases or mental exhaustion due to irregular schedules and rest.
Recently, in a documentary segment by Gen.G, player Chovy revealed a surprising fact. According to Gen.G's Mid Laner, he visited the hospital for a health check-up after feeling worried about his well-being. Chovy said: 'I paid attention to my health so I went for a check-up, and even had an X-ray. The result showed that my spine is curved. I often have to adjust my posture and machine settings to sit comfortably. So sometimes people find my sitting posture quite strange.'
Spinal curvature disease is often easily contracted, especially for students, children who constantly have to bend their heads while studying, eating, and living. Moreover, people who are nearsighted or work with computers, without using appropriate desks and chairs, are also susceptible to this disease. It's not a life-threatening condition but it's dangerous and can lead to long-term complications.
Additionally, the disease affects the appearance and aesthetics of the patients. Particularly, it's difficult to treat this disease as patients often stick to their habitual activities and sometimes forget to adjust their posture appropriately. Sometimes, patients have to resort to surgical measures to address the root cause of the disease.
For a gamer like Chovy, this issue becomes even more serious. Many spectators, upon hearing the news, exclaimed that the former Mid Laner of Hanwha Life Esports has been 'bedridden' for too long, causing his backbone to no longer withstand the pressure. However, this is just a jest, and many fans have sent their wishes hoping that Chovy can recover from this illness.
As a professional athlete, the pressure on both mental and physical well-being is tremendously high. Before Chovy, illustrious players like Uzi and Nuguri have faltered and exited the professional stage due to a collapse in both physical and mental health. Fans of Gen.G and Chovy undoubtedly do not desire this fate for their idol, particularly when Chovy is at the most opportune age for career advancement.
