EXO Chen Deeply Regrets Getting This Irreversible Surgery Done
EXO recently made an appearance on the hit variety show “Knowing Brothers” as six members to promote their most recent hit comeback.
During a segment of the show, guests take a turn trying to get the rest of the cast to guess what they meant by a certain sentence, Chen’s turn was up and he confessed that he hated getting this done.
The MCs took turns trying to guess, eventually, Heechul guessed it correctly; he guessed that he had gotten his lingual frenulum cut. Lingual frenulum is a fold of mucous membrane that’s located under the center portion of your tongue, you can see it if you raise your tongue looking in the mirror.
Chen explained,
“When I was young, I thought my pronunciation was hard, so I guess I was feeling it. I went to do that procedure, so surgery is scary. I asked him (the doctor) ‘what kind of surgery is that?’ he said people do it on their lunch breaks at work and leave.
They said I didn’t have to worry about it. But after the surgery was done, I felt extreme pain after the anesthesia wore off.
The pain of biting on my tongue continued for three days. My tongue kept swelling as time went by, I couldn’t eat properly. I couldn’t even swallow saliva, so I went to the hospital again; I took medicine and got better.”
He says he regrets it because he later found out that it doesn’t affect singing much.
