He subsequently developedpneumothorax from a broken rib piercing his lungs and remained in a coma for four days.[99][100]
The doctor treating Kyuhyun at the time said that in order to repair Kyuhyun's pierced lungs he would have topierce a hole into his neck, thus ending his career as a singer. Kyuhyun's father, who once vehemently opposed his son's career, was the first to immediately reject the operation, stating that Kyuhyun would rather die than not be able to sing.
