Steve Jobs' Controversial Treatment Decision and Hidden Life Revealed on 'Celebrity Soldier's Secret'

On Tuesday, November 11th at 8:30 PM, KBS 2TV's 'Celebrity Soldier's Secret' will delve into the untold story of Steve Jobs, the icon of innovation, often called 'the Leonardo da Vinci of the 21st century'.

The episode will explore why the genius of the century refused surgery. In 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas, a relatively slow-growing cancer with a high survival rate. However, he famously rejected his doctors' recommendation for surgery, opting for an alternative approach for about nine months. The show questions the reasons behind this groundbreaking innovator's choice.

Jobs's obsession with perfection and control extended beyond his treatment. It's revealed he changed cars every six months to avoid the 'unsightly' license plates disrupting his vehicle's design. He also adhered to a strict fruitarian diet, believing it eliminated bodily toxins and odor, leading him to claim he didn't need to shower. Comedian Lee Chan-won humorously remarked, "Isn't he completely crazy?" eliciting laughter from the studio.

Actor Lee Sang-yeop made a special appearance, vividly portraying Steve Jobs. His performance, capturing Jobs's unique charisma that captivated employees, earned a standing ovation from the cast. Lee Nak-joon analyzed Jobs's "superpowers" as stemming from "self-belief, immersion, and the conviction to make the impossible possible." Jang Do-yeon wittily commented, "There's a fine line between a visionary and a con artist. Is it leadership or gaslighting?"

The broadcast will also uncover Jobs's post-surgery diet, where he consumed only colorful 'this' for 'body purification,' despite his deteriorating health. Lee Nak-joon warned that such habits are "fatal for cancer and diabetes."

Furthermore, the episode will highlight a 'technology' Jobs focused on in his final days, which unexpectedly influenced the future direction of modern medicine. This technology has advanced to a point where personal health information can be accessed affordably. The show cautions viewers about the dangers of making extreme choices based on personal beliefs versus scientific medical advice, emphasizing the importance of trusting professional diagnoses and treatments.

Netizens expressed intrigue, with comments like "Steve Jobs's story is always fascinating" and "It's a good reminder that even geniuses can make questionable choices about their health." Others praised actor Lee Sang-yeop's portrayal, saying "I heard he was amazing as Jobs."
