Nam Yoon Su was a guest star on Park Na Rae's YouTube channel "Naraesik" on February 19, 2025. On that occasion, the actor born in 1997 revealed his reasons for volunteering to donate a kidney to his father.
The preview of the episode shows Na Rae asking Yoon Su what makes him happiest these days. The actor replies, "I enjoy filming and everything makes me happy. I'm not worried." Yoon Su then revealed that his father had been sick, which made it difficult for him to focus during filming. "Before, my father was sick.
That's what I focused on during filming," said the actor. "I started filming the drama 'Love in the Big City' in November, and that's when I heard that my father was sick. I thought he had been sick since the summer," said Yoon Su, revealing that his father had kept the illness a secret from him.
After learning that his father was seriously ill, Yoon Su offered to donate his kidney. The actor underwent a kidney transplant in June 2024. At that time, Yoon Su stopped all activities completely to focus on preparing for the transplant. Hearing this, Na Rae asked if Yoon Su had any other brothers who could donate a kidney besides himself.
"Since you have three brothers, wouldn't any of them be able to do it?" Na Rae asked. Yoon Su then revealed the reason why he volunteered to do the sweet act. "They could have done it, but since I live a somewhat better life financially, I thought it would be better for me to do it," he replied.
Yoon Su then said, "In the drama, the mother falls ill in episodes 3 and 4. While filming those scenes, I didn't have to try to immerse myself in the emotions. The feelings came out naturally because I already knew the emotions." Next, Na Rae asked how Yoon Su is doing now, after donating a kidney to his father.
"(My condition is) Very good. I think I'm the type of person who doesn't get tired easily when working," answered the star of the drama "Dog Knows Everything". Meanwhile, the hospital that performed the transplant revealed Yoon Su's good attitude during the donation process.
"Nam Yoon Su's bright smile and kind heart that always shows a bright and positive attitude have brought good results," said the hospital. "We pray that he (Yoon Su) will grow into a great star who will have a good influence on our society in the future," the hospital added. They also posted a photo of Yoon Su with the nurses.
