On June 13, Him Chan – former member of BAP – tried to commit suicide at his home. The 31-year-old artist’s extreme action took place on the same day he apologized to the audience for his bohemian personal life. Previously, Him Chan had to appear in court and was sentenced to 10 months in prison for allegedly abusing a 20-year-old girl at a motel (Gyeonggi Province) in 2018. The scandal of BAP surprised the fans of the group and also regretted the group. BAP debuted in the Korean entertainment industry with the album Warrior and Power in 2012. In February 2013, One Shot topped the Billboard World Albums chart. Subsequent songs like Bad Man and Hurricane all resonated. The group conducted the BAP Live On Earth tour from March to June 2014 in 20 cities. In the period 2012-2013, BAP is considered the top rival of EXO, with a large fan base in the world. At the end of 2014, BAP members sued TS Entertainment – the group’s management company – to cancel the exclusive artist contract. According to the evidence provided by the group, the management company unfairly distributed profits (ratio of 1 part artist, 9 part company) and did not provide enough living and performing conditions for the group. After a hiatus of about a year and renegotiating terms with the company, BAP returned to the music industry, but lost its original position. The group’s reputation “died without brakes”. In February 2019, the group’s 7-year contract period ended, all members left the company, and BAP also disbanded. Bang Yong Guk is the leader of BAP Yong Guk, known for his composing ability. He left the group and established his own company after his contract expired in 2018 (the male rapper’s contract was signed before the group). Yong Guk started his solo career with the autobiographical song “Hikikomori” and received a lot of love from the audience. In August 2019, the 31-year-old rapper performed his mandatory military service, and was just discharged in May. Jung Dae Hyun is one of the two main vocalists in the group. He has participated in musicals such as Napoleon or All Shock Up. The male singer signed a contract with STX Lion Heart Entertainment after leaving TS Entertainment. The 28-year-old artist released the solo song The Moment, All Things Will Pass (Sweet Munchies movie). Dae Hyun enlisted in the army in November 2020. Yoo Young Jae used to be a trainee under JYP Entertainment. He is the second main vocalist of BAP. After leaving TS Entertainment, Young Jae joined DMost Entertainment. In April 2019, he started his solo career with the mini-album “Fancy”. The 27-year-old artist also entered the acting field when participating in Mr. Queen and Police Academy. Moon Jong Up is currently under the management company Big Ocean ENM. In May 2020, he released the solo album Headache. Previously, the 26-year-old male singer collaborated with many artists in music products, such as Party Baby (ft Dae Hyun) or Fly Day. In December 2020, the old Jong Up participated in the musical movie Idol Recipe. Zelo has returned under A Entertainment after leaving the old management company. But he left A Entertainment after only 6 months, and is currently a freelance artist. In April 2020, the 25-year-old artist released the album “Day2Day” with the title song “She and Malibu” which was loved by the audience. So far, Zelo’s career has not prospered.

Asians and the Pacific islands have more liver cancer than people of other races. Liver cancer is more common in men than women.

Hepatitis B

Chronic hepatitis B is a major risk factor for developing liver cancer and is the leading cause of liver cancer in Africa and Asia. Research shows that people with chronic hepatitis B have a 100 times higher risk of developing liver cancer than people without the disease.

Hepatitis C virus

Hepatitis C is also a major risk factor for the development of liver cancer. When hepatitis C is detected and treated with antiviral drugs, the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer can be significantly reduced.

Liver cancer is a fairly common disease and has a low survival rate if it is not detected and treated promptly.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition similar to alcoholic liver disease, but leads to the accumulation of fat in the liver and the formation of fatty liver by a different mechanism. It is an autoimmune disease and may have a genetic predisposition. With NAFLD, the risk of liver cancer increases. Metabolic syndrome is closely related to NAFLD, which may also be a risk factor for liver cancer.

Immunosuppression

Immunosuppression increases the risk of liver cancer, as well as other cancers. Organ transplant recipients have a double risk of developing liver cancer compared to the general population, and the risk is even higher for those who have had a liver transplant. Being infected with HIV / AIDS is linked to a five-fold higher risk of developing liver cancer.

Systemic lupus erythematosus

The reason is not conclusively conclusive, but people with systemic lupus are twice as likely to develop liver cancer.

Diabetes mellitus

People with diabetes are at risk of developing liver cancer 2-3 times higher than the general population. It is of concern that the antidiabetic drug Glucophage (metformin) may reduce this risk.

Chemical exposure and occupational hazards

Exposure to certain chemicals has been linked to the development of liver cancer. One exposure that the community may experience is arsenic in well water. Occupational exposures are also of concern, including exposure to substances such as vinyl chloride (found in plastics), acrylamide, PFOA or perfluorooctanoic acid (found in dry cleaning methods), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), perfluorinated (PFC), benzo pyrene (BaP) and trichlorethylene.

Sclerosing cholangitis

Sclerosing cholangitis causes inflammation and scarring of the biliary tract, which causes bile to flow back into the liver. About 10-15% of people with sclerosing cholangitis develop biliary tract cancer.

Exposure to aflatoxin

This is an important risk factor in many countries. Aflatoxin B1 is a fungal toxin (of the genus Aspergillus) produced on foods such as wheat, peanuts, soybeans and corn. This toxin causes damage to the p53 gene in liver cells – a tumor suppressor gene that helps repair damaged DNA and inhibits the growth of harmful cells. Ongoing research is underway to investigate whether aflatoxin spontaneously causes liver cancer or is a cofactor when combined with hepatitis B disease.

Genetics

Liver cancer has a family inherited factor. If a relative has liver cancer, it will increase the risk of the disease. The risk is highest when a relative who is a parent or sibling has liver cancer.

Lifestyle risk factors

Lifestyle factors are very important in the development of liver cancer. These are risk factors you can adjust and control.

Long-term and excessive use of alcohol: Excessive alcohol use, over a long period of time, can cause a number of liver diseases, including alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease. Over time, cirrhosis develops with a marked scarring of the liver parenchyma and leads to liver failure. Liver cancer is mainly related to drinking more alcohol or drinking more than 3 drinks per day, although less intake can still cause liver disease and cannot be reversed. Acute alcohol intoxication, although not associated with liver cancer in the short term, may increase the risk of hepatitis B or C-related behaviors.

Tobacco smoke: Smoking is a risk factor for many cancers, and liver cancer is no exception. Several studies show a link between smoking and liver cancer, and people who smoke and drink a lot are at a significantly higher risk of developing the disease. Children born to parents who smoke before or during pregnancy are at risk for a rare type of liver cancer called hepatoblastoma.

Obesity: The role of obesity in liver cancer is not conclusive, but obesity increases the risk of developing non-alcoholic liver disease, and the condition quadruple the risk. muscle of liver cancer, as well as a 3-fold increase in risk of diabetes mellitus.

Use of anabolic steroids: Anabolic steroids are substances used by weightlifters and bodybuilders to build muscle, and are considered a risk factor for liver disease and liver cancer.

Other risk factors

There may be some radiation-related risk caused by X-rays. The schistosomiasis parasite is being studied for a possible role in liver cancer. Autoimmune hepatitis and gallstones are also risk factors for liver cancer in question.
