What is acute liver failure?
Acute liver failure is a condition in which one’s liver function is lost in a matter of days or weeks. It frequently affects patients who have no previous history of liver illness. A hepatitis virus or medicines like acetaminophen are the most prevalent causes of the condition. American author Truman Capote, Mexican actress Dolores del Ro, and Velvet Underground lead singer Lou Reed are among those who have succumbed to this illness.
Golden Child’s fan sites turned to social media shortly after the news came to report that TAG, whose true name is Son Young-taek, is in need of a liver transplant, and that the idol’s blood type is RH+ O. Several supporters even offered their own livers in support of their hero. Many followers of both the idol and Golden Child breathed a sigh of relief after the clarification and wished the rapper a speedy recovery for the idol. Many people were angry over the erroneous claims that had been spread in the first place.
it was evil for people to write an article and play with people heart who care so much for the idol

I am a second-year journalism student from the school of Mass Communication at KIIT Deemed University, Bhubaneswar. Since I'm pursuing journalism, writing and getting published is my dream job. Due to the fact that my subject's studies are based entirely on my research work and sources, I am able to write informative articles. New writers are worried that the story has been told already, well, it has been, but not by you.
