Last January, Chinese online IT media revealed the man’s current status. In 2011, this man went to a hospital that trafficked organs without his family’s knowledge and removed a kidney in order to purchase an iPhone 4. The king, who was 17 years old at the time, was 190cm tall and weighed 81kg and was in very good health.
However, after having his kidney removed, Wang’s kidney function weakened rapidly and he has been receiving hemodialysis at the hospital. In particular, the family is said to be experiencing financial difficulties due to Wang’s hospital treatment costs and dialysis costs.
Other Chinese media reported that because Wang Kun was not properly disinfected during surgery, symptoms of infection appeared at the surgical site and he eventually became physically disabled.
“When I first picked up the iPhone, I thought the decision to sell one of my two kidneys was quite an ‘extra business.’ But later, I realized how foolish it was,” he said. “It was a black market hospital and a trafficking organization.” “I received a settlement from others, but I have been spending much more on hospital bills than that,” he said.
Wang’s story became a big issue eight years ago when it was highlighted as an ‘organ trafficking organization case’ through the Chinese media. Afterwards, Chinese authorities conducted a large-scale investigation into the hospital where he received the transplant, brokers, and organ trafficking organizations.
It is known that the trafficking group removed Wang’s kidney, paid 22,000 yuan, and then sold the organ to an overseas transplant patient for 300,000 yuan (about 50 million won).
In 2015-2016, the case of two young men who sold their kidneys to purchase the new iPhone 6 was revealed to the media.
