Bae Yong Joon Out Of Hospital
When we read about our favourite South actor Bae Yong Joon being hospitalized, it reminded us of SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong, who fainted several times this year alone, due to overwork and stress. But we’re sure glad to hear he’s now out of the hospital!
POPULAR South Korean actor Bae Yong Joon was discharged from a hospital on Monday after five days of treatment.
The 37-year-old was hospitalised for septicemia caused by extreme fatigue and stress, reported Yonhap news agency.
Bae’s management agency said he was admitted to a Seoul hospital on Thursday after his blood pressure and blood sugar levels fell sharply. Tests showed him to be suffering from early stages of septicemia.
Said an agency official: ‘Bae has lost a lot weight and appears to have grown weaker after working hard over the past year on a book that looks into the issue of Korean aesthetics.’
On Tuesday, the actor will attend an event to promote the publication of his book at the National Museum of Korea. He will also be present at promotional events for an animation version of Winter Sonata and his book in Tokyo from Sept 29-30.
