Lee Je Hoon is recovering from emergency surgery.
On October 2, the actor’s agency COMPANY ON revealed, “Lee Je Hoon went to the hospital on the night of [October] 1 due to severe abdominal pain, and he was diagnosed with ischemic colitis. He received emergency surgery early on [October] 2.”
The agency continued, “Thankfully the surgery was successful, and he is currently recovering at the hospital. We will have to watch the progress of his recovery, but he will probably have to hospitalized for about a week.”
