Lee Kyun, a former member of the group UP who is enjoying a second peak as a coffee businessman in Vietnam, has undergone surgery due to an unexpected injury. The incident, known to have occurred while considering others, adds to the regret.
On the 25th, Lee Kyun shared an update on his social media, revealing that he had completed surgery for an acromioclavicular joint dislocation. He expressed his feelings of "really unbelievable" and shared a photo of himself recovering in the hospital, raising concerns among his fans.
According to the disclosed information, this injury stemmed from an accident caused by Lee Kyun's consideration for others. He explained the embarrassing situation at the time, saying, "I was trying to avoid a Chinese girl who was playing, and I ended up getting hurt myself." In trying to ensure the child's safety, he ended up sustaining a serious injury.
The situation immediately after the accident was even more urgent. He suffered from severe pain since February 9, but due to the Tet holiday, the biggest holiday in Vietnam, he could not receive proper treatment locally. In a situation where it was difficult to find a doctor who could treat him, he ultimately had to board a flight to Korea.
Lee Kyun stated, "No matter how good they are, I feel more at ease having surgery in my country, Korea," expressing deep trust in the domestic medical staff and system. He also expressed gratitude to acquaintances who helped him find a hospital abroad, saying, "Thanks to them, I was able to successfully complete my surgery in Korea."
Lee Kyun debuted in 1997 with the group UP and later transitioned to acting, showcasing his unique performances in sitcoms like 'Hello Francesca' and dramas like 'Pick the Stars.' After temporarily halting his entertainment activities following the drama 'The Three Musketeers' in 2014, he moved to Vietnam and achieved great success as a coffee businessman. Recently, he has been sharing updates through entertainment programs, and there are voices of support wishing for his healthy return after overcoming his injury.
