Actress Ko Hyun-jung revealed her changed daily life after being seriously ill.
Allure Korea recently published a photoshoot and interview conducted with Ko Hyun-jung. Ko candidly shared her current status after hospitalization and treatment, and her changed mindset after being sick.
Ko reflected on herself after her illness. She said, "I discovered that I was suffering from 'cool disease'. 'Cool disease' is not good for the body. What is good for the body is kindness. Warmth, caring, and asking about each other… I realized too late that these are good things."
She also shared, "Although it's just a little, I've been treating my parents better since I got sick. I call more often so that I don't have regrets myself."
However, she noted that she is not completely cured yet. Ko stated, "At the hospital, they told me that I need to recover quickly and focus on treatment. I also thought that I need to overcome this. They said I would reduce my medications and stabilize by fall. I am not completely better yet."
Although Ko is ill, she also draws strength from work. She enjoys resting at home, but she also maintains her health through the energy she gains from working. In this interview, Ko mentioned, "I am really busy. I like to rest at home, but I have a busy schedule every day. I must be the type of person who needs to work to stay healthy. If I stay at home too much, my condition worsens. But when I work, I forget. I think focusing too much on oneself is not good."
Ko previously revealed that she underwent major surgery last year, raising concerns. Later, she returned with a noticeably thin appearance and started her work activities, but she was hospitalized ahead of her broadcast. Currently recovering after receiving intensive treatment, Ko is interacting with fans through social media and YouTube, and she will return in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "The Mantis: Original Sin," premiering on Sept. 5.
