The broadcaster Ji Ye-eun, who announced a pause in activities, was reported to be battling a thyroid disorder.
On the 14th, a media outlet, citing a source, reported that Ji Ye-eun halted activities due to hypothyroidism.
Earlier, Ji Ye-eun's agency, CP Entertainment, said in an official statement in August that "Ji Ye-eun will care for her health starting in September and focus on recovery. We will provide all necessary support so the actress can get sufficient rest and return" and announced a temporary suspension of activities.
Accordingly, Ji Ye-eun decided to take a three-week break from filming the SBS variety show "Running Man," on which she was a regular cast member. Regarding this, Yoo Jae-suk said on the Dec. 12 broadcast of "Running Man," "I heard Ye-eun was related to burnout, but that's not it. She's currently receiving treatment," he explained.
Ji Seok-jin said, "Her health check showed she needs treatment," and Haha said, "Once treatment is finished, she'll return quickly." Yoo Jae-suk added, "I talked with Ji Ye-eun on the phone, and she said she's much better now."
However, the exact diagnosis had not been disclosed. Meanwhile, reports attracted attention saying Ji Ye-eun felt unwell, visited a hospital, was found to have decreased thyroid function, and temporarily suspended activities.
Regarding this, agency CP Entertainment told OSEN, "Please understand that it is difficult to confirm exact details because this is personal medical information," expressing a cautious stance.
Meanwhile, Ji Ye-eun was a regular on SBS's "Running Man," as well as Coupang Play's "Office Workers" and Netflix's "Kian's Bizarre B&B."
