'Running Man' youngest member Ji Ye-eun returned to broadcasting after about three weeks, but because her health was still not fully recovered she ultimately had to go to the hospital during the recording.
#. Brightly returned Ji Ye-eun… however her voice is still a "warning light"
Earlier on the 2nd the SBS variety show 'Running Man' featured Ji Ye-eun, who had been resting due to health problems, appearing after about three weeks. Her bright expression and characteristic energy were intact, but from her first words a heavily strained metallic voice was revealed, prompting viewers to show both joy and concern.
Ji Ye-eun wiped her eyes and said, "Thank you for supporting me so much," and Choi Daniel, with a worried look, said, "Her voice hasn't fully returned yet." Ji Ye-eun instead smiled and said, "I have to talk a lot like this so the vocal cords reattach," showing her characteristic positive energy.
Kim Jong-kook also said, "We apologized to Ye-eun. What looked like double chins was not fat but caused by the thyroid," and wished her a healthy recovery. Ji Ye-eun, who revealed that during her rest she experienced changes in appetite and indigestion, said, "I've been taking restorative foods these days," conveying that she is making efforts to recover. The members kindly cared for her, saying, "Hold back on talking," and, "Don't overwork."
#. health concerns continue immediately after return… fans "get well slowly"
Ji Ye-eun recently suspended activities temporarily due to worsening health. Some outlets raised suspicions of hypothyroidism, but her agency said it is difficult to confirm because it is medical information. Even immediately after her return, viewers have continued to offer encouragement with reactions such as "We're worried about her voice," "Still, thank you for coming back," and "Health comes first."
#. however… on the 30th broadcast she appeared with a "swollen face" → ultimately hospital visit
Meanwhile, on the 30th episode of 'Running Man' Ji Ye-eun appeared with a swollen face, causing renewed concern. During the recording, Ji Ye-eun suddenly left her seat, and Yoo Jae-suk, having assessed the situation, explained in her stead.
Yoo Jae-suk said, "Ye-eun went to the hospital briefly and will come back," adding, "She is still recovering and has cold symptoms and body aches. She is not 100% recovered, and because the shoots are consecutive it seems she is struggling."
It was reported that Ji Ye-eun received treatment at the hospital and then rejoined the recording. Still with a hoarse voice and a swollen face. Ji Ye-eun appears to need time before a "complete recovery," and fans and viewers have sent messages prioritizing her health such as "Health comes first," "Take time to rest and recover," and "I'm worried whether her schedule should be reduced."
