Actor Jeon Won-ju, 87, underwent surgery after a fall on an icy road caused a crack in a hip joint. Jeon Won-ju plans to suspend activities such as YouTube filming for the time being.
The team behind Jeon Won-ju's YouTube channel "Jeonwonjuin-gong" said in a notice on the 2nd, "Teacher Jeon Won-ju recently fell on an icy road and had surgery for a hip fracture," adding, "Filming is currently impossible, so there will be no content uploads for a few weeks."
The YouTube channel's production staff released a photo of Jeon Won-ju in a hospital gown, smiling with a thumbs-up. Fortunately, Jeon Won-ju is not believed to be in serious condition.
That day, through the YouTube channel, Jeon Won-ju said, "I was in a hurry. I could have taken my time leaving the house, but I ended up collapsing while trying to walk out quickly as if I were dancing," and added, "I thought I was fine, but they said there's a crack in my hip joint. But I'm perfectly fine now."
Jeon continued, "I will fully recover and appear before you," adding, "Please keep showing your love. I'm grateful to you for treating me like a young person even as I grow older."
