Comedian Lee Jin-ho has become a topic of conversation after news of his health problems was revealed late amid various controversies.
On the 9th, his agency SM C&C said, "Lee Jin-ho collapsed from a sudden cerebral hemorrhage on the afternoon of April 1 and was hospitalized, and he has since regained consciousness and is focusing on treatment."
What drew attention in this context was that the actual time he collapsed and the time of the announcement were about a week apart. Because it was a sudden serious illness and his health was unstable, those around him appear to have watched the situation carefully and responded cautiously.
The agency also refrained from discussing specific symptoms or future treatment plans, saying, "Because recovery of health is the top priority, we ask for warm support."
Lee Jin-ho debuted in 2005 as an SBS special recruitment comedian and was widely loved for the "Woong-i father" character, and he later appeared on various entertainment and comedy programs.
However, recently he has suspended activities amid various controversies. In particular, Lee Jin-ho acknowledged illegal gambling in 2024 and mentioned debts of hundreds of millions of won, and revelations that he borrowed money from fellow entertainers and others caused a stir.
After that, allegations continued as drunk driving and tax delinquency issues were added, and public reaction to the reported deterioration in his health has been mixed amid the various controversies.
But above all, the most important thing is his current treatment and recovery. Separate from the controversies, since he experienced a serious situation of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, he is expected to devote himself to recovery for the time being.
