"Comedian Lee Jin-ho, who had collapsed from a cerebral hemorrhage," has fortunately shown improvement in his health and is now able to converse with acquaintances. He is currently focusing on rehabilitation, but it is expected to take quite some time before he is discharged.
On the 14th, OSEN reported that comedian Lee Jin-ho collapsed from a cerebral hemorrhage last month and was transferred to the intensive care unit in serious condition, but without major surgery he received treatment after being hospitalized and recovered quickly, and is now in a general ward focusing on rehabilitation. It was reported that he has reached the point where he can do more than recognize those around him and can even hold conversations.
According to officials, a cerebral hemorrhage can be a disease with a poor prognosis if not careful, but in Lee Jin-ho's case he has fortunately improved, which has put acquaintances at ease. However, because treatment and rehabilitation remain, he is expected to stay hospitalized and live at the hospital for the time being. Also, in the early days of his hospitalization only family members could visit due to the characteristics of the intensive care unit, but as Lee Jin-ho's condition stabilized significantly, in addition to Lee Yongjin, who first visited the hospital, recently visits from comedian colleagues who were close friends have continued.
However, because Lee Jin-ho was hospitalized for a cerebral hemorrhage, it is expected to take a long time to complete full treatment and be discharged.
Meanwhile, Lee Jin-ho was hospitalized on April 1 after a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and Super Junior's Kangin played a big role in the process. Kangin happened to call on the day Lee Jin-ho collapsed, and Lee Jin-ho, who was losing consciousness, barely answered the call and explained his physical condition. Afterwards, Kangin quickly called 119, and because the emergency responders arrived within the golden hour the team was able to transport Lee Jin-ho to the hospital.
Lee Jin-ho, who debuted in 2005 through an SBS special recruitment, was greatly loved for roles such as "Woong's father" on Men on a Mission. He later appeared as a regular member on Men on a Mission and other shows, but in 2024 he admitted to illegal gambling and halted activities in the entertainment industry entirely. In September last year he was caught driving under the influence and was referred to prosecutors, and amid this, it was revealed that due to financial hardship he had fallen behind on national health insurance payments of about 28 million won since April 2023, keeping him in the middle of controversy.
