Actor Bae Yong-joon hospitalized for illness
Korean Wave star Bae Yong-joon has been hospitalized for treatment of an illness believed to have been caused by extreme fatigue and stress, his management agency said Sunday, Yonhap reported.
Bae's agency, BOF, said the actor was admitted to a Seoul hospital Thursday after his blood pressure and blood sugar levels fell sharply. Test results showed that he was suffering from early stages of blood deterioration, the agency said.
Agency officials said the actor was not in serious condition and may be able to be discharged from the hospital this week in time for a scheduled publicity event.
"Bae has lost a lot of weight and appears to have grown weaker after working hard over the past year on a book that looks into the issue of Korean aesthetics," one agency official said.
Bae rose to stardom in neighboring Asian countries, including Japan, for his lead role in "Winter Sonata," a drama about star-crossed lovers in 2002.

Korean top star Bae Yong-joon, 37, has been hospitalized to get treatment for blood poisoning, according to Bae's management agency Sunday.
"Bae was taken to a hospital in southern Seoul on Sept. 17 as he collapsed amid an abrupt fall in his blood sugar and blood pressure. The initial medical check proved that he was in the earlier stages of blood poisoning. He has become weaker in immunity due to overwork and stress," said the Boundaries of Forest (BOF).
"Bae seems to have gotten stressed about writing his book recently. He seems to have lost weight and is exhausted mentally as he has been consumed in writing his book for over one year," the agency said.
"There are no other problems. He is taking it easy, receiving Ringer's nutrient solution, at hospital."
Bae has lost more than 10kgs in weight during the past one year, while writing his photo essay, Journey Seeking Beauty of Korea, according to BOF
Bae is scheduled to hold a ceremony for the publishing of the book at the National Museum of Korea in central Seoul on Sept. 22. A similar event along with the one promoting the animation, Winter Sonata, is scheduled in Tokyo from Sept. 29 to 30.
"We believe that he will be able to leave the hospital by the publication day although we are worried a little," the agency said.
"He has gotten fatigued a lot due to a series of overnight work sessions to finish the publication. It seems that he really took it hard ahead of two big events in Seoul and Tokyo."
