We too consider health of Mr. BYJ as the top priority more than anything, and will help him at his side with all our best (for him) to carry out official schedule from now on.

Hankook Daily, original report posted on 9/21/09 06:31

Due to overexertion for preparing photoessay 'of Korea...'
To be discharged from hospital today… to finish schedule as planned including commemorative meeting for publication, etc.

'Hallyu star' BYJ is in a hospital.

According to BYJ's agency, BOF, BYJ was down from overexertion, and was admitted to a hospital in Kangnam, Seoul on the 17th. The agency said, "BYJ seemed to have overexerted himself with the publication of the book ahead of him. Because his blood sugar and blood pressure dropped very much, he went to the hospital."

Although there was a rumor that he had a new version of influenza regarding BYJ's hospitalization, it turned out that he had early symptoms of sepsis caused by overexertion, being different from the rumor.

Since he has been pouring his heart and blood into preparing the photoessay 'Travel left for exploring beauty of Korea-BYJ', which will go on sale on the 23rd, he became ill in the end. BYJ became very thin as he lost over 10-Kg of weight while writing this book.

A staff in his agency said, "He has been straining his nerves very much due to the publication of the book to the extent that he got ill. He seems to have fallen sick because his personality is such that he devotes himself more than 100% once he does a project. It is heartbreaking that he lost so much weight."

BYJ plans to finish his entire officially planned schedules regardless of his hospitalization. He will carry out a commemorative meeting for publication of 'Travel left to explore beauty of Korea' to be held at the National Central Museum in Yongsan Ku, Seoul on the 22nd, and schedules in Japan that begin on the 28th, without a snag. The agency said, "He himself has the strong will to get up (from a sickbed), shaking off a disease. His heart is to be on stage as he recovers by the 22nd."

BYJ decided to be discharged from the hospital before noon on the 21st. BYJ is considering taking a rest at his home from the 22nd until he leaves for Japan.

Yong Joon ssi ... Please Get Well Soon

Sept. 21, 2009


This poem was written by Joanne Fucks and I want to say this to you too.

Magic Wand

I wish I had a magic wand
To make it go away

I'd wave my scepter over you

Until you were okay.


I'd think good thoughts

I'd send you love

I'd transmit healing vibes
My wand and I would surely beat
What ever the Doctor prescribes.

But there's no magic scepter, so

I cannot cast a spell

Just know you're always in my thoughts

And I hope

You'll soon be well.

"Honey Baeb" Yong Joon ssi... Please be careful of your health.

Still about BYJs Hospitalization

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.

Hallyu Star Bae Hospitalized

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."
