How are you? I am Yang Geunhwan from BOF.
I know that many family are worried about sudden news of Mr. BYJ's hospitalization. We should have told first to dear family , and our hearts are worried thinking if you were surprised more as you knew about it from news.
At present, Mr. BYJ is taking sufficient rest and bed rest, and his health is in much improved state now. He is recovering faster than we thought so that he and all the people around him feel fortunate about that. We feel that it is thanks to our family who support and protect Mr. BYJ in one heart. 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.
The weather became much cooler. We wish dear family to have lively Autumn as you all are careful about colds and paying more attention to health.
Thank you.
Respectfully, Yang Geunhwan

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.

Thanks to miemi of BYJ Gallery for this photoBYJ is hospitalized as he was down with sepsis.
"His immunity had weakened due to overwork and stress"
It was known belatedly that top star BYJ was hospitalized due to sepsis.
BOF, BYJ's agency revealed on 20, "Mr. BYJ was admitted to a hospital in Kangnam on past 17, as he fell as blood sugar and blood pressure dropped suddenly," and "After examination, early stage of sepsis was diagnosed. The result was out that his immunity decreased due to overwork and stress."
Continuing on, saying that "It seems that BYJ 's nerves became very edgy while he wrote a book recently. He lost weight a lot and his body seemed to became very weak, as he wrote pouring his heart and blood (with great devotion)," (BOF) added that "There is no other abnormality, and he is currently taking rest getting IV solution (Ringer's solution.)."
BYJ became very much wasted as he lost weight over 10-lbs while writing 'Travel left to explore beauty of Korea', a photoessay informing Korea, for over one year.
He has commemorative meeting for publication in National Central Museum on 22 ahead of him, and he will attend promotion event for animation 'WLS' and commemorative meeting of publication of the book in Tokyo, Japan, on 29 and 30.
His agency told, "In addition to accumulation of exhaustion while he prepared the book, he lately worked staying up every day for finishing work. Also, he seems to become very sensitive with big event ahead of him in Korea and Japan one after another," and "Although we worry a lot as we have commemorative meeting for publication ahead of us on 22, it seems that he is able to be discharged prior to that."

In my case, I would like to have a tea with friends, even one. I 'd rather drink tea alone without lots of efforts and devotion, but if there is even one person next to me, then I would like to deliver the taste and scent of tea with more devotion to that person. I think that “we can contemplate when we drink alone, we can communicate each other when two people drink together, we can develop the sympathy when three people drink together, and we can work toward harmony when four people drink together.”
