Han Go-eun suffers rib fracture after husband's sudden hospitalization

Actress Han Go-eun reveals a series of recent hardships, including her husband's emergency hospitalization and her own serious bathroom fall.

Actress Han Go-eun has opened up about a recent difficult period, following her husband's sudden hospitalization and her own injury caused by a fall in the bathroom. She revealed that unexpected events occurred in succession, as she was unable to stay by her husband's side at the hospital due to her filming schedule, only to suffer a major injury herself.

Han Go-eun Hospitalized with Rib Fractures; Husband in Wheelchair

On the 10th, Han shared her recent status through her YouTube channel 'Han Go-eun Go-eun Unnie,' stating, "There has been misfortune in our home." As she has typically shown a relatively bright and everyday side of herself on SNS and television, her direct mention of consecutive family health issues drew concern from fans.

First, her husband, Sin Yeong-su, experienced sudden back pain. Han explained that she was filming at the time, saying, "Suddenly, my husband said his back hurt so much. He said he could go to the hospital alone."

However, the situation was more serious than expected. After arriving at the hospital, Sin had to be taken in a wheelchair and was told by medical staff that a procedure was necessary. Han thought her husband would return home once he woke up from anesthesia following the procedure.

The time was 11:00 AM at that moment. However, around 7:00 PM, her husband called her again. Sin called while crying, saying he needed to be hospitalized and complaining that despite receiving the procedure, his pain had not improved at all.

The problem was that Han also could not go to her husband's side immediately due to her filming schedule. She expressed her frustrating feelings at the time, saying, "I was stuck in Ilsan because of filming. I couldn't even contact him properly and had to keep filming."

It was a situation where a sudden medical issue arose within the family, yet it was difficult to stop her own livelihood. In particular, since an actor's filming schedules are often coordinated months in advance, it is not uncommon for it to be difficult to immediately clear a schedule even when sudden family emergencies occur. It appears Han had to suffer through great anxiety during that time.

But before her husband's hospitalization could even be settled, Han herself met with an accident. About two weeks ago, while entering the bathroom in a state of extreme fatigue, she slipped heavily without noticing the moisture on the floor.

Recalling the situation, Han said, "I tried to grab something, but I missed it and hit my side. In that moment, I couldn't hear any sound or think of anything."

Upon visiting the hospital afterward, she was diagnosed with a fracture.

In reality, the bathroom is considered a space with a relatively high risk of falls even within a home. Friction on the floor can decrease due to water or soap, and there is a possibility of the body directly hitting hard structures like bathtubs or sinks during a fall. Han's case is an example where an accident that could have been thought of as a simple slip ultimately led to skeletal damage.

This confession carries meaning beyond a simple celebrity update. Behind the glamorous daily life of an actor exists the reality of having to simultaneously manage family health issues, one's own physical injuries, and professional duties like filming.

Since her debut in the entertainment industry as a model in 1995, Han has expanded her field of activity across dramas, films, and variety shows. She showed her presence as an actress in works such as 'Gyeongseong Scandal,' 'Man in Full Flower,' and 'Miss Monte-Cristo,' and recently, through her namesake YouTube channel, she has been sharing more private areas such as cooking, daily life, and married life with the public.

After marrying Sin Yeong-su in 2015, the couple also revealed their daily life through broadcasts. In particular, Sin previously worked as a home shopping product planner (MD), but it is known that he left his job to take care of the family and has since supported Han's activities. The two drew attention by showing a relationship where they reconstruct their roles according to the situation rather than confining themselves to traditional economic divisions of a married couple.

As such, Han's expression that "misfortune has overlapped at home" is not a simple exaggeration. Her husband was rushed to the hospital and hospitalized due to sudden back pain, and she herself suffered an accident where she fell in the bathroom and cracked a bone. It was as if the two pillars of family health and her own health were shaken almost simultaneously.

Furthermore, Han has been continuing her broadcasting activities recently. In content released last month, she mentioned the mental distress caused by filming and spoke honestly about changes in her gray hair and eyebrows, showing a natural acceptance of the physical changes that occur with age.
