Ham So-won returns to fans with haggard look after car accident

Broadcaster Ham So-won has resumed communicating with her fans after receiving hospital treatment for approximately two months following a traffic accident. Although she appeared noticeably thinner due to her prolonged hospitalization, she maintained a bright expression while hosting a broadcast, announcing that her health is gradually recovering. During the stream, she drew attention by naturally mentioning the current status of her ex-husband, Jinhwa.

On the 24th, Ham shared a replay video of a group purchase live broadcast on her personal channel, accompanied by a message: “Everyone~ I missed you. I want to keep broadcasting with you~” Having consistently communicated with fans through group purchases, she signaled her return to daily life by introducing cold noodles as the first product of her comeback broadcast.

What drew the most attention was Ham's changed appearance. Standing before the camera with a face noticeably thinner than before the accident, she continued the broadcast with a relatively bright demeanor despite not being fully recovered. As fans expressed concern, she explained her physical condition, saying, “I think my health is gradually getting better.” When asked about her daughter Hye-jeong, she replied, “Hye-jeong went to school.”

Ham was involved in an accident this past June when her vehicle collided with a utility pole while parking. The accident resulted in a pelvic fracture that required surgery and approximately two months of hospital treatment. She previously shared via SNS the critical nature of the situation, noting that she had difficulty moving her legs immediately after the crash and had lost consciousness while being transported to the hospital.

After being discharged, she expressed her feelings about returning home, stating that she has once again realized the value of an ordinary daily life. Having spent a long period in the hospital, the importance of family and daily routine felt even greater. During this comeback broadcast, interest in her health naturally followed.

While pairing chicken breast with the cold noodles, Ham emphasized, “What I realized this time is that protein is truly important.” Beyond a simple food introduction, the comment highlighted how her approach to health management has changed through the long process of treatment and recovery.

The name of her ex-husband, Jinhwa, also surfaced during the broadcast. While introducing seasoned ribs, Ham mentioned, “Jinhwa said they were delicious too.” Although the two are divorced, they are known to maintain contact for the sake of their daughter, Hye-jeong, making the natural mention a point of interest for viewers.

She also expressed gratitude for the fans' support. When a netizen commented, “It's so good to see you again looking healthy,” Ham confessed, “Me too. Honestly, for those two months, I was half-doubting.” She further revealed her mindset during recovery, noting that since no one in the hospital can give a definitive guarantee regarding recovery, “I tried not to have bad thoughts and kept trying to think positively.”

After finishing the broadcast, she urged her fans to stay healthy, saying, “Everyone, stay healthy. That way, you can eat lots of delicious food with me in the future~”

Ham registered her marriage with Jinhwa, a Chinese national 18 years her junior, in 2018 and had her daughter, Hye-jeong, in the same year. Although the two later divorced, they have maintained a relationship through their daughter. As Jinhwa's name was mentioned during this comeback broadcast, attention is once again focused on the current relationship between the two.

Attention is now turning to how quickly Ham, having returned to her daily life after two months of treatment, will resume her regular activities, including broadcasting and group purchases.
