Actor Lee Se-chang undergoes emergency surgery for acute appendicitis

Actor Lee Se-chang underwent emergency surgery after experiencing a level 10 abdominal pain in the early morning. He had to call 119 for rescue while home alone on the 12th due to the sudden onset of acute appendicitis.

Actor Lee Se-chang has revealed that he experienced extreme pain from acute appendicitis while staying home alone, leading him to call 119 and undergo emergency surgery. He shared the details of the critical situation, where the sudden onset of intense abdominal pain was severe enough to require an emergency rescue request, drawing concern from fans.

On the 12th, Lee Se-chang posted photos and videos from the hospital on his personal account, writing, "Acute appendicitis comes unexpectedly. Of all times, I was home alone. I almost died but survived." The released images show Lee receiving treatment in a hospital bed, conveying the urgency of the unexpected emergency.

Lee stated that he called 119 after being struck by sudden, intense abdominal pain in the early morning hours. "In the early morning, I felt a pain in my stomach as if it were breaking, and for the first time, I called 119," he explained. The unprecedented intensity of the pain instantly turned his daily life into an emergency situation.

Lee described the pain as a "pain intensity of 10," adding, "No matter how much it hurts, it couldn't be this painful." He further noted that the surgery was performed urgently, confirming that he was transported to the hospital and quickly operated on following the sudden illness.

Acute appendicitis is a condition where inflammation occurs in the appendix, which can lead to situations requiring emergency treatment due to severe abdominal pain. As Lee had to request rescue while alone in the early morning due to the intense pain, he appears to have realized the dangers of such emergency situations through this experience.

Lee married Miss Korea winner Kim Ji-yeon in 2003 and had a daughter, but the couple divorced after 10 years. He later remarried actress Jung Ha-na, who is 13 years younger, in 2017 to start a new family. Following his remarriage, Lee has continued his acting career and various other activities, and attention is now focused on his health recovery following the news of his sudden surgery.
