Bae Yong-joon: "I Am Feeling Well"

Actor Bae Yong-joon's agency BOF said on June 20 that Bae, who was hospitalized on June 19 due to overexertion, is now recovering. "He was hospitalized after showing symptoms of exhaustion when he returned home after filming the final scene of the movie 'April Snow' late into the night. But there is nothing to worry about. He is getting injections now and recovering", said a person from BOF. He also added that he will notify the actor's fans about his release from the hospital, which will be decided after a precise diagnosis has been made.

Bae's Japanese agency IMX also posted a message on its website about the actor's illness, writing that Bae had been hospitalized due to overwork and fatigue that had accumulated during the movie's filming but that he had no serious health problems, and urged the actor's fans not to worry. IMX also added that Bae was feeling grateful to his fans for helping finish the production of "April Snow" without any mishaps.

Major Japanese news agencies including Yomiuri Shinbun, Sports Nippon and Kyodo News also reported on Bae's hospitalization on June 21.

Sports Nippon wrote that the production of "April Snow" turned out to be a "hard battle" for Bae, as it lasted a month longer than expected due to the script being changed daily according to circumstances on the filming set. As a result, the actor lost four kilograms of weight over one month due to stress.
