Fans are increasingly concerned about veteran actress Kim Soo-mi's health as she temporarily halted her activities three months ago due to health issues.
Born in 1949, Kim Soo-mi, now 76 years old, was hospitalized at Hanyang University Hospital in Seoul on July 31 due to health problems. Reports indicate that she was advised to rest after experiencing accumulated fatigue from overlapping performance and broadcasting schedules. On September 8, she appeared on a home shopping channel to promote her kimchi brand, but her unusual appearance and behavior raised concerns among viewers.
Audiences noted her swollen face and commented on her slow and unclear speech, prompting worries about her well-being. Some viewers even observed that she struggled to finish her kimchi demonstration and appeared breathless and anxious during the segment. This has led to heightened concern over her health status.
Prior to her break, Kim Soo-mi was actively involved in the tvN STORY entertainment program 'Chairman's People' and met fans through her musical 'Dear Mother.'
