Lee Jin Ho Recovers From Stroke, Faces Paralysis Concerns

Lee Jin-ho collapsed due to an acute cerebral hemorrhage and has passed the critical stage, but it is known that there is a possibility of paralysis remaining.

On April 1st, Lee Jin-ho collapsed at his home in Yangpyeong, where he lived alone, and was urgently transported to the hospital. He is currently receiving treatment in the intensive care unit. His agency, SM C&C, stated, "​His life is not in danger," but medical staff are monitoring his condition, as the possibility of sequelae such as paralysis cannot be ruled out due to the nature of cerebral hemorrhage.

When Lee Jin-ho collapsed, he was on the phone with a close friend and suddenly groaned before losing contact. Fortunately, the acquaintance found this unusual and immediately called an ambulance. The acquaintance knew Lee Jin-ho's home address and access information, which enabled a swift rescue.

Separate from his treatment, practical difficulties are also ongoing. Lee Jin-ho had recently defaulted on his health insurance premiums, and as a result, he could not receive full health insurance benefits, leading to a significant increase in his medical expenses. As intensive care treatment is prolonged, costs continue to rise, and his family is working hard to secure funds for the hospital bills.

Following personal misfortunes and controversies in the past, Lee Jin-ho had been in a period of self-reflection, halting his activities. It is reported that he faced financial difficulties due to the cessation of his income.
