Concerns Grow for Veteran Actor Lee Soon-jae's Health
News of health issues surrounding Lee Soon-jae, a beloved veteran actor cherished by the entire nation, has weighed heavily on many hearts.
Recently, at the ‘2025 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards’ ceremony held at the National Theater of Korea in Jangchung-dong, Seoul, actor Jung Dong-hwan mentioned Lee Soon-jae's name and expressed concern for his health.
Jung Dong-hwan stated, "I understand his health is not good," and wished for Lee Soon-jae's speedy recovery.
It is said that many audience members became somber upon hearing this.
Lee Soon-jae, who is approaching his 90th birthday this year, has had his health condition cause concern on several occasions.
Last year, he received the Grand Prize at the ‘2024 KBS Drama Awards,’ earning the honor of being the oldest recipient ever.
However, he halted official activities afterward, leading to rumors of health problems.
He faced difficulties during drama filming, and there were many instances of him withdrawing from theater performances midway.
In particular, in August, actor Park Geun-hyung's statement that “the situation doesn’t seem good” further fueled fans' worries.
However, an acquaintance stated, “There are no major issues with his health itself, but his leg strength has weakened, making movement uncomfortable,” and revealed that Lee Soon-jae is focusing on rehabilitation.
As this news spread, fans are even more eagerly praying for his health.
Many netizens are also pouring out messages of support, saying, “I was hoping he would recover, but it’s unfortunate,” and “A living witness to Korean drama, I hope he recovers his health.”
Lee Soon-jae has left behind so many works. Numerous masterpieces such as ‘Hur Jun,’ ‘Yi San,’ ‘High Kick!,’ and ‘The Red Sleeve’ have been conveyed through his acting.
Lee Soon-jae's quick recovery is becoming a wish for the entire Korean cultural and artistic community, beyond just a personal health issue.
The hearts of fans who want to see him on stage again are very earnest.
Hoping that Lee Soon-jae, who is receiving so much love and support, will regain his health as soon as possible, we look forward to seeing him back on stage.
We sincerely hope for his recovery.
As a fan, and as someone who loves Korean dramas, Lee Soon-jae is more than just an actor.
Through his acting, we have received much inspiration and lessons, and we look forward to his wonderful performances in the future.
