The "Family Is No. 1" actor revived his career after illness, revealing his current state of affairs

Now, after 1 decade of living with the disease, actor Jung Il Woo has learned to accept his condition and face things more calmly.

DongA newspaper recently reported that the Family Is No. 1 actor has just shared his current health condition after 10 years of being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.

According to the source, on the show "It's out! Captain Kim," Jung Il Woo said it has been nearly 1 decade since he found out he had the disease. At that time, he was only 27 years old. However, after a long time living with the disease, he is now much calmer.

"It's been over 10 years since I learned about this disease. This is my body and my illness, what can I do? I just accepted it and lived with it," Jung Il Woo said.

The Family Is No. 1 actor also admitted that he was initially shocked when he learned he had a brain aneurysm: "When I was diagnosed, I was told it was like a ticking time bomb. I didn't know when I was going to run out, so I didn't even leave the house for months."

At that time, Jung Il Woo seemed unable to accept this fact. However, the doctor who treated him directly advised him to think, this is just a chronic disease to keep the best mental state. At the same time, the doctor also advised the actor not to fly. But then, he decided to spend his time traveling the world.

"I went to find myself and thought traveling was really important. I'm not afraid of new challenges. Someone once told me, if you get sick and just think about it, you will be trapped in your own disease," Jung Il Woo said.

Lee Min Ho's close friend also revealed that he still regularly checks his condition every 6 months.

Jung Il Woo was born in 1987, is the male lead of a series of famous movies such as "Family Is No. 1", "Moon Embraces the Sun", "49 Days", "My Nam Noodle Shop", "Golden Rainbow" ... He is also known as the "Prince of Historical Movies".

In 2006, Jung Il Woo had his first acting role in the drama The World Of Silence. In the film, he plays a quiet, peaceful, caring guy, although acting well, but because of his few appearances, not many dialogues, he does not make much impression on the audience.

Fortunately, in the same year, Jung Il Woo had the opportunity to appear in the hit sitcom "Family Is No. 1", taking the lead role alongside a series of veteran actors. After this drama, Jung Il Woo immediately became famous and had the opportunity to receive more dramas and movies.

With his eye-catching appearance and outstanding height, Jung Il Woo has continuously received the main role in a series of film projects from cult producers. However, his career did not stand out too much compared to his peers when his name was mostly known only in the country.

In the same year, the actor had a serious traffic accident while traveling with 3 friends, including Lee Min Ho. The accident left Lee Min Ho in a coma for 1 month and bedridden for months because of broken ribs, torn knee cartilage, and Jung Il Woo also broke his pelvis, wrist fracture, hemorrhage in the head and mild memory loss. He had to be treated for 7 months to recover.

This is the reason why Jung Il Woo disappeared for a long time, could not take advantage of the attraction of "Family Is No. 1" to develop his own career and did not appear on screen until the end of 2007. It seems that this reappearance will be favorable, who expected that the accident 1 year ago left heavy sequelae for Jung Il Woo.

In 2013, he was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm after repeatedly exhibiting headaches. The insidious disease caused the actor to interrupt his career. He had to go through a difficult time on his own, limiting his public appearances.

Getting sick right at the time of preparing to enlist, despite being exempted from service, Jung Il Woo still decides to fulfill his responsibilities as a citizen. Having been absent for a long time, his reputation also decreased a lot. At the end of 2018, the actor was discharged from the military and immediately returned to work, trying to revive his career.

In 2021, the actor surnamed Jung gained interest again thanks to the period drama "Bossam: Steal The Fate". Then there is the movie "Good Job", once again reunited with popular idol Yuri, with whom he made the success of "Bossam: Steal The Fate".
