Hallyu world star and actor Bae Yong Joon has been sent to the hospital from overwork and exhaustion.

On September 17, Bae Yong Joon had fainted from exhaustion, overwork and stress, and was sent to a local hospital in Gangnam. But this was only made known to the public on the 20th and Bae Yong Joon is reportedly still in hospital for treatment.

A BOF representative expressed, "Bae Yong Joon is currently receiving treatment on a IV drip but is otherwise in a stable condition. His blood pressure and blood sugar has lowered by a lot and is showing the early stages of Septicemia, or blood poisoning."

It was reported that when Bae Yong Joon had attended his manager's wedding not too long ago, there were comments from worried fans like, "He lost about 10 kilograms. I do not know why he keeps on losing weight," and "he has lost so much weight that his clothes are too big for him."

The represenative added, "We did not announce the situation earlier because we were afraid that we would worry many of Bae Yong Joon's fans. There are no complications thus far and everything should be fine."

Bae Yong Joon is scheduled for discharge before the 22nd, which is the day he publishes a book titled, 'Taking A Vacation to Find the Beauties of Korea." On 29th and 30th of September, Bae Yong Joon will be promoting the animation of the famous Korean drama which he starred in, "Winter Sonata".
