Actress Jeon Won-joo has shared an update on her recovery following hip replacement surgery.

Recently, Jeon appeared on her manager's YouTube channel, marking her first outing for a meal since being discharged from the hospital.

In the video, she is seen sitting in a restaurant, preparing to enjoy a bowl of bibimbap, looking noticeably brighter. Her return to everyday life, free from hospital attire, brought relief to her fans.

This outing was her first since the surgery. The video description read, "Jeon Won-joo is fully recovered. Enjoying her first outing meal," highlighting her recovery and positive demeanor.

Previously, Jeon had shared details about her hip injury, explaining, "I could have taken it slow at home, but I was dancing and walking quickly when I fell." She added, "At the hospital, they told me there was a fracture in my hip."

Following her hip replacement surgery, Jeon documented her recovery process. Although she was seen relying on a wheelchair, she maintained her signature bright energy, humming songs and staying positive, leaving a strong impression on her fans.
