Korean actress Han Go-eun recently shared her harrowing experience of sudden lower body paralysis.

On the 25th, Han Go-eun's channel 'Go-eun Unnie Han Go-eun' released a video titled "50-Year-Old Menopausal Han Go-eun's Recent Health Scare Shocks American Acupuncturist | Go-eun Guest EP.4."

In the video, Han Go-eun recalled, "About three years ago in winter, I was playing with my dog when suddenly I heard a 'thud' sound, and it felt like my back collapsed. I couldn't move from that position. Only my toes could move, so I knew my nerves were still functioning. But I couldn't move anything else, and it was excruciatingly painful. I had to rely on my arm strength because my body wouldn't move."

She continued, "The incident happened at a dog playground inside a resort at a ski resort. I was too embarrassed to call 911. Eventually, I decided to call for help, but since the resort was far from the city, it would take over 40 minutes for 911 to arrive. Fortunately, the emergency medical staff at the ski resort came with a stretcher to get me."

Han Go-eun added, "I was so embarrassed. After receiving pain relief and muscle relaxation treatment at the hospital, I went home and visited a nearby hospital for further treatment. On the second day after the injury, I couldn't move at all. On the third day, I was crawling. Miraculously, by the sixth day, my back straightened out," she said, emphasizing, "Health should be protected while you have it."
