Yoon Eun-hye Reveals Health Scare: Allergic Reaction Caused Swelling, Discoloration, Week of IV Treatments

Korean actress Yoon Eun-hye (윤은혜) recently revealed she has been experiencing poor health, battling a cold followed by a severe allergic reaction over two weeks. The issues caused skin swelling and discoloration, made it difficult for her to sleep due to intense itching, and required a week of intravenous (IV) treatments, drawing concern from her fans.

During a live broadcast on her personal YouTube channel, “Yoon Eun Hye's EUNHYELOGIN,” on the 15th, Yoon updated fans on her recent condition and personal concerns. She began the broadcast by addressing her health, stating, “I feel a little better today. I was sick for a full two weeks.”

She elaborated, explaining that the first week was spent recovering from a cold, followed by an intense allergic flare-up that lasted about 10 days. “My hands actually turned black, and I couldn't even sleep because the itching was so severe. I received IV treatments for about a week.”

Discussing the severity of her skin condition, Yoon described her skin as being “red, swollen, and discolored.” Her neck also appeared noticeably red, making her hesitant to apply much makeup. “I kept waking up while trying to sleep,” she recalled, adding that she couldn't even consume dairy products during the allergic period.

Due to the persistent allergic symptoms, Yoon mentioned briefly receiving steroid-related treatment. However, as it couldn't be used continuously, she focused on managing her condition with medication. Despite feeling unwell, she still had to continue working. “Don't I still have to work? So I just had to find a way to take my medicine diligently.”

Beyond her health update, Yoon also responded to a fan who seemed to be experiencing panic-like symptoms, sharing her own past experiences. While she wasn't sure if her condition was panic disorder, she admitted to having a significant fear of crowded places. “In places with many people, like airports, where you sometimes have to wait in line, I would break out in a cold sweat and find it hard to breathe properly.”

Yoon revealed that this situation lasted for a long time. “At that time, the term 'panic disorder' didn't exist, and there wasn't a suitable way to describe that state.” She believes she simply didn't know how to articulate her physical and mental discomfort back then.

Currently, Yoon's health is gradually improving, and she is set to embark on new entertainment projects. She has confirmed her participation in ENA's new consumer observation variety show, “Ni Don Nae San” (니돈내산), which is scheduled to premiere on the 27th.

On the show, she will spend a day observing others' spending habits and deduce their true lifestyles from their deliberately hidden identities, all while showcasing her characteristic refined taste and observational skills.
