Lee Hyori recently revealed a shocking incident where she had to be hospitalized after trying to break up a fight between her dogs, sparking an outpouring of sympathy from her fans.
In the Sunday episode of the JTBC special documentary Hye Ja’s Garden: Heavenly Ever After, Lee Hyori had a touching conversation with actress Kim Hye Ja.
During the program, Lee Hyori opened up about her emotional response to Kim Hye Ja’s drama Heavenly Ever After. “I watched the scenes with the dogs with my husband, and I cried so much. Maybe because I’ve had to say goodbye to so many of my dogs, it really hit me hard,” she shared.
Lee Hyori then recalled a painful experience, saying, “I was trying to break up a fight between my dogs, and my hand almost got severed. I ended up in the hospital, and all the nerves in my hand were damaged. My hand was completely limp, and I honestly thought it was going to be amputated.” She showed her hand on camera as she recounted the terrifying moment.
Kim Hye Ja, visibly concerned, remarked, “Wow, what happened to your nails?” Lee Hyori explained, “It’s been two years now. At the time, my husband was in Seoul for filming, and the hospital told me they couldn’t perform surgery without his consent.” Lee Hyori’s tone became serious as she remembered the urgency of the situation.
Despite the pain she endured, Lee Hyori added, “People ask me what I’m going to do with my hand when this airs, but I’m not embarrassed. It’s the truth.” Kim Hye Ja comforted her, saying, “You love your dogs so much, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. You just got hurt in the process, and that’s the reality.”
Lee Hyori’s genuine love for her pets and her bravery in sharing such a personal experience have deeply resonated with viewers, who have sent in countless messages of support and admiration.
