'Is BYJ a King of Jyusin in his real life?"

It was belatedly known that BYJ, appearing in MBC drama 'TWSSG', had sustained serious injuries on cervical spine and ligament in shoulder following an injury in his finger.

However, BYJ is devoting himself entirely in acting tolerating pain with pain killers only in order to meet last moment filming schedule.

The accident occurred while filminf a scene of fighting against Hwacheonhwoi entering Yeon Garyeo's mansion after Damdeok and his crew found red jade, that was aired in 17th episode.

Because of mishandling of wire control, an opposite actor who were hanging in the air fell on BYJ's neck.

BYJ, feeling severe pain to the extent he was not able to lift his head, was transported to a hospital, and got a diagnoses of 'expulsion of interspinal plate (?disc) in cervical spine' and 'contusion on a ligament' in shoulder.

Although the hospital recommended immediate admission to the hospital and surgery, BYj could not help but to return to filming site due to drama filming.

Although he is in condition of having a difficulty in holding up a prop sword at this time, he is working on filming barely tolerating pain with administration of analgegics several times a day and taping therapy only.

BYJ's agency BOF told, "We are very much anxious about the situation where he cannot receive proper treatment despite grave injury," and "as soon as the filming cranks up, we will pour all effort in Mr. BYJ's treatment and recovery with hospitalization and surgery as the utmost priority."

Drama 'TWSSG' has its last airing ahead of it on coming December 5 and is currently filming going back and forth filming sites in entire nation.
