Annyeong haseyo, dear family, this is Bae Yong Joon.

It has been a long time to send my greetings.

I have recently finished drama shooting, I am at home reading books, listening to music, and watching movies. I am doing things that I have not been able to do. I am meeting people who I have not been able to see for a while.

Of course, I am curing my injury, and it is getting much better now.

There is only one day left for year 2007, it will soon become year 2008.

Looking back this year now, it has been full of afterglow and regrets for me.

During the shooting of drama, there were very hard times and I did get some injuries, but your support, trust and hope gave me power to complete the whole shooting. I sincerely send my appreciation to you all.

The year is ending soon, I wish you and your family hope and happiness in the new year.

(in Japanese)
Dear family, Happy New Year!

裴勇俊的新年致辞

Annyong haseyo！ 亲爱的家人，大家好。
我是裴勇俊。
好久没有给大家送上问候。

我最近刚完成电视剧的拍摄，
现在都呆在家中，看看书，听听音乐，也看看电影。
在做一些之前没能做的事情，
在见一些之前好久都没能见到的人，
当然，我也在养伤，现在已经好很多了。

2007年只剩下一天了，很快就会变成2008年。
回顾这一年，对我来说，是充满了余味，光彩和遗憾的一年。
在拍摄电视剧的过程中，面对了很艰难的时候，我也受了一些伤，
但你们的支持，信任还有期待和希望给了我完成整个拍摄工作的力量。
我真诚地对大家表示感激。

这一年就将结束，
我希望你们和你们的家人都能在新的一年拥有希望和快乐。

(日文) 亲爱的家人，新年快乐！

BYJ, discharged in 6 days with cast on a knee,
a knee in cast getting out of risk of surgery
[Newsen]

On 8, Yonsama BYJ was confirmed to have discharged from a hospital he was admitted to.

Having passionately acted as he took the title role in fantasy epic history drama MBC TWSSG, BYJ suffered from total of 4 big and little injuries during filming of the drama. Including an accident of falling off a horse, he damaged a ligament in index finger of right hand as he was hit by a sword whirled by an opposite actor while filming a battle scene. Also, as a stuntman fell on his neck while filming an wire action scene up in air, he was diagnosed having 'Cervical spinal disc rupture'. To make matter worse, he sprained a leg while filming a scene of landing after jumping into air at the time of the last filming, ending up depending on crutches.

Because of them, BYJ has been receiving detailed examinations and treatments after admission to a general hospital in downtown Seoul on past December 2, when he crank up the drama, but he was discharged from the hospital on 8th in 6 days.

A staff at the BOF, BYJ's agency told on a telephone conversation with the Newsen on 9 that "Mr Bae Yongjoon was discharged on 8 after fininshing detailed examinations. At present, he had a cast on a knee and plans to received outpatient treatment from now on."

This staff told, "As a result of the detailed examinations, he got diagnosis that it was appropriate to treat injured parts with physical therapy for now. However, in case that recovery is difficult with physical therapy alone, he could undergo a surgery."

As BYJ was discharged from the hospital, possibility for him to attend MBC Acting Grand Award became higher. With the success of the TWSSG, BYJ has been counted as a powerful candidate for the MBC Grand Acting Award to be held on December 30. A staff at BYJ's agency added a weight on possibility for BYJ's attendance by saying that "Although we have to watch his health status a little longer, he plans to attend as much as possible."

How are you, I am Yang Geunhwan.

How are you, dear family…

How are you doing in cold winter?
I give you news that Mr. Bae Yongjoon finished filming of the drama 'TWSSG' in yesterday afternoon. At present after finishing the filming. I feel very much thanks for everything, and, personally, my heart feels very much full.

All the while, thanks to dear family's endless cheer and support, not only BYJ, of course, but also all BOF staff have been able to work on filming until its end doing all our best. Once again I give thanks from bottom of my true heart bowing my head once more time.

At present, Mr. Bae Yongjoon, upon finishing the filming of the drama, was admitted to a hospital right away for treatment of injuries he suffered many times during the filming and is undergoing detailed examination. Athough we shall know precise extent of injuries and duration of hospitalization after the results of examination is made out, he plans to receive treatment in hospital for a time being. We are very sorry to tell you heart breaking news. As we promised with you, BOF will devote unmost effort to Mr. BYJ's recovery from now on also.

Although there were times we felt overwhelming and difficulties because drama 'TWSSG' was a new challanges that no one had ever beento, we cannot forget dear family's love given to Mr. Bae Yongjoon and the drama from since decision was made to appear in the drama until even now when the last broadcasting is ahead of us.

I will put further more effort so that we can greet you again with good news from now on.
In this cold winter, watch out for the colds, and stay warm.

Yang Geunhwan
