Actress Moon Geun-young attended the production presentation for “Hellbound 2” on the 21st, where her slightly fuller appearance raised concerns. She addressed these concerns directly, stating, “I am very healthy now.”
On the same day, Moon Geun-young shared on her Instagram, “Many people seem to be worried about my health more than I expected. I am fully recovered now and I am very, very healthy. Although I have gained a little weight, I am on a diet while watching fact-based videos every day. I hope you will cheer for my success in dieting instead of worrying about my health now.”
In February 2017, she suddenly experienced pain in her right arm and was diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome, undergoing four surgeries. In 2022, she also shared noticeable surgical scars on her Instagram related to the condition.
Acute compartment syndrome, which Moon Geun-young had, is an emergency medical condition where increased pressure within a muscle compartment compromises circulation and can damage tissue. It usually occurs in the limbs (arms or legs) and presents severe pain, swelling, decreased sensation, and muscle weakness as symptoms. If blood supply is blocked for a prolonged period, it can damage tissue or lead to permanent loss of function, making rapid diagnosis and treatment essential.
