It’s been a tough few weeks for actress Lee Chung Ah, and fans are now bracing for news that her upcoming drama might have to move forward without her. Her agency, Management SOOP, confirmed on September 18 that she was indeed involved in a car accident — and that stepping away from her current project is now on the table.
According to a report by MyDaily, the accident happened last month while Lee Chung Ah was heading to the set of her drama The Obedient Killer. The crash reportedly worsened a pre-existing back condition, but true to her reputation for dedication, she pushed through and kept filming while undergoing treatment.
That determination, however, hit a wall. Doctors advised her to minimize movement for at least a month, forcing the production to pause her scenes. With recovery taking longer than hoped, the team is now discussing her possible withdrawal from the show entirely.
