Actress Skips Treatment For K-Drama Shoot After Car Crash—Now Battles Pain Every Day

On January 31, 2026 (KST), in a video uploaded to actor Yoo Yeon Seok‘s YouTube channel, actress Lee Chung Ah appeared as a guest to promote her new ENA K-Drama, Honor: Women’s Court.

In the video, Lee Chung Ah named her recent focus as “hip joints.” She revealed, “I must have watched at least 100 rehabilitation videos for hips.” Why? Because she was recently involved in a car crash!

Last August, when we started shooting the drama, I was in a car accident and injured my hip.

The actress went on to explain, “I was in pain, but filming started immediately, so I missed the right timing for treatment. The pain traveled from my waist up to my neck, and with all the action scenes and wearing heels, plus not being able to sleep, I should have healed—but I didn’t.”

I kept thinking, ‘Why am I still in pain?’ It was fine when I walked, but it hurt when I twisted. I wondered what was wrong with my hip, and realized it’s such an important joint in our bodies.

Lee Chung Ah said her condition improved once she wore heels less often, adding, “Once the shoot is over, I’ll rest for about four days and do absolutely nothing.”
