When Jung Il Woo was involved in a car accident back in 2006, he suffered a cerebral aneurysm.

And he confessed that he had a very difficult time in his later life.

I had horrible migraines when filming ‘Golden Rainbow.’ I was diagnosed with cerebral aneurysm. If my blood vessel expands and bursts, I’ll die. I don’t know when it’ll burst.

Jung Il Woo even had depression as a result.

I had severe depression, so I didn’t see anyone or even leave my house for a month.

Luckily, after crossing off walking the Camino de Santiago from his bucket list, his mindset about life changed.

I was anxious, which comes with this profession, but after that, I decided to enjoy my life in the present.
