Actor Lee Chae-young lightheartedly addressed her concerns about her health.

On the 7th, via her social networking service (SNS), Lee Chae-young posted an entry titled “Wrapping up my birthday week.” Having recently turned 40, she said, “They say you must get an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy starting in your 40s, so I made an appointment right away.”

She continued, “I have been making a big fuss for days before the exams,” and “As someone who loves wine and whisky, I am sure there are some friends called polyps. Everyone does this, but I am writing my will in advance,” easing her anxiety with playful wording.

She also explained what prompted her to start paying attention to her health recently. She is preparing for her directorial debut, and wrote, “Because I want to have what I love as my profession, trying to do things I had not done before has left me with many things to study,” and “Spending a lot of time reviewing materials and drinking a lot of coffee has made my sleep erratic and given me heartburn.”

She added, “My hands and feet have started to swell. It was a symptom that appeared only when I walked 30,000 steps a day while traveling, but these days it is the same even though a 10-minute walk is all I do. I became convinced that my health was not good.”

Lee Chae-young said, “Thank you to everyone who celebrated my entry into my 40s. Lee Bo-young and Lee Chae-young, both will try to live better.” Lee Chae-young has directed the film ‘Bunker’ and her directorial debut is imminent.
