Actress Jeon Won-ju expressed concern about dementia.

On the 29th, Jeon Won-ju appeared on TV Chosun's "Perfect Life."

That day, Jeon Won-ju began by saying, "I've been forgetting things more often lately. I can't recognize people or remember their names."

She continued, "Just the other day, I was embarrassed because I couldn't remember the person who treated me to a meal."

Jeon Won-ju had lunch with actress Seo Woo-rim. Recently, Seo Woo-rim, who had undergone hip surgery, worriedly asked Jeon Won-ju, "Are you okay? Don't walk too fast."

Jeon Won-ju also expressed concern for Seo Woo-rim, who has undergone three lung cancer surgeries since her first diagnosis in 2013. Seo Woo-rim explained, "Fortunately, it was detected in the early stages of cancer progression. I am recovering well without chemotherapy."

The two also shared their worries about dementia. Jeon Won-ju revealed, "I even forget where I put my house keys, and I can't remember if I put the items I bought at the supermarket into the refrigerator."

She also added, "A close classmate has been diagnosed with dementia. Just moments ago, they greeted me, then asked, 'Who are you?' Seeing a friend with dementia is so heartbreaking that I sometimes think it would be better to die."

After visiting a hospital for an early dementia checkup, Jeon Won-ju told the doctor, "Because I can't recognize people quickly, I get misunderstood a lot."
