Comedian Lee Jin-ho, who collapsed due to a brain hemorrhage, has been dedicating himself to recovery in a hospital for over a month.

According to a StarNews investigation on the 14th, Lee Jin-ho is currently hospitalized at a university hospital in Seoul. He was rushed to the emergency room after collapsing from a brain hemorrhage on the 1st and has been receiving treatment for 44 days.

Lee Jin-ho, who is experiencing aftereffects from the brain hemorrhage, is currently focusing on rehabilitation therapy at the hospital. Although he still faces difficulties with communication and movement due to partial paralysis, reports indicate his condition has improved to the point where he can engage in light conversation and move around. Fellow comedians are also said to have visited him to offer their support for his recovery.

Previously, Lee Jin-ho suddenly collapsed from a brain hemorrhage on the 1st and was urgently transported to a hospital. It was reported that the 119th ambulance was dispatched following a call from singer Kang In, who was on the phone with him at the time. Given the critical nature of his condition at the time, only his parents, siblings, and very close acquaintances were allowed to visit. His close friend, comedian Lee Yong-jin, also learned of the news and immediately went to the hospital.

Lee Jin-ho later regained consciousness and was transferred from the intensive care unit to a general ward. Medical staff are closely monitoring his recovery progress. Brain hemorrhages can leave lasting neurological damage even after initial treatment, making continuous observation and rehabilitation therapy crucial for a certain period.

Meanwhile, Lee Jin-ho is going through a difficult period as health issues have compounded his previous troubles with illegal gambling and drunk driving. He admitted to debts incurred from illegal online gambling in October 2024 and promised repayment. In September of the following year, he was caught for drunk driving, causing public controversy.
