Broadcaster Ham So-won recalled the critical moment when she woke up in the intensive care unit following a traffic accident.

On the 20th, Ham So-won shared on her social media network details from the time of the accident through her recovery after surgery. She said, "I had already lost consciousness inside the car. Suddenly, it hurt so much and I felt extremely cold." She explained that "whether due to anesthesia or pain, the sounds seemed to come from very far away."

She continued, "Many people shouted from very far away: 'We need to transfuse blood. Quickly.' I knew they were in a hurry, but their voices sounded as if they weren't talking about me at all—they seemed so distant."

She added, "Someone said right into my ear, 'You need a blood transfusion quickly. If you don't, you'll die.' Only then did I understand: I must get a blood transfusion, or something terrible will happen."

Ham So-won later said that after she responded, "I'll have the blood transfusion," she lost consciousness again and woke up in the intensive care unit (ICU) without knowing how many days had passed.

After being moved to a general ward, she said she thought of her daughter Hye-jeong first. Ham So-won explained, "I absolutely did not allow Hye-jeong to come see me because I didn't want her to see me lying in the hospital bed with urine tubes, fecal tubes, and even wearing diapers."

Instead, she said she was permitted by the hospital to have a video call. She recalled, "I can see my baby on the other side of the phone. Thank you." She remembered their conversation: "When I asked Hye-jeong, 'Mom's house is always messy, so it's not good for you, right?' Hye-jeong replied, 'No, I don't like it. I don't like that I can't eat Mom's spaghetti. I want to eat Mom's spaghetti.'"

She continued, "It was nothing special, but my throat tightened." She revealed, "This is what quickly motivated me to get up in the hospital: 'I need to get up and go cook for Hye-jeong. I need to go do something that makes my child happy.'"

Ham So-won also shared images of her returning to daily life after being discharged. She said, "Seeing her eat everything so deliciously even when it's not tasty, watching her small mouth chew happily—it brings me so much happiness." She added, "I am truly grateful for today. My wish inside the hospital room has been fulfilled."

She further mentioned, "As soon as I was discharged, this is already my fourth time having spaghetti," expressing her affection for her daughter. Through comments, she also added, "It feels like I'm living again."

Meanwhile, it was reported that Ham So-won recently experienced an accident in which her vehicle collided with a utility pole while parking on a downhill slope. Diagnosed with a pelvic fracture from the incident, she is said to have undergone surgery at a hospital in Seoul.
