Kang Soo-yeon remains in coma after cerebral hemorrhage

Fans are praying for the recovery of actress Kang Soo-yeon, 56, as she remains unconscious after collapsing due to a cerebral hemorrhage.

Kang was taken to Gangnam Severance Hospital with cardiac arrest after collapsing at her house due to a cerebral hemorrhage on Thursday. Kang’s family decided not to undergo a surgery as the medical staff said there were a risk and little chance of improvement even after a surgery. She currently remains unconscious and was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) while on a ventilator.

Fans are praying for the recovery of Kang. They are writing messages of support under the articles about her news, such as, “You are the actress of our time. I hope you recover soon,” and “I wish you a quick recovery. You made my childhood days happy.” Other messages wrote, “I hope you regain consciousness. I hope to hear good news soon,” “Please wake up. Get well soon!,” and “You have only lived half of your life. You must live the rest half of your life.”
