Rising star Cha Joo Young, beloved for her role in Netflix’s The Glory, has shocked the industry by announcing a sudden hiatus due to a severe health condition. Her agency, Ghost Studio, confirmed that the actress underwent an urgent Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) surgery that could no longer be postponed.

The Terrifying Reality of Her Condition While many fans were surprised, Cha Joo Young took to social media to reveal that this wasn't a sudden illness, but a battle she has fought for five years. She shared "alarming" photos of sinks and basins filled with blood, explaining that her nosebleeds often lasted for over an hour without stopping. "I wake up and hope it's healed so this never happens again," she wrote in a heartbreaking post.

Impact on Career Due to the severity of the surgery and the need for general anesthesia, Cha Joo Young was unable to attend the premiere of her new thriller film Sister. Furthermore, her participation in the upcoming ENA drama Climax (starring Ju Ji Hoon) is now under observation as she focuses entirely on recovery.

Medical professionals stated that the surgery was unavoidable to prevent further dangerous blood loss. The actress is currently in the recovery and observation phase. Fans worldwide are flooding her social media with messages of support, hoping the "reliable actress" returns to the screen soon.
