Actor Ahn Jae-wook (53) recalled a past incident in the United States where he collapsed from subarachnoid hemorrhage and was on the verge of death.
Ahn Jae-wook had to suffer huge hospital bills due to subarachnoid hemorrhage.
At the time, he revealed that his hospital bills amounted to $450,000 (about 500 million won) and expressed his difficulty, saying, "Even if I pay it in installments, I still have to pay about 10 million won every month."
In Korea, hospital fees are fixed, but in the United States, there is a culture of bargaining.
Ahn Jae-wook appeared on SBS' 'Good Morning' in 2014 and said, "I am an actor, but I actually gave up on life when I was told that I would have to cut my head during surgery. I was in pain and went into the operating room, but I felt like I was sinning against my parents.
