Personal life

On September 14, 2016, Ji Soo's agency Prain TPC revealed that the actor received surgery for acute Osteomyelitis (inflammation of bone or bone marrow, usually due to infection) on September 13, and that the surgery went well. He was recently suffering from leg pain with an unknown cause, so he went to the hospital the week before his surgery and received many examinations and treatments but there wasn’t any improvement so he got a diagnostic work-up on the 12th and the doctor said it might be bone cancer. Even before the results came out he experienced severe pain and had a high fever, his fever rose close to 40 degrees Celsius, so he was admitted to a hospital and the hospital staff hurriedly did a body scan and confirmed that it was acute Osteomyelitis thankfully and not cancer upon checking the MRI. He got into surgery at 16:00 (KST) and it ended at 21:00.[6][7][8][9]On September 27, a source of Ji Soo's agency Prain TPC said that Ji Soo returned to filming his drama Fantastic, although he hasn't fully recovered and is still hospitlized.
