Shin Jung Hwan is recovering from a successful surgery

Comedian Shin Jung Hwan underwent surgery for a leg injury recently, and it looks like he'll be discharged fairly soon. According to reports on February 9th, Shin Jung Hwan has been recovering from surgery for 6 days at a hospital in Seoul. Although the surgery was successful, the inflammation was worse than expected, so he was medically advised to use crutches to get around. A representative stated, "The inflammation in his leg is not visible from the outside, but the medical staff said it was more serious than they thought after they cut it open to inspect it. That is why the surgery took a long time. The results are positive, but we still have to wait about a week for further progress." Shin Jung Hwan got into a motorcycle accident back in November 2009, and fractured his right shin. Meanwhile, because he needed medical attention, Shin Jung Hwan is currently not facing detention due to his illegal overseas gambling charges. Source: BNTNews via Yahoo!Korea
