Actor Han So-hee suffered a minor injury to her face and had to visit an emergency room on Wednesday, 9-Ato Entertainment announced Wednesday. The injury occurred while she was filming an action scene for the historical thriller series “Gyeongseong Creature."

“It’s not a severe injury that requires surgery,” the agency said. “Though her injury isn’t that severe to interfere with the filming schedule, we believe she has to take a little bit of time off from filming since the injury is on her face.”

Han is known for her passion for action and has received praise for her depiction of tough girl Ji-woo in Netflix’s “My Name” (2021).

“Gyeongseong Creature” is a thriller that takes place in the spring of 1945, when Gyeongseong, the old name for Seoul, was in its darkest era. Park Seo-joon also stars in the series. It is set to air on tvN next year.

Han debuted in 2017 and rose to stardom through the JTBC series “The World of the Married” (2020). She went on to star in JTBC’s “Nevertheless” (2021) and Disney+ original “Soundtrack #1.”
