Actress Moon Geun-young will stop filming scenes for the SBS drama ``The Painter of Wind'' for one week, after she fractured her nose last week.

Moon sustained the injury while filming an argument scene with actor Park Shin-yang, Oct. 9 at the Korea Folk Village, Yongin. Park accidentally hit Moon on the nose with his elbow, and the actress had to be rushed to the emergency room for immediate treatment.

In a press release, SBS Drama said X-ray results showed a slight fracture of her nose. Doctors have advised Moon to rest for a week, so she stopped filming the drama temporarily.

Moon is starring in the drama as legendary artist Shin Yun-bok, who lives as a man to figure out the mysterious death of her family during the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910). She earlier suffered minor injuries on the set when she fell into a well.

Park was quoted as saying he was worried about the Moon's health, and wishes her a speedy recovery.

SBS will air re-runs of ``The Painter of Wind'' this week. New episodes of the drama will be aired next week.
