Actress Lee Su-na has been unconscious since she was taken to Seoul’s Yeouido St. Mary’s hospital on Wednesday, KBS weekly show “Entertainment Relay” reported Sunday.
Lee, 69, who debuted in 1980 with MBC’s popular drama “Country Diary,” collapsed on Wednesday afternoon.
“She has been in the intensive care unit,” her daughter said. “I am shocked.”
The show reported that Lee had been on a range of medications for high blood pressure. The actress has also revealed in 2013 that she had suffered from depression after learning about her husband’s extramarital affair in 2003.
“I used alcohol instead of food for a year due to depression,” she told MBC’s “Three Wheels” program.
