Choi Jun-hee, the daughter of late actress Choi Jin-sil, has shared a concerning update about her ongoing struggle with hip bone necrosis, revealing that she is preparing for artificial hip replacement surgery next year.
On June 18, Choi Jun-hee interacted with followers through a “Ask Me Anything” session on social media. During the exchange, one fan asked: “Is your hip necrosis still progressing? I’m still struggling even after surgery.”
In response, Choi Jun-hee uploaded a screenshot of a hospital message regarding her treatment schedule. The message indicated that she had originally been scheduled to undergo a left hip replacement surgery on July 23, 2026, but had missed a prior outpatient appointment.
Addressing the situation, Choi Jun-hee explained that the operation has been repeatedly delayed. She wrote: “I keep postponing the surgery. It’s currently scheduled for February next year.” She also revealed the difficult recovery process she expects to face afterward. “I probably won’t be able to walk at all for several months.”
Despite the daunting prospect, Choi Jun-hee maintained her trademark humor and optimism, adding: “Once I get my robot joint installed, I’m going to exercise like crazy.”
Choi Jun-hee first disclosed her diagnosis of hip bone necrosis in 2025, sharing the severe pain and mobility issues she had been experiencing. At the time, she candidly described the condition’s progression, saying that recovery was not really an option because the affected bone tissue was continuing to deteriorate. She also revealed that the disease had already progressed beyond Stage 3 and that she frequently struggled to walk due to intense pain in her left leg.
Her honest updates drew support from fans, many of whom praised her resilience while dealing with a chronic and painful condition.
Despite her health challenges, Choi Jun-hee remains active on social media and YouTube, where she regularly shares updates about her daily life, fitness journey, and personal experiences. Her latest revelation has prompted an outpouring of encouragement from followers, who expressed hopes for a successful surgery and smooth recovery.
