She added, “As soon as I returned from the healing camp in Malaysia, I went to get Teddy's [her dog] haircut. It started raining in the parking lot, and while I was going to the trunk to get an umbrella, I tripped over the root of a metal pipe and fell face first on the concrete floor.”
“I was so embarrassed that I put my hand to my face and saw blood and ooze. Both dermatology and plastic surgery clinics are closed on Saturdays,” she said.
After the accident, she said, she went to a clinic in Oksu-dong, Seoul and received emergency treatment.

“Still, I'm thankful that I didn't break any bones. It seems like they're telling me to get some rest since I've been so busy. I couldn't sleep all night because I was wiping away the ooze. I hope it doesn't cause pigmentation,” she said.
She has since deleted the Instagram post.
Jeon Hye-jin competed in the Miss Korea pageant in 1991. She became an actress nad has appeared in dramas such as “Flex X Cop,” “VIP” and “The Dawn of the Empire.”
