Actor Kim Do Hoon suffered a serious injury while filming for Tving's new drama , ' Dear X '. Kim Do Hoon's agency, PEAK J Entertainment, confirmed that the actor suffered a fracture in his left arm due to a motorcycle accident during filming.
" Kim Do Hoon suffered a fracture in his left lower arm while riding a motorbike during the filming of the drama 'Dear X'," said the agency representative, quoted from Soompi on Monday, March 24, 2025.
After having an accident, Kim Do Hoon immediately underwent surgery and is currently undergoing treatment at the hospital for recovery. Although his condition is stable, Koreaboo reports that the actor's recovery period is expected to last for 24 weeks.
This certainly raises questions about the continuation of the drama 'Dear X' and whether his role will be maintained or whether there will be a cast change. Kim Do Hoon, who is increasingly known for his role in the drama 'Moving', is scheduled to act opposite Kim Yoo Jung in 'Dear X'.
This drama is an adaptation of a webtoon that depicts the journey of a famous actress, Baek Ah Jin (played by Kim Yoo Jung), who succeeds through manipulative means but experiences downfall due to her own actions.
In this drama, Kim Do Hoon plays Kim Jae Oh, a figure who is always loyal to Baek Ah Jin's side and supports her in his own way. Based on a report from ZAPZEE , 'Dear X' is packaged in the melodrama thriller genre that highlights the dark side of life and a person's struggle to survive.
The character played by Kim Do Hoon has a dark background, where he experienced violence from his father and found a reason to live through his relationship with Baek Ah Jin. The drama is known to have started filming from late 2024 to early 2025 after the cast confirmation was announced in August 2024.
However, there is no certainty regarding how many scenes Kim Do Hoon had completed before this incident occurred. Therefore, the production decision regarding the possibility of changing actors is still a big question mark. In the Korean entertainment world, injuries during filming are not uncommon.
Actors often have to face risks when playing action scenes, especially in dramas that involve physical elements such as 'Dear X'. Unfortunately, this injury also has the potential to hamper the production schedule and cause script revisions and possible cast changes.
Kim Do Hoon himself has attracted the attention of the Korean entertainment industry with his work in various drama projects, including his role as Kang Hoon in 'Moving', as well as his presence in 'Your Honor' and 'Love Scout'.
'Dear X' is a significant project in her career, considering its more complex and layered role. With Kim Do Hoon still recovering, the production team of 'Dear X' will most likely have to consider various alternatives, including adjusting the filming schedule or even finding a replacement.
As of now, there has been no official statement from TVING regarding the steps to be taken. Fans also expressed their concern over the accident that befell the actor and hoped that he would recover soon. They also hope that the best decision can be taken so that the 'Dear X' project can continue without sacrificing Kim Do Hoon's health.
Meanwhile, 'Dear X' remains one of the most anticipated dramas, with its interesting story premise and talented cast. With this incident, the audience can only wait for further developments regarding the production decision and the fate of the character played by Kim Do Hoon in the drama.
