Gong Hyo Jin recently opened up about a harrowing experience during the filming of the drama ‘It’s Okay, That’s Love,’ where she suffered serious injuries from a three-car collision. In a video shared on her YouTube channel on December 24 titled “What Does Hyo Jin’s Christmas Look Like?”, she detailed the incident and praised her long-time friend for her support during this tough period.
During her video, Gong Hyo Jin reminisced with a friend she has known for over 20 years. She shared:
“We used to model together. When we were 18, we would go to magazine shoots wearing our school uniforms.”
Reflecting on their friendship and her accident, Gong Hyo Jin said:
“She’s been in my life for so long. During the filming of ‘It’s Okay, That’s Love,’ I had a serious traffic accident where I broke my arms and legs. My friend rushed to help me and stayed by my side every day. I couldn’t even wash my hair or change clothes because my arm was in a cast, but she helped me with everything. When I think back, I’m so thankful for how much she endured with me.”
She further revealed the depth of their connection and the practical help her friend provided:
“We’re like sisters—our birthdays are just two days apart. Since we’re the same height, she even stepped in as my body double during the drama. For a scene where Jo In Sung had to carry me, she took my place because my injuries made it impossible for me to film.”
The accident occurred in 2014 while Gong Hyo Jin was returning to Seoul from a filming session of the SBS drama ‘It’s Okay, That’s Love.’ The three-car collision on the highway left her with significant injuries, necessitating her friend’s support through her recovery period.
This story underscores the strength of friendship and the challenges faced by actors behind the scenes. Gong Hyo Jin‘s gratitude towards her friend highlights not just their personal bond but also the sacrifices often made in the entertainment industry.
