Comedian Jung Hyung-don will resume his TV appearance schedule, about a month after he took a break to seek treatment for his anxiety disorder.
코미디언 정형돈이 불안장애 치료를 받기 위해 휴식을 취한 지 약 한 달 만에 방송활동을 재개한다.
Jung's agency FNC Entertainment released a statement, Saturday, saying that the comedian, 42, has recovered sufficiently to return to broadcasting after receiving treatment and spending time with his family.
정형돈의 소속사 FNC엔터테인먼트는 토요일 성명을 통해 정형돈(42)이 치료를 받고 가족과 함께 시간을 보낸 후 방송 복귀가 가능할 정도로 회복했다고 밝혔다.
"He was greatly sorry to have caused concern with such a sudden withdrawal from the shows he was starring in and it was a big decision to return," it said, adding he had strong will to resume his TV career in return for fans' support.
이어 "갑작스러운 하차로 심려를 끼쳐드린 점에 대해 죄송한 마음이 커 복귀를 결심하기까지 고민이 컸다"고 말하며 정형돈이 시청자들에 보답하기 위해 방송 복귀에 강한 의지를 나타냈다고 덧붙였다.
Jung will pick up where he left off starting with appearing on the last episode of JTBC reality show "Carefree Kickers," which he has been starring in since the first episode.
정형돈은 1회부터 출연했던 JTBC 예능 '뭉쳐야 찬다'의 마지막 회 촬영을 시작으로 활동을 재개한다.
"Thanks to the show's production team and fellow cast members who patiently waited for Jung and kept his spot vacant, he will be rejoining the show," FNC said.
소속사는 정형돈을 끈기 있게 기다려준 제작진과 동료 출연진들 덕분에 정형돈이 다시 합류한다"고 밝혔다.
The comedian also withdrew from his TV activities in January 2016 due to anxiety, returning about nine months later.
과거에도 정형돈은 불안증세로 2016년 1월 방송 활동을 중단하고 약 9개월 후에 돌아왔다.
