Singer Kim Jang-hoon was hospitalized yesterday after it appeared he suffered from a panic attack early Monday morning.
According to Kim's management company, the singer has cancelled all upcoming shows in order to undergo treatment at a hospital in Ichon-dong, central Seoul.
"[On Monday], Kim Jang-hoon complained of heart palpitations and said that he couldn't breathe properly so we cancelled all of his scheduled events and took him to the hospital", a company official said yesterday.
The company added that the hospital has confirmed that the singer suffered a panic attack and said he was advised by doctors to stay at the hospital for at least a week.
Kim has previously revealed to the media that he has suffered from an anxiety disorder since he was a child. A patient with an anxiety disorder can suffer from recurring panic attacks.
With this, the singer, who has been a strong advocate for Korea in the Dokdo islet controversy, will also have to cancel his appearance at events related to Dokdo Day (Oct. 25), including a concert at a Dokdo music festival.
