Hyundai's in-laws Baek Ji-yeon is worried about fatal lung injury in the emergency room due to inhaling toxic gases



Former announcer Baek Ji-yeon revealed the dizzying accident.

On the 27th, a video titled 'A word from the doctor who caused Baek Ji-yeon who was struggling in the emergency room' was posted on Baek Ji-yeon's personal channel.

In the released video, Baek Ji-yeon "There was something absurd not long ago. I have an anecdote about making a stupid mistake."




Baek Ji-yeon "I was so tired from the hard work that I decided I would eat my lunch nutritiously and rest in the afternoon without doing anything. I trimmed the chicken, and after dealing with living things, putting scissors or knives in the dishwasher doesn't solve it. I want to sterilize it by boiling it. So I put the chicken scissors in the pot and boiled them, and my friend called me. I forgot to set the alarm while talking on the phone, and after finishing the call, I fell asleep because I was tired."

Then "I kept coughing while I was sleeping. Then, the acrid smell passed through my nose and I woke up suddenly, and I smelled a strong chemical. The plastic part of the scissors handle is burnt. I drank all the toxic gas. I woke up, put out the pot, made a fuss, opened the window, and I was about to die. I thought I shouldn't be in this house, so I went outside to get some fresh air, but my chest aches and I keep coughing, and my headache is severe and painful.'

Baek Ji-yeon "I called a close doctor and he said he had to go to the emergency room. I was lying in the emergency room, and I felt a sense of self-destruction for regret. I was so stupid and upset. My body was so distressed, too. I was worried and upset about what if I got a fatal wound to my lungs. But the doctor's words 'It's okay' comforted me. The doctor looked like an angel. I thought I should do it to myself from time to time"He confessed.




Baek Ji-yeon, who was born in 1964, passed the open recruitment of Munhwa Broadcasting (currently MBC) announcer while studying psychology at Yonsei University in 1987, and became the first female anchor in the history of the News Desk in 1988.
