Kim’s agency, Sidus HQ, said Monday that Kim was diagnosed with dysfunctions of the thyroid gland in February.

Sidus HQ said Kim will undergo necessary treatment and take a break from the filming of a new JTBC television series, “Clean with Passion for Now.”

The TV drama was originally set to air from April. It was confirmed in January that Kim would take the lead role alongside actor Ahn Hyo-seob.

The filming of the drama is set to be delayed due to Kim’s break from her schedule.
