Moon Hee-jun [Sidus HQ]

Former boy band H.O.T member Moon Hee-jun has been hospitalized from overwork, his agency Sidus HQ said on Tuesday.

Moon felt pain to his chest during a pre-recording a few days ago, presumed to be from overexhaustion from his recent busy schedule, so he went to a hospital to undergo more thorough examination, Sidus HQ explained.

The statement added, "He is not in as serious a condition as many people are fearing him to be in...... He will try to return to the screen as soon as he becomes healthy enough to."

Moon, 33, was the leader of his five-member band which was one of the biggest names in the K-pop scene in the late 1990s.

However, his band also composed of Kangta, Tony, Jang Woo-hyuk and Lee Jae-won disbanded in 2001 and sought personal careers since.

Moon is currently a regular on close to half a dozen variety shows and has been cast for musical "Audition."
