A ‘cerebral infarction’ is also known as an ischaemic stroke. According to the Stroke Association’s website, “An ischaemic stroke happens when a blockage cuts off the blood supply to part of your brain, killing brain cells. Damage to brain cells can affect how the body works. It can also change how you think, feel and communicate.”

The website goes on to say that “If you have an ischaemic stroke, you will be given specialist care and treatment, including medication to reduce your risk of another stroke. Afterwards, you should have support for your recovery. This may include medical treatment and rehabilitation therapy.”

As well as starring in Netflix series The Glory, Park Ji Ah had parts in Judge Vs Judge, Bloody Hart, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, Girl on the Edge, Cleaning Up and last appeared in the 2024 movie Hijacking 1971.
