Naver reported that Samija went to the 2026 Korea National Awards ceremony, where the appearance took place. She had trouble moving around. A video that was shared online showed the actress being helped by fellow actor Han Ji-il as she carefully walked through the venue.

Per Newsen, Han Ji-il posted an update on her health on social media along with the video. He said, "Senior 'Nation's Mom' Samija fell and is having trouble walking, so she is receiving help from her juniors. I hope she recovers quickly."

The video showed Samija moving slowly and leaning on a cane, with Han staying by her side to help her. People who saw her said that even though she was sick, the actress still made the effort to go to the ceremony, which showed how dedicated she has always been to the industry.

Reports say that Samija's recent fall has made people even more worried about her health. The actress has talked about serious health problems in the past, such as a heart attack in her 60s and a stroke in her 70s. Because of these past events, people are now paying more attention to her health.

Later, she became a well-known television actress. Some of her most famous works are "What is Love?", "Jang Hee-bin," "Cheer Up, Mr. Kim," and "You Are My Only Love."
