She was receiving vocal training for 'Generation of Youth', but a fire forced her to jump out of the building to escape. A staff member who happened to be outside parking saw smoke and gas seeping out from the windows. Seeing the danger, the staff member did his best to prepare a place the actress could jump onto on the terrace of the 2nd floor of the adjacent building, and the actress made a jump from the 3rd story of the building she was in onto the terrace.

The firefighters had arrived by then and were able to rescue all 10 or so people in the building who had been trying to evacuate from the other side.
The staff that was present praised the actress' ability to remain calm and bravely make the jump, commenting, "Even though she was in a situation where she couldn't see even a bit because of the toxic gas, Jin Se Yeon reacted calmly and avoided a situation that could have ended in a serious accident."
She was tested for carbon monoxide poisoning as well as for her lung functions afterwards. She's currently resting after being released from the hospital. For fans that became worried after hearing the news, her label said, "She breathed in toxic gas, so we have to watch her situation for a day but she has no injuries. She is currently at home resting. However, she is still in a state of shock so she needs rest."
Seemed like a very close call! We hope the actress as well as all those who were in the building are getting the rest and treatment they need to be back to feeling 100%!
