Actress Park Shin-hye is back in the hospital from a car accident she got into early this week, according to her agency 4HIM Entertainment on Thursday.

An official at 4HIM told 10Asia over the phone that Park had returned to the set of her TV series "Heartstrings" yesterday after being hospitalized from the accident since Monday but had to halt the shoot mid-way due to "severe muscle pain."

Park had been admitted to the hospital late on Monday after the vehicle she was riding ran into a guardrail on a perimeter highway in the Gyeonggi Province and she had not suffered any major injuries but had been advised to rest longer.

"As of now, we don't know the exact cause of her pain as is the case with most car accidents in how the afteraffects will come days later," the official explained.

She then added, "We cannot tell when she'll be able to return to the drama but she is resting in the hospital right now and we'll have to see how she recovers."

With Park having been unable to wrap up yesterday's shoot, the episode set to go on air tonight will be replaced with a special program featuring the highlights from episode 1 to 7.

"Heartstrings," MBC's Wednesday and Thursday TV series waiting to air its eighth episode, also stars CNBLUE member Jung Yong-hwa.
