Off-camera, Do Ji-won is known for her humility and warmth. Industry insiders often describe her as gentle but determined — someone who approaches every project with respect and diligence. Despite her long career, she has maintained a low-profile lifestyle, preferring privacy over publicity. In interviews, she frequently speaks about gratitude — for her health, her fans, and the opportunity to keep working in an industry that can be unforgiving. Her modesty has only deepened the public’s affection for her.
In 2015, while filming “My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol,” she reportedly collapsed on set due to a temporary ischemic episode. Fans expressed widespread concern, and her quick recovery was met with relief and admiration. Her resilience after that incident only reinforced her reputation as a professional who never gives up, no matter the circumstances. This event also became a moment of reflection for her — one that reminded fans of her humanity behind the glamour of acting.
