On January 19, 2024, Park took to Instagram to reveal that she had been hospitalized for "critical septic shock" that began as tonsilitis.

"As I sit here processing and recovering from the first few weeks of 2024, the only word I can think of is grateful," she wrote in the post.

"While on holiday in December into New Years, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs. I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told," she continued.

"Grateful most of all to @peforman for being unconditionally by my side through all this.

"You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know. I love you Paul. More than I can ever say.
 
"And I’m deeply grateful to every doctor and ICU nurse who worked tirelessly and especially the @JoaliBeing team for responding immediately and staying with me to provide language translations and vital support.
