South Korean actress Moon Geun-young's activities came to a sudden stop due to an emergency surgery, her agency, Namoo Actors, said Friday.

According to the agency, Moon, who is the main actress in a popular play Romeo and Juliet, had to receive an urgent surgery for compartment syndrome, a painful condition caused by blood pressure built up within muscles. The 29-year-old is to receive an additional surgery in two or three days.

Due to the surgery, schedules for the play to be held in the central and southeastern parts of South Korea Saturday and Sunday, are canceled. The agency said Moon's activities afterward are also not clear at the moment as her condition is very serious.
