Dam Tung Van - a famous Chinese actress known for the movies "My Fair Princess", "The Best of Us", "In the Name of Family" - recalled the origin of the scar in the corner of her mouth when participating in the reality show "Dear Inn" 2026.
In the program, another member noticed a clear scar on Dam Tung Van's upper lip and asked for the reason. In response, she first revealed that she had had a serious accident while filming.
According to Dam Tung Van's account, she had a sudden accident while filming an additional scene on the snow field. In the moment she stood up, the prop scratched her corner of her mouth, but the scene staff thought she was acting, so they did not call to stop filming.
The doctor diagnosed that the tissue in the wound was "only slightly adhered". If it was completely torn, she may have to undergo large-scale reconstructive surgery. Doctors carefully sewed her lip, but the recovery process was extremely difficult.
Dam Tung Van said that during her recovery, her face was swollen and deformed. The actress could not speak normally, had difficulty eating and was forced to temporarily stop filming to recover.
Dam Tung Van was both scared and haunted when looking at the wound, to the point of not daring to look in the mirror.
The actress also chose to silently endure. She isolated herself in the hotel, with only her older sister by her side taking care of her. Changing medicine every day became torture.
What makes many people even more heartbroken is that she hid it from her family. When her father called, she only texted and lied that "the work has been too busy lately, it's not convenient to talk", and then asked her manager and older sister to indirectly convey the situation.
Although Dam Tung Van did not specify the time of the accident, fans guess that the injury occurred during the filming of the TV series "Em dep than anh sao" in February 2023.
At that time, rumors appeared that her absence was related to a reputation dispute in the film. But with recent revelations, the real reason why the actress had to temporarily stop filming has been clarified as health problems.
Despite the serious injury and great impact on her work, Dam Tung Van is still quite calm when looking back at the incident. She said: "Everything is over. I am no longer too concerned.
Fans expressed sympathy and praised Dam Tung Van's resilience and professionalism after experiencing a traumatic injury.
Many people also reviewed her old works and expressed more appreciation for the characters she played, despite facing many difficulties behind the scenes.
This revelation also sparked wider discussion about safety conditions on film sets and the physical risks that actors sometimes face during filming.
