MY Entertainment confirmed today that Kim Myung-min is slowly recovering from a fractured rib that he sustained while filming his latest movie, "Detective K".

The 38-year-old actor was injured by an extra while filming a martial arts scene at the MBC Yongin open set on November 1st.. Due to a severe breathing problem following the accident, Kim Myung-min was taken to a local hospital for emergency treatment and x-ray. He was diagnosed with a broken rib and was advised to take a one-month rest..

However, Kim Myung-min refused to allow the injury to interrupt the production schedule. Despite experiencing pain and difficulty in taking deep breaths and speaking in a loud voice, Kim Myung-min continues to film while exercising extreme caution and taking pain medication.

"Detective K" started production in September and it aims for a Lunar New Year 2011 release. It is a mystery-comedy movie that follows the adventures of Korea's Sherlock Holmes (Kim Myung-min) and his trusty assistant, Han Seo Pil (Oh Dal-soo) as they uncover the secret behind a woman's suicide.
