What have you done to poor Myeongwol now!?

The other guys before me have had some good suggestions. I definitely think severe hypothermia is the way to go, assuming that the falling into the sea incident takes place in autumn/winter. It wouldn’t work in summer, I don’t think…

However, here’s a link to a page that details lifethreatening hypothermia  

The only thing I disagree with on that page is the part about warming someone up by taking off your own clothes and lying next to them. That doesn’t work particularly well (romance writers are very fond of it though). Here’s another one about myths (though it still mentions the body-to-body warming)

If this incident does, unfortunately, take place in summer, you could try heat stroke coupled with normal exhaustion and shock. It wouldn’t be directly linked to the water, but it would work. Though I’m not sure how hot it gets in settings inspired by old Korea?
