Wonhee (16), a member of the group ILLIT, suffered an ankle injury.
On the 14th, ILLIT's agency, Belif Lab, announced through the fan community Weverse, "Wonhee suffered an ankle injury while filming this week and received hospital treatment, and the medical staff advised her to wear a brace for the time being and minimize excessive movements."
Wonhee, who suffered an ankle injury, is scheduled to attend the stage while sitting in a chair at the 'AliExpress 2024 Weverse Con Festival' to be held on the 15th.
The agency said, "The artist himself has a strong will to participate in all scheduled schedules," and added, "We plan to operate future activities flexibly, prioritizing the opinions of the medical staff and the artist's recovery." The agency added, "We will do our best to restore the artist's condition so that Wonhee can meet her fans in good health."
Wonhee debuted with the release of her mini-album "SUPER REAL ME" in March, and she was active with the title track "Magnetic" and the track "Lucky Girl Syndrome."
Recently, ILLIT has been embroiled in allegations of "New Jeans plagiarism" raised by Adore CEO Min Hee-jin. In response, Belif Lab is releasing a rebuttal statement and video, and is refuting the claim by saying, "It is not plagiarism."
In this situation, ILLIT members, who have been stigmatized as the 'New Jeans plagiarism group', are suffering from many malicious comments. Recently, Wonhee was seen directly reporting and blocking malicious comments during a live broadcast commemorating the 50th day, and it was reported that she visited the hospital due to poor health, causing regret.
