Wendy hospitalised following stage accident; the singer breaks her pelvis and wrist.
K-Pop star Wendy fell off the stage when she was rehearsing with her band for a Christmas Day performance at South Korean broadcaster SBS’s annual Gayo Daejun event.
The group’s management company SM Entertainment said in a statement that the singer, who was immediately take to the hospital for a thorough examination and emergency treatment, sustained injuries to her face and fractures in her pelvis and wrist on the right side of her body.
Following Wendy’s accident, says Eonline, Red Velvet didn’t perform at the concert; instead, a pre-recorded performance of Red Velvet performing their latest single Psycho was aired during the broadcast.
While confirming that Wendy is receiving treatment, SM Entertainment said on December 26 that it will focus on her treatment until she recovers and that the other four Red Velvet members will only participate individually, such as for their planned collaboration stages and MC role at the KBS Song Festival (on December 27) and MBC Music Festival (on December 31). Red Velvet will not perform as a group until Wendy is back on her feet.
