NCT members Jungwoo, Jaehyun, and Johnny sustained injuries after a set collapsed while filming a PUMA commercial on Friday.
Members’ health status
SM Entertainment issued a statement on the incident and the members’ health status through the membership-based fan community KWANGYA CLUB, stating that the jungle gym structure that members Taeil, Johnny, Jungwoo, and Jaehyun had climbed collapsed.
Taeil suffered minor injuries and expressed his intent to rest rather than go to the hospital.
His bandmates were rushed to the hospital to receive treatment and examination. The band’s agency later assured fans that they had minor bruises and have returned home to rest.
As a result, Jungwoo will not be filming the December 10 broadcast of MBC’s Show! Music Core and NCT 127’s pre-recording schedule for ‘2023 SMTOWN LIVE : SMCU PALACE @KWANGYA‘ planned for December 13 has been postponed.
PUMA Korea apologizes
PUMA Korea has released an official apology, saying that they’ll take full responsibility for the accident. “We will do our best to investigate its cause, as well as ensure that such an occurrence does not happen again.”
NCT 127 was announced as PUMA’s newest Asia Pacific Ambassador in August.
