Stray Kids‘ Felix was in a car accident on his way home and was unable to attend a fan meeting.

Felix’s agency JYP Entertainment stated on the 16th, “After the accident, we received an X-ray examination at a hospital near the concert venue and received a fracture diagnosis, and we have informed fans of this.”

They continued, “As a result of additional examination, we have confirmed that the fracture line seen in the initial X-ray was a scar from childhood, and that the nerve near the area has been compressed.”

JYP added, “Accordingly, the artist will be observing the progress and receiving appropriate treatment according to the medical team‘s opinions.”

Meanwhile, JYP stated on the morning of the same day, “After the fan meeting on the 15th, the Carnival Felix was riding in was involved in an accident with a shuttle bus traveling slowly from behind from the Inspire Arena parking lot toward the main lobby,” revealing that Felix suffered a fracture.


● Below is JYPE’s full statement

Hello, this is JYPE.

We would like to once again inform fans about the health condition of Stray Kids member Felix.

After the accident, an X-ray examination was performed at a hospital near the concert venue, and the results showed a fracture, and we have informed fans of this information.

In order to respond quickly, we first visited several nearby emergency rooms, but since it was late at night on a weekend, there were places where medical professionals were not available, and the examination took a long time, so we ask for the fans‘ generous understanding that we could not provide guidance immediately after the accident.

Afterwards, the medical staff decided that a more precise examination was necessary at a higher-level general hospital, so we received an MRI and treatment from a team of specialized professors. The additional examination results confirmed that the fracture line seen in the initial X-ray was a scar from childhood, and that a nerve near the area was currently compressed.

Accordingly, the artist will monitor the progress and receive appropriate treatment according to the medical staff’s opinion.

We are doing our best to provide the necessary treatment and the best environment by closely consulting with the medical staff, prioritizing the artist‘s health and recovery.

We once again deeply apologize to the fans who were surprised by the sudden news, and we will do our best for the artist’s speedy recovery.

Thank you.
