Yeri Rushed to Hospital After RED VELVET’s Latest ‘Inkigayo’ Performance

RED VELVET’s Yeri is set to undergo medical treatment for a slipped disc after completing promotions for the group’s latest track, “Chill Kill.” Despite severe back pain, Yeri continued to perform until the final stage on SBS’s “Inkigayo”, where she left the stage immediately. Fans later learned that she received injections for her back pain during the live segment, and Irene, the group’s leader, was also absent, likely accompanying Yeri to the hospital.

At a face-to-face fansign event, Yeri shared with fans that she suffered a slipped disc during the comeback preparations. She is currently undergoing injections for the back pain and plans to undergo full treatment once “Chill Kill” promotions conclude. Yeri expressed gratitude to fans for watching their last stage and apologized for not being able to greet them during the live show.

The incident brings attention to the physical toll the entertainment industry, particularly K-pop, places on artists due to rigorous routines and immense performance pressures. Yeri’s dedication to fulfilling her commitments despite experiencing pain underscores the challenges faced by idols in the industry. The situation highlights both the resilience of performers like Yeri and the need for greater awareness of the physical demands placed on individuals within the K-pop industry. As fans express support and understanding, Yeri’s openness about her health struggles also contributes to breaking stigmas surrounding such issues in the K-pop community.

In related news, RED VELVET leader Irene was allegedly injured during a chaotic airport mob incident instigated by fans and reporters. The idol group was en route to the Supersound Festival in Thailand following their performance at “Music Core” when they were met with an overwhelming crowd, leading to a situation that quickly spiralled out of control.
