SEVENTEEN - THE8
SEVENTEEN member THE8 suffered a broken bone.
THE8 fractured his left collarbone and was treated by medical personnel to wear a splint to allow the fracture to heal and minimize excessive movement until he recovered, Pledis Entertainment reported in an official statement on February 13.
“The artist’s willingness to participate in all scheduled times is very strong, but the company plans to flexibly manage future activities with input from medical staff so that the artist’s recovery remains a top priority.” , it said.
THE8 will wear assistive devices and participate in certain programs such as “Carat Day” live, Chinese fan signing events and fan meetings, while restricting their movements. The agency added, “We will do our best to heal and recover THE8 so that he can meet the healthy fans as soon as possible.”
THE8 from China debuted as a member of SEVENTEEN in 2015 and rose to popularity with songs such as “Home” and “Rock with you.”
