B.A.P’s Himchan Suffers Injury To Ribs + TS Addresses Future Participation In Promotions

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

B.A.P’s Himchan has suffered a minor injury to his ribs.

On March 15, their agency TS Entertainment informed people of the news through the group’s official fan cafe, along with an explanation of what’s to happen with future performances.

They stated, “Himchan felt pain in his chest area following the live broadcast of MTV’s ‘The Show,’ and was immediately taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with having a crack on [one of his] ribs as the result of a stress fracture.”

“According to the diagnosis, the injury was not the result of external factors, but was instead ruled to have been caused by sudden weight loss and the amount of practice in preparation for their comeback, which appeared to be too much for the rib to handle,” TS Entertainment continued.

As for future performances and promotions, Himchan will continue to perform with B.A.P, but only vocally. He will not be dancing as “it’s best to avoid exercise and excessive movement with a stress fracture.”

While the situation is not ideal, TS Entertainment explained that it was the compromise made after much discussion with the idol himself, who strongly wished to continue on with the group’s performances as it’s their first comeback in a while. In the meantime, the agency “will continue to consistently monitor Himchan’s condition, and pay meticulous attention.”

I hope he gets well soon! Hate to say I told you so, but this is what happens when you sign with Taylor Swift Entertainment. Taylor Swift should apologize!

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

[baekpedaling.livejournal.com]

Nooooo not again.
Get well soon, Himchan. I hate to see him get hurt.
Hoping it was really his decision to continue tho really his ass should be resting

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

that health tag has been getting a lot of posts lately :(

[agjingi.livejournal.com]

oh poor boo and he was really getting his shine on this comeback, more lines his haaaair
i'm so sad he felt so much pressure to look skinnier and it resulted in this :(

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Does it ever end? I hope he'll be alright, this is disheartening.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

BAP don't deserve all this, after all they've been through, the lawsuit, and they're back to being overworked, on crash diets, and sick? I feel so bad for them :( I hope he gets all the help and support he needs :(

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I had feared something like this was gonna happen. Knowing how he feels about his body and the reactions from so when he had a little bit of weight on him. Get well soon Himchannie.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

Omg poor guy. I hope he recovers well. BAP as a group, I feel like they can't catch a break =\

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

i have a feeling this isnt the first time he has some injury
i hope he gets some rest soon ... old injuries not managed at time can lead to surgery

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

damn this group never seems to catch a break and have a normal promo period :/

[joyseul.livejournal.com]

i feel so awful for himchan...after his injury during one shot era he said he felt sad that he wasn't able to perform so i understand his wanting to participate but i'm so worried he's going to overdo it even more. their world tour is coming up in 2 weeks and there's no way he'll be able to participate fully in that either :(

the fact that part of his injury is due to sudden weight loss is infuriating. himchan getting fatshamed by both members and fans has been so often brushed off...it's been obvious for years that himchan has insecurities about his weight and now this happening feels like in some way the other shoe just dropped

himchan getting fatshamed by both members and fans has been so often brushed off

It was so messed up to see how casual the members were in their fat shaming. Even when it was so damn clear that it was upsetting him. That fans can be so disgusting came as no surprise but I expected better from the members.
Foolish of me because it's obvious that they struggle with a lot of insecurities, weight and colorism being the more apparent issues.

[obviousgirl.livejournal.com]

Colorism? Do tell.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Daehyun specifically has severe skin color insecurities. I mean, he's deleted photos because fans were calling him dark and making fun of him for it, then uploaded the same pic with a filter that whitened his skin. Unfortunately, a lot of the comments regarding his skin color have come from fans via Instagram.

[joyseul.livejournal.com]

mostly from fans towards daehyun 1 (http://himdaes.tumblr.com/post/148194363243) 2 (http://uglybabyz.tumblr.com/post/148103662941/left-picture-daehyuns-original-uploaded-pic) 3 (http://itsbap.com/post/148244479939/)

[obviousgirl.livejournal.com]

Guessing this is why we haven't had seen tan BAP in a while.

[luminous-wings.livejournal.com]

Like the others said it's mostly Daehyun and his so called fans.
I don't know if it's an issue he struggled with before or if it's the fans that messed him up, but the poor kid even wears sunscreen indoors and when he goes to sleep. Heartbreaking really.

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

The one thing that really pissed me off was win fans were telling the guys that they should stop calling Himchan fat and pig and Daehyun and Zelo basically mocked the fans saying they were sensitive.....ummm really? That's how you see your fans who are concern for how you treat a fellow member??

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

The thing is, that Daehyun said on camera that he got scolded him because of what he said, as did anyone else who talked shit. So fans who brushed it off is funny to me, because Daehyun basically admitted it and said that people should be careful with their words.

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

God damn you TS. Im already upset from things going on and work and then now this. This is making me furious! Poor baby. Get well soon himchan. It's gonna be a long recovery.

[luminous-wings.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping that this is really Himchan's decision and not TS pressuring him. How is this gonna work out with their world tour? Is he really going to get the rest he needs?
Don't even get me started on how this is due to his sudden weight loss, it's heartbreaking.
Get well soon sweet Himchan <3.

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

I never thought that sudden weight loss can cause damage to your bones, the explanation sounds terrifying. Hope he gets better quickly

[buckleyourboots.livejournal.com]

It's so upsetting to think of how much his weight struggles must affect him to end up getting injured like this. I hate that everyone around him seems to routinely compound his insecurities. I hope his stubbornness to continue doesn't make it worse. :(

[obviousgirl.livejournal.com]

Apparently this one is on Babyz at least that's what some fans are hinting at on FB. Apparently since last year fans have been telling (at fan events and high touches of all places) him that he's fat and needs to lose weight and apparently some fans even ignored him at these events. Way to go Babyz kick your guy while he's down. Poor guy. It's obvious he's has body image issues since before he even became an idol that right there should've been grounds for them to shut the younger members down on the fat shaming.

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

Wow... stress and weightloss caused it!? Hope he can rest well and get healthier.. t.t

[bauci.livejournal.com]

Jeasus, that sounds terrifying. I hope they allow him to actually get healthy :(

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

He was exercising with his trainer, so I thought the weightloss was steady and he was staying healthy, but I guess I was wrong. :( It's understandable that he doesn't want to sit out the events though considering the One Shot era and how it (and mostly shitty "fans" with their attitudes) affected his self-esteem (doesn't mean that I agree with his decision, I hope he gets proper treatment).
