INFINITE‘s Sunggyu has reportedly been injured and may not be able to participate in the group’s comeback promotions.


Reports are coming out that Sunggyu has fractured his ribs while filming an episode of variety show Singderella. During the show, contestants compete while singing and dancing in order to win food.

Due to his injury, Sunggyu will most likely not be able to participate in INFINITE’s Japanese promotions in April and Korean promotions in May.

Infinite is trying to minimize the impact Sunggyu’s injury has on the group’s promotions by modifying their activities to accommodate for his injury. Woollim has already discussed modifying the group’s music video filming scheduled for March 30 to put less stress on Sunggyu’s injury. The official said,

“Sunggyu cannot dance to the choreography due to severe pain in his ribs. Due to the fact that he will not be able to dance with his members we are probably going to have to change the content of the music video.”

*sigh* Most likely the last comeback before he enlists and he won't be able to enjoy it.

Poor him ): Just what did they tell him to do on that show?

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

Nooo, not the king of vocals 😟

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

How did this happen??

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Gotta wonder how the fuck they managed to do that.

Also, he still has two years before he is recquired to enlist, op. Although he might have planned to enlist after the contract expires, but now that he's injured, it's probably off the table. lol

how the hell does someone fracture ribs on a SINGING show?? and the mc at that.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

doesnt he still have 2 more years before enlistment? top a 87er enlist this year. kyuhyun an early(?) 88er also enlist this year. i dont think gd or taeyang (88er) will enlist this year. so he still have at least until the end of next year before he really have to enlist right?

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Yes, he doesn't have to enlist yet. And if he planned to do it this year, I guess with his physical condition, it's not so much a good idea anymore. lol

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

I could have sworn they said he'd enlist next year, but I guess end of next year would still give us almost two years. 🤔

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

no you're not the only one. i think they keep talking/teasing him about it and i just never get it bc i always think he still has at least few years left.

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

I thought he'd enlist in 2017 and would pass the leadership to Woohyun.

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

Wow, nice that Woollim is able to postpone all of Infinite's activities just for him but when Woohyun hurt his wrist, Sungyeol seriously injured his back, and Myungsoo fucked up his knee before promos they had to work through it. 🙃 Sucks that he injured himself (which I honestly find questionable since a fan saw him yesterday at the company building and he was perfectly fine, but whatever), but let's be real: that May comeback date was always a lie and Woollim just found their excuse to not go through with it.

[lalaland-xx.livejournal.com]

Yeah a lot of people are saying this is just mediaplay from Woollim... They did say it was a stress fracture so he might only be feeling pain when doing a lot of effort with his body... sigh I just hope that he is okay.

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

Then he can sit in a chair and promote. It makes no damn sense that something that happens now is apparently affecting something that's supposed to occur in over a month. Actual broken ribs take only 6 weeks to heal; Woollim wants me to believe a stress fracture is going to take longer? Give me a break.

[lalaland-xx.livejournal.com]

Well with an injury like that I doubt he can sing without feeling pain or slowing/worsen the healing process, I'm not a doctor though so Idk how long injuries like this take to heal lol. But I think they mainly were saying they would delay things because apparently they were scheduled to film the MV today? Idk this whole thing does seem sketchy tho

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

Lmao sorry for being a skeptic when the last time he was supposedly injured they lied about him being hospitalized for a month (a month!) and he was up jumping and dancing on it days after there was an on-stage pity party for him being unable to perform with the group. My bad.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

was this from got7 episode?
like I'm sad that he got injured, but this type of things happen when you've these physical games going on with people that are not athletes or have any preparation for it.

I didn't know there was a may comeback planned, but woollim is probably trying to squeeze everything they can before their contracts end, so it makes sense.
there were other instances when the members were injured and the comeback went as planned so I'm a bit confused here.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

This is gonna sound really dumb but would a rib fracture affect singing ability? I feel like it has to affect his breathing.
Cuz that's all I can think about with the possible comeback delay, if even sitting it out would not be of much help.

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

Not really. Proper breathing technique uses the diaphragm so your chest shouldn't move. You'd in theory also use some kind of compression vest or brace to make sure things aren't shifting around.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

yeah, I know nothing about how the injury could affect his singing or not. and I do think that every member's health should come first always. I'm just surprised that WL is postponing things this time when they didn't do it before. like what made them change and be a responsible company for once.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

I feel like they were semi-responsible with Hoya's injury. Only because I can't imagine Hoya not being stubborn and wanting to sit out the performances, so I imagine they had to force him to not perform instead of the other way around. Idk, I've never found Woollim to be terrible with the boys themselves (early starvation diets aside). Terrible at promoting them sure, but not with their well-being.

[lalaland-xx.livejournal.com]

I'm seeing a lot of "inspirits" getting upset at Sunggyu because He's getting rest when other members had to work through their injuries.... how is this his fault though?

I just really hope he's okay and gets to rest so he can join the comeback. I don't mind even if we get an MV like SHINee's 1of1 when onew was sitting all the time. :'(

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

Ugh, with "fans" like those who needs antis..

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

I'm appaled at some of these so-called "fans" reactions. Especially the fucking disgusting comments claiming Sunggyu' faking it or that he's lazy for not pulling through "for the sake of the group". You can all go fuck yourself tbh. Just because he's not writhing on the floor in a way that's satisfyingly painful and "convincing" enough for your little eyes and narrow-minded ableist minds doesn't mean he is not injured.

I don't care two shits if it's a rib fracture that's piercing his lungs or just a small crack that needs a bit of ice and a bandaid, injuries need to heal properly. I know a couple things about injuring oneself and rushing back without taking time to rest properly, and let me tell you, the consequences are not funny one bit, even if I don't look like I'm crying myself to sleep at night, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Instead of accusing of shit, or inventing conspiracy theories about Sunggyu, maybe you lot should redirect your anger at Woollim for NOT letting/forcing Woohyun, myungsoo, Hoya and co to rest when THEY got injured.

"Oh boohoo comeback might be delayed or not happen before contract renewal." or "being sad" that the MV will be modified/incomplete like Last Romeo or Destiny. Boohoo, cry me a river.

All these so-called fans saying they love them so much!!!1! their "oppas" or "hyungs" are so important and precious, need to be protected at all cost and blablabla but once they don't release a song when they want it and the way they want it, suddenly, their health is the bottom of the priority, and they're just products for your entertainment (which is technically their job, but the hypocrisy *snorts*...) that need to grit their teeth and just go with it "for the fans <333!!!". Yall need to re-evaluate your priorities and what kind of people you are.

This is like the Kris/Luhan thing all over again. Kris being accused of faking it because he didn't look ready to drop dead like Luhan did back then. Kris doesn't owe them shit, they buy exo's album or they don't, but his health is his business. The same goes for Sunggyu and anybody else. If Woollim lets him rest, that's good. Perfect. If they don't, they're shit, just like all the others time they didn't allow the others to rest.

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

You directing this at me? Because I couldn't give two shits if the comeback is postponed or cancelled or whatever. What I'm mad about is:

1) Where was this reaction/treatment when the other members were injured?
2) That Woollim keeps LYING. If they'd just admit they have no intent of having Infinite comeback before their contracts expire it'd be fine, but they keep duping and taking advantage of fans to keep what dwindling cash flow they have running. Give up this facade of "ot7" and let the group die a respectable death before shit hits the fan in June. Or don't, I guess, and let your fandom go nuclear and have the fallout affect the rest of your groups. Morons.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

Idek how you're invested enough to be mad. You seem to not like more than half the group members, hate the company, and your fave gets nothing to do. Feels like more trouble than it's worth to be this angry.

Fwiw, I wish your conspiracy theory were true and that Gyu was not injured.

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

I was gonna copy paste the relevant paragraphs but you beat me to it. lol My comment is long and is including different type of fans, you can see i'm talking about different attitudes although the division is not necessarily obvious to everybody (the skpetical one in the first two paragraph, and the "my fav is a traitordol or lazy if they don't dance on their two broken legs" type of fans in the rest). The two first paragraphs concern the "fans" i saw on social medias being skeptical of his injury, just like you, so the rest of the rant isn't particularly concerning you, so I really hold no particular importance if you care or don't care that they cancel or postpone the comeback, and I'm not particularly disagreeing with your first point (because I more or less said the same thing above lol). It's not like what we think is gonna have impact of their decision. And I have no particular feelings about this (or if they disband tbh they are not the first group I like who disbanded or have shitty treatment sadly lol).

But I know this is the internet and people will have opinions on everything but as someone who have an injury that didn't heal properly but still feel the pain even after years, this constant questioning or dismissive attitude some people have about the genuiness of our injury is more harmful than you can imagine that's why I went on a rant. Speculating on someone's possible injury? People need to stop jumping at conclusions immediately.

Maybe it will turn out it was exagerated and he just has a bruise or a little scratch? Maybe it's something more serious? I saw the fall, and I've seen people injured themselves more seriously for stupider reasons than that tbh, so I'm not gonna judge. Just like I said above, i don't care if it's minimum or heavy injury, I wish people (wether Sunggyu or others) go to heal if needed. Emphasis on "if needed." Because I know even the silliest injury can sometimes leave lasting damages and I don't wish it on anybody. If it's not a rib fracture, even if it's the dumbest little sprain, well good for him (for it not being a fractured rib)??? And bad publicity for Woollim?? I'm not necessarily saying Woollim is not lying about the reason they are gonna postpone or cancel, I'm not arguing with you about that. I just don't have strong feelings about these reasons:

tbh, I would rather prefer that no one is injured/it's fake and that it's a lie/bad pr move by a shitty company, than it being a real injury and the company ordering their idol to dance along to the choreo and worsening. If Woollim is just using this injury as an excuse to postpone the comeback, well... that's a shitty attitude (not that I hold them or other company to high level of esteem in the first place anyway), but they're not really harming me with their decision. If the album comes out, good. If it doesn't, I'll listen to something else. They can't scam me of my money if the album doesn't exist, you know.

edit: this turned huger than expected. lol But basically, I wasn't particularly arguing with the two points you just mentioned.
