Wanna One's Lee Daehwi injures his ear during recent performance

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

During Wanna One’s performance at the 2017 Fever Festival on September 30, fans noticed that member Lee Dae Hwi appeared to be bleeding from one ear.

The group’s agency YMC Entertainment explained shortly afterwards to news outlets that the idol had scratched his ear on his microphone headset. He was given treatment, but also taken to the hospital to prevent any contamination from the metal headset.

The agency also released a longer statement that addressed the actions taken in regards to Lee Dae Hwi’s injury.

They explained, “The support fixture that keeps the mic in place fell off and scratched the top portion of Lee Dae Hwi’s ear, causing it to bleed.”

“He received emergency treatment from the medical professional on hand as soon as their performance was over. Once the event ended, he was immediately taken to the emergency room where he received additional treatment. The doctor ruled that it was not a severe injury, but just a slight scratch. He was given a tetanus shot to prevent the spread of any possible infection, and is currently resting.”

“We sincerely apologize for worrying the fans who were concerned about Lee Dae Hwi’s injury, and we will do our best so that all the Wanna One members can continue their promotions in good health.” (surejan.gif)

okay that blood was literally dripping onto his shirt and YMC still had him back on stage to shake hands with fans minutes later. i'm so mad at how the boys are being managed

It's really just a scratch, nothing to get too worked up about.

small scratches can keep bleeding but sometimes aren't too bad so i hope he's ok. good call on the tdap shot tho

if blood comes from a scratch on his outer ear area , then its notthing to worry about 😧

if blood was coming from inside his inner ear that would be so dangerous 😨


either way i hope in the future they take care better of him

It's not surprising that it bled so much, the head has a lot more blood vessels close together at the surface (less fat, tighter skin because it's wrapped around the skull) compared to say your arm, so it looks like a bad cut, but honestly this wasn't serious unless the inside of his ear was cut.

However, that doesn't take away from the fact that he should've been cleaned up and treated (honestly triple antibiotic ointment would've done the trick) before being sent back out on stage. Poor taste and management imo. Good thing he got that shot, it's better to be safe than sorry especially with tetanus. and god knows where those headsets have been

People were so extra about this. Head wounds bleed like a bitch; even when they're insignificant.

I freaked out because the drip looks scary. Thought it might be not serious, it must be terrifying for the rest of the member

How is this terrifying? I mean... I think they'll survive XD

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

for example a person with hemophobia would find it terrifying (extreme cases feel sick and even vomit after watching any kind of open wound or bleeding area)

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

Haha maybe for me, because i dont know yet about the exact cause, seeing blood dripping from ears like that makes me think maybe his ear was injured deep inside, and that's terrifying

Any time anyone bleeds it's concerning to me. Poor Rachel Berry, probably didn't even really notice since he was sweating
