An audience member was injured from being hit by a falling piece of the set at a taping for the new Mnet blind audition show, "The Voice of Korea."

According to the accident report, on February 21st while filming the duet missions, some structure on the set broke and fell forward hitting a member of the audience on the head. Luckily, MC Kim Jinpyo caught the falling set piece with his own hands and helped prevent an even greater injury to the audience member.

The injured person was immediately taken to the hospital and recieved a CT scan and a close examination. Thankfully, the doctor has said that there appears to be nothing wrong and the audience member was able to go home.

"The Voice of Korea" is based on the popular US blind talent show "The Voice" which stars famous musicians such as Christina Aguilera and Ceelo Green as judges. In order to make a more objective decision based purely on the auditioning person's voice, the judges can only turn to see them if they are offering them a place in the competition. The judges for the Korean version are Kangta, Shin Seunghoon, Baek Jiyoung and Gil of Leessang.

here for the fail 'based on the popular US blind talent show' line tbh. My Dutch pride is hurt.

why do stages/sets keep failing lately?

Us Dutchies aren't relevant. Just look at Ben Saunders lolol.

*gigglesnort* only relevant in DJ-land. It's terribly sad actually. We have some awesome artists. I'm rallying for Caro Emerald :<
At least Carice van Houten will succeed with Game of Thrones???

Only because she's showing off her, uh, "prized possessions". <_< But yeah, there's some great Dutch talent, but the Dutch version of the Voice obviously doesn't deliver with it's contestants and/or winners so that's why it's basically unknown that it's a Dutch programme in the first place I think. Though I wonder what that's like with the US version, I mean I haven't heard anything at all about the US winner.

and I'm not interested in their winner either so it goes both ways :'D
HAHA she's shown them plenty already. Then again, so has 50% of the cast in that show.
