During the intense baseball match between KT Wiz and Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on April 16th, Chowon from the girl group ICHILLIN’ encountered a frightening accident. While attending the game with her fellow members, Chowon was unexpectedly struck in the back of her head by a foul ball, causing her to briefly lose consciousness. Thankfully, she regained consciousness shortly after receiving medical attention in the stadium’s medical room.
In response to the incident, KM Ent, the agency representing ICHILLIN’, swiftly took action by accompanying Chowon to the hospital for thorough examinations, ensuring her well-being and safety.
This unexpected turn of events resulted in the cancellation of ICHILLIN’s planned performance during the 5th inning’s cleaning break, as the focus shifted to Chowon’s immediate care and recovery.
Despite the setback, ICHILLIN’ continues to make strides in their music career, having recently released their third mini-album titled “Feelin’ Hot” in March 2024. The group, which debuted in September 2021, has been actively engaged in promotions and activities, garnering attention and support from their growing fanbase.
Fans and well-wishers across the K-pop community are sending their thoughts and prayers to Chowon for a swift and full recovery. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with live events and underscores the importance of safety protocols to ensure the well-being of performers and spectators alike.
As Chowon receives medical attention and support, the entire ICHILLIN team remains united, determined to overcome this challenge and continue pursuing their passion for music.
