In a startling incident that unfolded at the Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome, ICHILLIN’ member Chowon was struck by a foul ball during a baseball game. The event occurred shortly after fellow ICHILLIN’ members, Yejoo’s ceremonial first pitch and E.Ji’s first hit, pulling the attention away from the celebratory atmosphere to concern for Chowon’s well-being.
According to a spokesperson from ICHILLIN’s agency, the incident took place on April 16, during a match between the Kiwoom Heroes and KT Wiz. “Chowon was immediately taken to the medical room after being hit by the foul ball and briefly lost consciousness, but fortunately regained it shortly after,” the spokesperson revealed to Maeil Business Newspaper’s Star Today. The agency further confirmed that Chowon was quickly transported to the hospital for a thorough examination, along with team members and management staff, to ensure her health was not at serious risk.
The accident had an immediate effect on the scheduled activities for ICHILLIN’, who had a cleaning time performance lined up for the game. Regrettably, the performance was canceled due to the unforeseen event, leaving fans worried but hopeful for Chowon’s quick recovery.
ICHILLIN’, a group that made its debut in September 2021, has been actively promoting their music, including their latest mini-album, “Feelin’ Hot,” released in March. This incident has not only brought forth concerns for artists’ safety during public appearances but also highlighted the unpredictability of live events.
As Chowon undergoes further evaluation, the support from fans has been overwhelming, with many expressing their wishes for her swift and full recovery. This incident serves as a reminder of the vulnerabilities that exist even in controlled environments and the importance of effective safety measures.
Looking ahead, the focus remains on Chowon’s recovery and the well-being of the ICHILLIN’ members. The entertainment community and fans alike await updates, hoping to see ICHILLIN’ return to the stage with their energy and charisma intact. This event, though unfortunate, underscores the unpredictable nature of live performances and the resilience of artists in the face of adversity.
