3rd Generation Female Idol Rushed To Hospital Following "Inkigayo" Performance

Red Velvet‘s Yeri is set to receive medical treatment for a slipped disc following the completion of promotions for the group’s latest track, “Chill Kill.” The young idol has been performing with severe back pain, as she revealed to fans after the group’s final performance on SBS‘s Inkigayo.

Fans had to sadly watch the young star leave the stage immediately after wrapping up their last music show performance on Sunday. It was later revealed by fans present at the pre-recording that Yeri would not be participating in the show’s live segment as she had to get injections for her back pain at the hospital. Irene was also missing from the segment, with fans saying the leader probably accompanied Yeri on her way there.
