7 Worst Injuries That Ever Happened To Girl’s Generation Members
1. Yuri’s ankle
Yuri had suffered a ligament injury in her right ankle during the SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR VI IN JAPAN in 2017. She gave notice of her injury to fans through a post with an image of her injured leg.
“I pulled a ligament in my leg😢😭but you don’t need to worry that much. Everything’s gonna be fine cause I’ve got Sone.. ♥ Thank you for being with me all the time~!” Even during difficult times, she never forgets to think of her many fans!”
2. Taeyeon’s Jakarta airport groping incident
Taeyeon was nearly attacked by fans at the airport in Jakarta when she fell down due to a lack of security. Although she did not suffer serious physical injuries, she had apparently suffered a great deal of trauma emotionally and the incident angered many fans.
She posted on her personal Instagram following the incident, expressing her shock and apologizing to her fans.
“At the Jakarta airport, there were so many people in a crowd as feet and bodies kept getting tangled up with each other. It was a dangerous situation where I fell on the floor shaking, and I couldn’t stop crying.
The local security guard must’ve thought it was a dangerous situation because he lifted me up from the back. But that in itself was also very baffling and surprising. I was already tense from the body contacts from both my sides and my back. I was disheartened that there was no order at the airport, and even the people who were waiting for me also fell down. Some of them may have even gotten hurt, so my heart does not feel good right now.
And it might not have been intentional, but parts of my body such as my butt and chest kept getting touched, bumped into, or grabbed…That feeling made me embarrassed and I couldn’t get a hold of my senses. Because of that, I couldn’t arrive at Jakarta, where I have not been for a while, with a good image.
I am so sorry to the fans who were waiting. Please keep order so nobody gets hurt. Our fans have more love, affection, and understanding for each other, more than anyone else, so I will consider today as a one-time event. I hope that no one gets hurt.”
