Before and up to his elimination, Ollie was seen wearing a cast on his left hand.

According to Ollie, the injury happened during the show’s field day when he landed wrong while participating in one of the games.
Right, I have never told you why I was in a cast. It was during a sports meet, there was a game where you had to pull people onto a mat. I was being pulled. It was Jiwoong-hyung, right? He was pulling my leg, and I was falling backwards, so when he exerted his strength…I was lying down like this, and my leg got pulled up like this…and landed on my fingers. They were bended diagonally like this.

He says that he was in a lot of pain, and mentioned it to the production staff, who then told him to wait until filming ended. Ultimately, Ollie says he couldn’t handle the pain and went to an ambulance himself.
I was in so much pain, so I told them, “I’m in a lot of pain, I want to go to the hospital.” They were like, “It’s okay, it’s okay, take a break first and wait until the end of filming.” I told them I have a bone fracture. They said “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.” I was in so much pain. My hand felt like they were throbbing, like it was popping dancing. In the end, I said I couldn’t take it anymore and went to the ambulance myself.

After learning the truth behind his injury, many fans were left feeling anger towards Mnet, especially considering Ollie was only 16 years old at the time.
