WINNER’s Yoon Earns Praise For His Professionalism After Injuring Himself On Stage
After their last release in 2020, WINNER recently came back with their long-awaited fourth mini-album, HOLIDAY.
After the mini-album was released, it topped the iTunes Worldwide Album chart in 18 countries.
To celebrate their comeback, the group held a countdown live, and live guerilla concert, HOLIDAY IN THE CITY, in Seoul.
During the show, they treated fans to performances of both recent and older songs, including “Really Really,” “Empty,” and “I LOVE U.”
About midway through their performance, the group sang a remixed version of their hit song “Everyday.” While dancing to the music, WINNER’s Yoon twisted his ankle. A fan caught the moment on camera; the video showed Yoon quickly playing it off.

After they performed “Everyday,” the group took a break to chat with the audience. Fans began noticing that Yoon was limping; he even reached down to grab his ankle.
He hurt and touched his ankle after Everyday remix 😢😥 after that I really focused on Yoon and he really tried to hide his pain and continue to sing 😥😥 #RestWellYOON#WINNER_HOLIDAYinTheCity @official_yoon_#강승윤 #KANGSEUNGYOON#위너 pic.twitter.com/AaI95tYaV3
