Kim Go Eun recalled that she was feeling unwell during the session and ran out of the practice room into the hallway. But she collapsed near a pile of shoes just outside the room, and seeing this, Lee Sang Yi rushed to help her.
As Lee was running out of the room, he hurried tried to open the door and his big toe got caught in it, ripping out his toenail. The actor somehow managed to ignore his own pain and helped Kim Go Eun. Another classmate stepped in and carried her to the school clinic.
