Three members of the K-pop sensation Stray Kids have been involved in a car accident, leading to significant changes in their upcoming tour schedule. Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Seungmin were in a minor car collision while returning to their dorms after a scheduled event, as per a statement from JYP Entertainment.
Fortunately, a thorough medical examination revealed that none of the members or accompanying staff in the vehicle suffered serious injuries. However, the three performers did sustain mild muscle pain and bruises, prompting medical professionals to advise conservative treatment for them.
JYP Entertainment emphasized that the health of the artists is their top priority, and they will provide full support for their recovery.
Due to this unfortunate incident, Stray Kids had to cancel their appearances at Milan Fashion Week and Seungmin's Birthday YouTube Live event. However, fellow Stray Kids members Bang Chan, Changbin, and HAN will step in to perform as 3RACHA at the Global Citizen Festival.
Global Citizen Festival confirmed this scheduling change on Twitter, expressing their support for Stray Kids and their fans, known as Stays.
Previously, Stray Kids shared their excitement about meeting musical stars at the 2023 MTV VMAs, where they won the Best K-pop Video award for their hit "S-Class." They mentioned their admiration for artists like Lil Wayne and Olivia Rodrigo and considered it a great honor to meet them on such a prestigious occasion.
