JYP Shares Update On Stray Kids' Felix's Health After Minor Car Accident

JYP Entertainment has shared an update on Stray Kids’ Felix’s health.

On February 16, JYP Entertainment announced that Felix had suffered a fracture after being involved in a minor car accident the night before.

However, later that day, the agency followed up with an update stating that after an MRI scan, “it was determined that the fracture line seen on the initial X-ray was a childhood injury and, at the moment, there’s a pinched nerve near that area.”

JYP Entertainment’s full English statement is as follows:

Hello, this is JYP Entertainment. 

We’d like to update our fans once again on the health status of Stray Kids member Felix.

After the accident, Felix was taken to a hospital near the concert venue where he had an X-ray examination and was noted to have a fracture. This was the information we announced to our fans. In order to ensure swift action, we first visited multiple emergency rooms. But as the accident happened late at night on a weekend, some places were missing medical staff and the inspection itself took longer than usual. Therefore, we weren’t able to notify our fans immediately after the accident. We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding of this situation.

Later on, following the medical staff’s opinion, Felix was transferred to a higher-level general hospital where he underwent an MRI scan and was examined by specialized faculty. Upon additional examination, it was determined that the fracture line seen on the initial X-ray was a childhood injury and at the moment there’s a pinched nerve near that area. 

Therefore, we will be keeping an eye on our artist’s recovery progress and will go through necessary treatment based on the medical team’s findings.

Our artist’s health and recovery are our top priority, and we’re working closely with the medical team to provide him with the care he needs in the best possible environment. 

We sincerely apologize to our fans who must be startled by this sudden news, and we’ll be doing everything we can to ensure a quick recovery of the artist. 

Thank you.

Get well soon, Felix!
