What happened to Stray Kids?
On September 20, 2023, Stray Kids’ company JYP Entertainment released a statement saying that several members of the group were involved in a minor car crash.
“While returning to their dorms after a schedule on September 20th (Wednesday), the vehicle carrying Stray Kids members Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Seungmin was involved in a minor collision,” the agency explained in a statement.
“After the minor collision, Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Seungmin immediately visited a hospital and received thorough medical examination. None of the members and accompanying staff in the vehicle were seriously injured, but as they have sustained mild muscle pain and bruises, medical professionals have advised that they receive conservative treatment for the time being.
“We apologize for causing fans to worry with such sudden news,” the statement concludes. “JYPE will place the artists’ health as the highest priority and will provide everything we can to support their recovery. Thank you.”
The statement also listed the modifications in the group’s schedule. The sub-unit 3Racha, consisting of members Bang Chan, Changbin, and HAN will perform at Global Citizen Festival. Hyunjin and Milan’s appearances at Milan Fashion Week and Seungmin’s Birthday Youtube Live have been canceled.
Global Citizen Festival sent their support for the group. “Our support goes out to the members of Stray Kids and our hearts are with Stays everywhere,” the festival posted on X. “We’ll be joined on the Global Citizen Festival stage by Bang Chan, Changbin, and HAN, performing as 3RACHA.”
Just a week before the news, Stray Kids appeared at the 2023 VMAs at Prudential Center, New Jersey where they won Best K-Pop Group and performed their smash hit “S-Class.”
