South Korean pop star IU opened up about the intense injury she suffered during her recent world tour.
The artist reflected on the challenges she faced during a concert performance in a video she uploaded on her channel titled “IU’s Unseen Battle with Injury.”
After putting on a good show, IU said, “Honestly, I had a lot of pain in my leg today. This is difficult to see, but this was the first time I had to use this type of sports taping.”
Fans got to see her wrapped foot in tape.
She was hurt when her suitcase wheel got broken, which tripped and fell on her, injuring her foot. IU explained, saying, “In that instant, I cut the line of cable that goes up to my brain; I separated the situation of the foot from the brain. Performing was emotional. I cried anyway, despite having blocked this circuit.”
