Car crash that happened to an idol this month of 2022

It is unfortunate news but PENTAGON’s Yeo One will be temporarily taking a break from activities after being victim to a drunk driving accident.

Yeo One, a singer in South Korea's Pentagon band, will be taking a break from "future album promotions", as he recovers from a back injury caused having been a victim of a drunk driving accident. "Until Yeo One recovers from his injury, Pentagon will temporarily continue promotions as seven members," read a statement from Cube Entertainment who manage the band.

His agency, cube entertainment shared this sudden news yesterday. On the official statement cube shared:

"On the early morning of February 9, while returning home after wrapping up an individual scheduled activity, he suffered a car accident from the vehicle of a drunk driver.

He should have rested at home after visiting the emergency room and receiving medical treatment immediately after the accident, but due to a diagnosis of minor symptoms and Yeo One’s personal strong will, he appeared on the live broadcast of “Idol Live School: Homecoming Day” on the afternoon of February 9 following discussion.

The artist’s fast recovery and health are our priorities, so inevitably, Yeo One will be halting future album promotions, and he has decided to focus on recovering from his injury."
