[News] 2PM’s Taecyeon sent to the hospital for arm injury


2PM‘s Taecyeon is reported to have injured his humerus (the long bone that extends from shoulder to elbow) while arm wrestling with his fellow 2PM members.

JYP Entertainment left a message on their official homepage stating, “This May 15th, after finishing a promotional schedule in Japan, Taecyeon hurt his left humerus while arm wrestling with the 2PM members. Though he went to the hospital right away, because it was late at night, he received diagnosis, inspection, and treatment in the emergency room. Today (16th) in the afternoon after his arrival, he’s currently in the midst of getting a more detailed inspection at a hospital.

The message went on, “According to hospital results, it turns out that it becomes easier to injure or fracture bones during arm wrestling when the arm muscles become large due to exercise and etc., A few people come into the hospital for this kind of accident every year. [Taecyeon] is currently undergoing all the necessary inspections so we’ll update you when a more solid diagnosis becomes available.

We regret to inform all those who love 2PM with such disappointing news. We’ll do everything we can for Taecyeon’s quick recovery.” Taecyeon’s schedule will be determined upon the doctor’s diagnosis of his current condition.
