Yang Hyun Suk updates 'YG-Life' with details on Daesung's accident

Posted by VITALSIGN42 pts Thursday, June 2, 2011

On June 2nd, YG Entertainment's Yang Hyun Suk updated the YG-Life blog with his thoughts on Daesung's car accident. He also discussed 2NE1's upcoming release and "YG ON AIR". His message reads:

"The release of 2NE1's new song as well as this week's 'YG ON AIR' broadcast has been postponed for a week. We would like to apologize for not being able to alert our fans of this earlier, as it was a decision made under emergency circumstances. We ask our fans for their understanding. With regards to news of Daesung's car accident, we would first and foremost like to send our deepest condolences to the deceased and his family members. We pray that he rests in peace. I know that Daesung is the type to always blame himself for everything that goes wrong, so I was very worried about Daesung's condition after the accident. Just as I expected, he was holed up in his room, refusing to even talk to his family members. No matter what I say, I know that it cannot console him, but I visited his dorm in the early morning and told him, 'Daesung, if I was in your position, it would have been hard for me to avoid it as well.' I did not say that simply to console him, but because it is truly how I feel. At the time of the accident, the managers received emergency notification and arrived at the scene within 20 minutes. They were able to observe the scene of the accident. To briefly describe what happened, at 1:30 AM KST on May 31st, it was raining and a victim of another accident was lying on the road. A car ahead of Daesung discovered the victim and quickly swerved off the lane, but Daesung was unable to avoid hitting the taxi in front of him, resulting in a collision. Because it was so sudden, Daesung didn't know even after the collision that there was a motorcyclist on the scene. Though the taxi driver estimated Daesung's speed to be at 60km/h, Daesung testified that he was driving at 80. The truth will be discovered through CCTV evaluations and police investigations; yet because the taxi driver has long-time driving experience, and because people don't accelerate on downhill lanes, in addition to the fact that there was a turn at the end, I feel that the taxi driver's estimation is closer to the truth. I know that the pain Daesung is going through is incomparable to the agony that the victim and his family are feeling, but what I am most worried about is that this will bring about serious psychological trauma that will last months, years, or maybe an entire life-time. What I am most upset about is that Daesung had also been in an accident prior to this in 2009, where he had almost lost his life. That shock still has not worn off, and he's suffered yet another shocking accident. Maybe the shock will wear off well into the future... but this might be the most difficult time for Daesung. I honestly hope that accurate investigations will be carried out so that the weight Daesung is carrying can be lifted free. Thank you to all of you who are worrying over Daesung. I would like to once again send my deepest condolences to the victim and his family."
