Earlier, it was reported that actor Kim Jae Won got into a motorcycle accident while filming a scene for his drama, 'I'm a Flower Too'. He sustained a severe shoulder injury, which prompted a decision to pull out from the production. On October 10th, Kim Jae Won's agency released a statement explaining Kim Jae Won's position on the matter. It read:
On the first day of shooting on October 4th, the scooter, which was supposed to have stopped, suddenly accelerated forward. In order to avoid crashing into the people around me, I stepped on the brakes and the scooter reared up to an almost 90-degree angle. I had to be rushed to the emergency room for a dislocated shoulder. After 3 rounds of close examination, it was discovered that the tendon and cartilage had been torn and there was a fracture in the bone as well. I was required to rest for 3 to 4 weeks, and would have to undergo surgery in order to prevent re-dislocating the shoulder. The director, writer, and I have worked hard to prepare this drama so my hope is that with 3 to 4 weeks of rest, I'll be well enough to finish the filming. All of us share a deep affection for the project, and I'm just sad that things turned out this way. I promise to do my best so that everyone involved can make the best decision. I want to deeply apologize to all the production staff members, fellow actors, and to all the fans who have been waiting for the drama for this unexpected accident.Currently, the production team stated that they have not yet decided whether to switch actors. Kim Jae Won has temporarily withdrawn from the production to tend to his recuperation, and production team will make a final decision after keeping an eye on his health. Stay tuned for more updates.
