According to MBC reps, Lee Bong Won was practicing for his upcoming competition at Goyang Gymnasium when he injured his face by hitting the water face first while diving, and was rushed to the hospital.

A MBC representative stated, "Lee Bong Won injured his face while diving and has severe swelling around his eyes. There were no permanent marks on his face or damage to his eyesight...We are currently discussing the possibility of him leaving the program. We consider his health as first priority."

Later on in the day, the comedian received his full diagnosis, which turned out to be orbital fracture that will take 3-4 weeks to heal. To make sure that it heals properly, he and his reps are currently considering surgery, which would make his leave from the show inevitable.

We wish Lee Bong Won a complete and speedy recovery.
