His agency told TV Daily on December 16, "After he finished filming TV Chosun's 'Bride of the Century,' he suffered injuries on his way back home."  It was revealed that after he finished filming, he went to eat with the staff members.  On his way home, he slipped on ice, dislocating his shoulder and fracturing his face, both of which would take 6 weeks to heal completely.  

In relation to this, TV Chosun's side said, "We will suspend filming for Lee Hong Ki's parts . . . Overall, we will be pursuing the normal filming schedule," assuring everyone that the drama was likely to still air in February.  In addition, the FNC Entertainment family concert, originally set for December 28 and 29, was postponed to next year.

Although most fans would be concerned about Hongki's current condition, there were a few netizens who posted malicious comments, saying the injuries were all an excuse so he could evade military service.
