INFINITE, Hoya

Initially, Woollim Entertainment assured fans that Hoya's ankle injury, sustained during 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook,' was not that serious and would not affect his promotions.  However, it now appears the injury was more severe than first thought, which might affect his future schedule.


The results of a thorough medical examination showed that he pulled a ligament and his cartilage had become infected, so that the overall injury was more serious than expected. 


On August 1, one rep said that Hoya would need to wear a cast for one to two months and was advised by the hospital to take a break.  The problem is that INFINITE will be having their small-theater concerts 'That Summer 2' starting on August 7.

While the agency is taking into consideration changing up the placements and positions out of a concern for Hoya's injury, it was revealed that Hoya was set on performing and was willing to take painkillers to continue on as is.


The rep said, "The other members are working hard to modify the placements for Hoya through last minute rehearsals, but Hoya's always had a strong will, so we have not reached a definite conclusion as of yet."


Meanwhile, all of the shows from August 7 to 10 and 14 to 16 have been sold out.
