According to reports, Jackson and Tao were both part of the basketball tournament while filming the '2015 Idol Star Athletics Championship' at Goyang Gymnasium, Gyeonggido on the 2nd. The two are said to have tripped during the game, and suffered pain in their ankle as a result. In addition to receiving emergency treatment on the side, they are both said to have been checked out at the hospital afterwards to make sure there was no further injury. 


Jackson's rep told TV Report, "Fans are expressing their worries at Jackson's ankle injury. [Jackson] received emergency treatment yesterday, and plans to receive in-depth treatment today. Because it isn't a major injury, once he receives treatment, it looks like he will be able to carry out his activities as normal."

Thanks to you, I gain strength and am able to work harder. I'm okay keke don't worry. There's nothing to worry about. I am also proud of myself for finishing the game until the end hehe.
