2PM’s Taecyeon sent to hospital with Broken Arm 2013

I got a shock when I saw this piece of news.

2PM’s Taecyeon sent to hospital with Broken Arm
I thought it was some freaky stage accident again. But nay, Taecyeon’s broken arm happened while he was playing abit ofarm wrestling with fellow members.

For those of you who don’t know who Taecyeon is, here’s his photo.

Hmm, I think you can’t blame me for wondering who could ‘broke’ his arms! Anyway, hope he’ll be well soon enough to perform on stage again.

Actually, I think I was being paranoid because I recently stumbled upon a youtube video, a compilation of stage accidents and mistakes.

Some stage accidents could be labeled as ‘cute blunders’. But I think if you finish watching the video (and do a bit of follow ups on the rest), some are actually rather serious. It begins with Big Bang’s Seungri who got hit by fireworks,then there’s JYJ’s Jaejoong who fell off the stage (2:14), and Sistar’s Bora who fell with a huge thud (3:30)! Even the usually cool and composed CL from 2NE1 had a stage mishap(4:30). (Not to mention Shinee’s Onew and Minho, SNSD members’ numerous slip on stage at different occasion) 

While stage accidents are not uncommon, I attribute some of these factors to stage accidents :

1) Wet/slippery stage floor (pdn team ought to be hammered! I never forget Beyond’s freak accident in Japan which caused the life of the lead singer, 家驹）
2) High heels/slippery shoes (I wonder if the artistes/managers would hammer the wardrobe coordinators, often known as coordi noona/onnie)
3) Lack of sleep (what’s new?)
4) Not eating properly (Rumors are that idols, even the guys, are sometimes put on water diet or some weird diet program to look better)
5) Stress/sick (this is self-explanatory?)

f(x)’s Krystal ‘well-known’ stage accident caught on fancam is seen below. She fainted on stage while performing, and the scene really looked like something you only see in drama (0:50), leaving other members frantically trying to get her up.Most recently, Shinhwa’s Shin Hyesung dislocated his knee during their comeback concert. The entire ordeal was recorded by a TV crew who happened to be filming their variety show. It showed how Shin Hyesung popped out from the hydraulic stage, flew up and fell flat on the stage. He was carried down by staff and sent to hospital immediately.
