Rapper Lee Young-ji suffered an injury where her fingernail was torn off.
On the 23rd, Lee Young-ji uploaded a photo on her social account, saying, "Many have asked if I hurt my hand. My ring finger and pinky nail were pulled and raised. Warning: graphic... I covered the blood."
The uploaded photo shows Lee Young-ji's hand. The nail art on her pinky nail was torn in a right angle, separating from the flesh, shocking many.
Lee Young-ji stated, "To those who are shocked, don't think of it as a fake nail; think of it as a castanet. It's the same as a lid that opens and closes." She attempted to turn it into a laugh.
She said, "The scene of the injury was filmed. At 24 years old, I cried at the orthopedic clinic because of this. Anyway, I sacrificed two nails and gained an incredibly cool stage. KCON is on 8/1, please support it," revealing her situation of being injured while practicing.
In response to the flood of worries from fans, Lee Young-ji wrote a heartfelt message: "I'm the one injured, but since you all are more upset, I feel better. Don't let your feelings get carried away."
However, she soon added, "Honestly, I pretended to be cool, but I haven't pulled my nail out yet. It's still in a castanet state. It's dangling, and there's pus. As soon as the day breaks, I'll go to the hospital to pull my nail out, but since I'm 24 years old, I shouldn't be scared at all, yet I'm so scared. Please pray for me. I won't die tomorrow, right? If I go to the afterlife, I'll donate my assets to society. You all order some fried rice noodles. I'm seriously scared."
She continued, "I won't die, haha. Actually, if I just don't go to the hospital and put a bandage on it, I thought the nail would grow back on its own, but it's not working at all, and it keeps opening up. I asked ChatGPT, and it probably said I'm going to be in a lot of pain, so I should prepare myself. What a rude thing to say!" causing laughter.
Meanwhile, Lee Young-ji is scheduled to perform at 'KCON LA' held at the LA Convention Center from August 1 to 3.
