Lee Junho confessed that he went on stage for performances despite a spinal injury during his 2PM days.
On the 5th, on the "Yojung Jaehyung" channel, singer and actor Lee Junho appeared and revealed a variety of stories from his idol 2PM debut days to his new work "Typhoon Family".
Jung Jaehyung asked about injuries during his idol activities, and Lee Junho said, "My shoulder was torn, the labrum was completely torn, and they made eight holes. They stitched that up, and tearing of the ligaments is basic, and regarding the spine there are discs at 3 and 5, but the fourth vertebra was broken. I saw the X-ray and it was split in two. Suddenly there was a 'crack' and my head hurt and I collapsed, and I thought 'Why does my head hurt like this?' I couldn't get up," he said.
He continued, "I thought I should go to the hospital, so I went, and my spine was broken. The hospital said I had to wear a brace, but the next day was an overseas concert. What should I do? I was worried, but I still had to go on stage. I liked going on stage," he said.
Jung Jaehyung said in surprise, "You had that injury and still went on stage?" and Lee Junho said, "It was a promise. In some ways it's a different concept from these days," adding, "For me at that time, it was truly a promise with the people who came to see the performance. I could have just gone up and stood still, but I didn't want that. When I hear the music I move."
Asked, "The spine was broken—does that move?", Lee Junho said, "I wore the brace and my whole body was swollen, so I would move a little like this, but in that moment adrenaline came out and the pain lessened. After doing the stage like that and finishing, I would go down to the basement and move behind the stage in a wheelchair," adding, "I thought, 'If I don't do this, I have nothing.' I thought, 'If I rest because it hurts, how will people see a stage without me?' I felt a great shame toward myself."
