A member of K-pop boy band Golden Child who suffered facial fracture after being hit with a golf club last September is set to resume his career.
On Sept. 28 last year, Golden Child’s Choi Bomin “was hit in the face with a wood golf club that another person was using during a practice session. We immediately proceeded Bomin with emergency treatment and a detailed examination. According to the medical staff's diagnosis, surgery was recommended for his facial fracture, and we are currently coordinating a date for the surgery,” Woollim Entertainment, the group’s agency said, SBS News reported then.
It added, “Following the doctor's recommendation that Bomin should undergo rehabilitation following the surgery, he will focus on receiving treatment for the time being. Therefore, it will be difficult for him to participate in Golden Child's schedule for a while, and we will inform you of his return to activities in the future.”
On Feb. 13, the agency issued a statement to say that Bomin will resume his activities while he is still undergoing rehabilitation.
“We notify about Golden Child member Choi Bomin's health status and activities. Golden Child member Choi Bomin operated on the opinion of the medical staff due to a facial fracture in September last year, and his health has improved a lot with steady rehabilitation,” Woollim Entertainment said.
It added, “Currently, Choi Bomin is undergoing rehabilitation treatment, but he will participate in the upcoming Golden Child schedule and personal schedule after discussing with the medical staff.”
“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to many fans who have been worried, and we will do our best to support and work hard to focus on rehabilitation and health recovery until Choi Bomin recovers completely,” it said.
Golden Child went to Manila and performed at the “I-Pop U 2022 Manila” show held on Oct. 21 last year at the Araneta Coliseum.
