Girls' Generation's Seohyun Shows Resilience as MC Despite Injury

Seohyun, a member of the iconic girl group Girls' Generation (소녀시대) and an actress, demonstrated remarkable determination by fulfilling her role as an MC at the '2024 KBS Drama Awards' while using a cane due to a leg injury sustained during the filming of the new KBS 2TV drama 'The Night of the First Date with the Male Lead' (남주의 첫날밤을 가져버렸다). Despite the challenges posed by her injury, she appeared in a stunning white dress and managed to host the event on December 31, 2024, leaving attendees and fans in awe.

The news of Seohyun's injury was revealed in an exclusive report by OSEN on January 1, 2025. Her commitment to her duties as an MC was particularly notable given the recent live broadcast cancellation due to the tragic Jeju Air incident.

Seohyun's situation has sparked discussions about the dedication of other stars who have continued to work despite injuries. For instance, actor Yoo Yeon-seok performed in the musical 'Hedwig' last summer with a leg injury, even donning a cast while keeping his promise to the audience. He shared on a web entertainment show that he had injured his leg during a performance but chose to adapt the script and improvise rather than cancel the show.

Similarly, Kim Nam-gil endured a wrist fracture while filming action scenes for the SBS drama 'The Fiery Priest' (열혈사제) in 2019. He continued to work quietly, ensuring that his injury did not disrupt the filming schedule, only revealing the extent of his injury later.

Comedian Park Na-rae also made headlines as the first female entertainer to suffer an ACL tear, which required surgery. Despite being in a cast and using crutches, she openly shared her experience on the MBC variety show 'I Live Alone' (나 혼자 산다) and continued to participate in the tvN show 'Line Up Restaurant' (줄 서는 식당), showcasing her resilience.

These stories highlight the unwavering spirit of entertainers in the face of adversity, inspiring fans and colleagues alike.
