The company also explained that TAG would be continuing to participate in music shows with the team, albeit on a chair. They reassured fans that he went to the hospital after the schedule and received treatment. Fans have been expressing their concern for the injured TAG.
However, Korean Goldenness are claiming a different story. They question the need for the company to blame the incident on fans or other people, when it could have been a pure accident. The path to the venue was also clear as evident in a video taken by a fan.
People can sprain their ankle just walking, why are they blaming others;; I’m at a loss for words;;;

As the dissent from Korean Goldenness towards Woollim Entertainment grows, the company has not yet retracted or edited their official statement. On the other hand, fans globally are sending their love to TAG, hoping for a speedy recovery. Get well soon, TAG!
