Singer and actor Junho opened up about his intense injury experiences during his 2PM days.

On October 5, the YouTube channel 'Yojung Jaehyung' released a video titled “When Did You Grow This Much...?”, featuring Junho as a guest sharing various stories.

During the video, Junho revealed, “Back then, injuries were common. While doing choreography, my ligament completely tore and left eight holes.”


He continued, “Getting stitches for injuries and torn ligaments was normal. My spine had issues at the 3rd and 5th discs, but the 4th vertebra actually broke. When I saw the X-ray, it was completely fractured. During a rehearsal, I suddenly heard a ‘snap’ and my head hurt so badly that I collapsed and couldn’t get up. That’s when I went to the hospital.”

At the time, he had to wear a back brace to allow the bones to heal. Junho explained, “Even so, I had to go on stage. I loved performing too much. It’s a different concept compared to now, but back then, it was a promise to the fans who came to see the show. I didn’t want to just stand there passively.”

He added, “Listening to music made me want to move. Even with my whole body swollen and moving slowly, the adrenaline reduced the pain. After finishing the stage, I had to be taken backstage in a wheelchair. I thought, ‘If I don’t do this, what else would I have?’ I felt so ashamed for myself back then.”
