Whee In Hurt Her Cornea During '2022 Incheon Airport Sky Concert'
On September 24, Whee In caused worries to K-pop fans especially MooMoos (fandom) after the female idol reportedly suffered an eye injury during a concert.
In particular, MAMAMOO performed at the "2022 Incheon Airport Sky Concert K-pop Concert" in Incheon. All is well until fireworks were lit in front of the stage. Amid the quartet's performance, a firecracker powder went into Whee In's eyes.
Although the star tried to open her eyes and continue the performance, the pain seemed very severe that even singing with her eyes closed seemed difficult.
