She was clearly wounded while on stage.
Koreaboo
A video featuring ILLIT member Wonhee during a recent performance has become a hot topic on social media.
ILLIT recently took the stage at the Inspire Arena to perform at their PRESS START Encore concert in Korea on October 17, KST. During the performance, Wonhee appeared to have sustained a minor injury on her knee, which started bleeding while she was still dancing. The idol handled the situation like an absolute pro and put on a band-aid later when she found the opportunity to sit down.
