During a recent filming of the popular variety show "Hangout With Yoo," former Lovelyz member Mijoo encountered an unfortunate incident that led to her hospitalization. The incident occurred while Mijoo was accompanying her castmate Robert on a trip to see the sea, an experience he longed for as there are no beaches in his native Slovakia.
Despite their excitement, the duo faced harsh weather conditions with strong winds and dropping temperatures. Robert remained enthusiastic, expressing his awe at the sea's power and nature's force. Mijoo, on the other hand, seemed apprehensive as the trip unfolded. Her concerns were justified when she accidentally hit her face with the car door, resulting in a swollen eye and a visible bruise.
At first, Mijoo downplayed the severity of her injury, driven by her commitment to continue the journey and ensure Robert's experience was fulfilled. However, as the pain persisted and her condition worsened, she realized the gravity of the situation. "I did not realize it was that serious," Mijoo later reflected, acknowledging her focus had been on their schedule and Robert's presence.
Despite her attempt to soldier on, Mijoo's injury necessitated a visit to the hospital for treatment. A concerned Robert, who had noticed her discomfort, felt guilty, but Mijoo reassured him that the mishap was purely accidental and not his fault. To lift his spirits, she suggested taking a celebratory photo of their outing.
After receiving medical attention, Mijoo candidly admitted to the doctor the extent of her pain. Although she attempted to maintain her cheerful demeanor, Robert insisted she prioritize her health and rest. Reluctantly, Mijoo agreed to his plea, promising to reunite with him once she recuperated.
True to her word, Mijoo picked up Robert the following day, and they continued creating memorable experiences together, including glamping and savoring a homemade meal in a serene forest setting.
As a familiar face on "Hangout With Yoo" since 2021, Mijoo's vibrant personality has endeared her to audiences. In addition to her role on the show, she is involved in other projects like "Sixth Sense," "New Festa," and serves as a host for "Weekly Idol," "TMI News Show," and "I Want to Be A Celebrity." Starting in January 2024, she is set to host a new show called "Couple Palace."
The incident with Mijoo serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of live filming and the genuine risks involved. It also highlights the dedication of entertainers like Mijoo, who often prioritize their professional commitments and the enjoyment of others over their well-being.
