In the second week of August, comedian Hong Yoon Hwa reported that the cruciate ligament ruptured during the filming of the entertainment program and underwent surgery. In addition, former marathoner Lee Bong-ju was reexamined for being diagnosed with incurable diseases after being injured in the back during filming.
On November 11, Hong Yoon Hwa announced through his agency JDB Entertainment that he was "diagnosed with rupture of cruciate ligament." It was an accident that occurred during the filming of the TVN story entertainment program 'Wrestle Queen' the day before.
Hong Yoon Hwa, who suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament, is reportedly going into surgery; it is said that the 'Queen of Wrestle' schedule will also be adjusted according to the surgical schedule. Currently, he is appearing not only in 'Wrestle Queen' but also iHQ 'Delicious Guys' and tvN 'Comedy Big League'.
'The Queen of Wrestle' starring Hong Yoon Hwa is an entertainment that deals with the match-making of women who dream of equality and catch the scourge. Wrestle is a sport that falls over the other side's legs. Not professional athletes but regular entertainers are exposed to injury threats throughout the shoot. On the 9th, Yang Jung-won was also injured during a Wrestle confrontation with Kang So-yeon and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Along with the news of Hong Yoon Hwa's injury, the fatal injury that Lee Bong-ju suffered in the past also climbed on the board.
Lee Bong-ju, who has been active in various entertainment programs since his retirement, suffered from unexplained pain in 2020 and was diagnosed with a rare incurable disease called "muscle tension disorder". Muscle tension dystrophy is a persistent muscle contraction that is not related to your will, and your body is abnormally twisted or repetitive.
"I keep getting cramps on my stomach," he said on a radio program after the outbreak. "It's hard to stretch my back because my muscles continue to pull. I can breathe a lot even if I walk a little. "
Lee Bong-joo's illness was noticed when it was announced that he had suffered a back injury during the JTBC entertainment program "Changing to Unify" Saipan battery training. He stopped working after the broadcast.
Last year, he underwent six hours of surgery for the spinal renal cyst, but there was no driveway. Lee Bong-ju appeared on a YouTube channel in March and said, "I have been going to the hospital so far, I have been to the clinic, I have been looking for a judge, but it is not effective."
The news of Lee Bong-ju's unfortunate injury led to the culmination among the netizens, and entertainment programs such as soccer, baseball, basketball, and Wrestle have already become a popular genre. However, it is pointed out that "the protection of the cast is not done properly" in the news of the injuries of the performers who are heard more than once.
It is also important to produce the same appearance as the actual game for the reality of the program, but entertainment is only an entertainment. It is necessary to find a proper balance between 'reality' of sports and 'fun' of entertainment.
