Dispatch reported on the reason for so many injuries at the Idol Star Athletic Competitions after observing yesterday’s filming.
They reported that many idols get hurt during the relay and it’s all because of the track they use.
Rather than using tartan track like other running tracks, the track at ISAC is made of just sheets of sticker pasted to the ground — and it’s really slippery.
Seventeen’s Jeonghan fell after turning the corner during a race. He hit the ground the wrong way and injured his wrist.
Oh My Girl’s Mimi also fell just before the finish line. You could see the idols running to the sidelines of concern for her.

She was visibly upset at the end of the filming, with her members comforting her.
NU’EST W’s Aron wasn’t an exception either. After the scary moment, he posted to Instagram assuring fans he was okay.
“Our LOVE! You were really scared earlier, right? I’m okay so please don’t worry so much. You worked so hard to day! Thank you so much for cheering us on for so long. Please head home and rest! LOVE is the best!”
