Currently, she is resting in a hospital in Seoul and Sooyoung’s doctor said that since her sacral vertebra (sacrum) was injured, it will be difficult for her to carry out activities in the near future. Because of her injuries, Sooyoung will be absent from the three ‘SMTOWN LIVE Tokyo Dome Concerts’, which will take place starting September 2nd. In light of this, it might also affect SNSD’s new album preparation and their upcoming comeback.

The hosts are expecting an estimated attendance of 10,000 Korean fans and 2,000 fans from foreign countries such as Japan, China, Taiwan and various countries in Asia, America, and Europe to fill around 120,000 seats at the concert venue.
The organizers, who are looking forward to the concert, stated, “It will be meaningful to have a Hallyu concert in countryside rather than in the city. Since many foreign fans will come to the event, it will probably have a positive effect on the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.” Currently, the lineup for the concert consists of SNSD, Super Junior, Infinite, BouHwal, Kim GunMo and Baek ChungGang. The concert will be free and the specifics about the distributions of the tickets are not decided yet.
