On behalf of Sooyoung, an explanation was given, “It was caused by the carelessness of the opposite party. The oncoming car crossed over the traffic lane and hit the car Sooyoung was in.”
After the accident, Sooyoung was sent to a nearby hospital for treatment. 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.
When the accident occurred, Sooyoung was on the way to a volunteer activity helping disabled people with their blindness.

In the latest development, a representative from SM Entertainment said, “She (Sooyoung) will not be attending the 2 concerts scheduled, but SNSD’s Korean comeback will be not affected. Because their comeback date has not been confirmed, we will ensure that the treatment to her injury is fully completed by then”.
