< Life Song Broadcast Accident 'Close Call'...Stage Collapses During Live Broadcast, MC Sul Lae Im Injury >

The summary of the headline of the article Do Wook had seen was something along those lines.

Sul Lae Im injured her leg badly enough to be hospitalized for 4 weeks, and Gae Na Ri ended up getting injured too as she tried to avoid Sul Lae Im, who was falling. That was the whole story of the accident from this broadcast.

The situation was aired to the entire nation because it was a live broadcast, and it became an even more widespread major broadcast accident as related videos were uploaded and spread online. Even Do Wook remembered being very surprised when he saw the video later.

Do Wook looked at Sul Lae Im who was standing next to him as he recalled the content.

Sul Lae Im, who was looking at the camera unaware of anything, and the stage floor she was standing on.

At that moment, the tile-shaped plywood that was glued to the floor caved into the ground and Sul Lae Im's body leaned. It happened in an instant.

Sul Lae Im was about to fall forward before she could even let out a shriek.

"Be careful―!!!"

As he yelled, Do Wook snached Sul Lae Im's wrist and pulled her. Sul Lae Im said "ow" and let out a quiet yelp.

She was pulled by Do Wook and fell into his bosom. The floor that she had just been standing on had completely collapsed. If she had stayed in that spot, if Do Wook was just one second late in pulling her out, she would have dropped directly to the ground under the stage.

Sul Lae Im looked at the floor, and her body started to tremble when she understood the situation.

The cast that were on the stage were also surprised and didn't know what to do. It was also true for Ahn Hyung Seo, who had moved out of the way to the left just in the nick of time.

The audience who had been watching the whole situation were in a big uproar. It was a relief that they didn't all get scared and scream.

The staff were in a state of confusion and waited for orders from PD Hyun Joo Hyuk, who was in charge of the whole set. PD Hyun Joo Hyuk, who had been watching the stage from the situation room, dizzily covered his head.

Thankfully, when Do Wook yelled to be careful, the microphone was turned off so the sound wasn't broadcasted. However, Sul Lae Im's short yelp was already broadcasted.

Next week's preview finished playing on the monitor and had not been able to move on to the next screen. It had been broadcasting a freeze frame for about 15 seconds.

...It was a major broadcast accident.

Nevertheless, PD Hyun Joo Hyuk had to be grateful that today's broadcast accident was only to this extent.

If the floor had collapsed and Sul Lae Im got hurt...It was too much to even think about it.

On PD Hyun Joo Hyuk's orders, next week's preview was played again. While next week's preview was aired on TV, the stage staff moved quickly and used left over different colored plywood as a temporary measure to fill in the collapsed stage.

"Are you alright?"

"······Ah."

Do Wook, who checked that the microphone was turned off again, grabbed Sul Lae Im's shoulder and gently asked her as he helped her up. Sul Lae Im couldn't respond properly and her hand that was holding the microphone was shaking. It looked like continuing on with the broadcast would be impossible like this.
