The group's agency, JYP Entertainment, said the incident took place shortly after a fan meeting ended, when Felix's vehicle was slowly moving through a parking lot at the Inspire Arena in Yeongjong Island, Incheon. It collided with a shuttle bus that had been traveling at a low speed, striking the vehicle's left rear side.
While the collision itself was deemed minor, JYP explained that Felix's body weight shifted onto his arm during the impact, causing him to hit the car's armrest and suffer a fracture. Following the incident, he was immediately transported to a hospital for a thorough examination, where medical professionals recommended rest and treatment for his injury.
"Felix is currently resting and focusing on his recovery," a JYP official said. The agency also apologized for Felix's absence at the fan meeting.
Stray Kids have been participating in a three-day fan meeting at the Inspire Arena that began on Friday.
The octet attracted significant attention even before their official debut, having been finalists on the survival audition show "Stray Kids," which aired on Mnet in 2017.
In 2023, TIME magazine recognized Stray Kids as one of the "next-generation leaders," alongside various global innovators and entrepreneurs.
