Felix, a member of the K-pop boy band Stray Kids, did not sustain a fracture in a minor car accident on Saturday, his agency announced Sunday.

JYP Entertainment said earlier on Sunday, February 16 that Felix was in a vehicle leaving a Stray Kids fan meeting at Inspire Arena in Incheon when a shuttle bus, moving slowly behind, collided with the left rear side of the car.

The agency initially described the accident as minor but said that the momentary shift in Felix’s weight onto his arm caused an impact with the armrest inside the vehicle, leading to what was believed to be a fracture.

Later Sunday, after a further medical examination, the agency clarified that the singer had not suffered a fracture.

“Upon additional examination, it was determined that the fracture line seen on the initial X-ray was a childhood injury, and at the moment, there is a pinched nerve near that area,” the agency said in a statement.

Due to the injury, Felix did not attend the band’s scheduled fan meeting on Sunday.

Stray Kids has been holding a series of three fan meetings at Inspire Arena, which began on Friday.
