Group Red Velvet's Yeri announced that she has been experiencing aftereffects from an injury sustained in a traffic accident 10 years ago and continues to do so until now.
On the 16th, a video on the YouTube channel 'Yerie Mies yerimiese' showed Yeri making pottery with Seulgi while recalling her past traffic accident.
Yeri stated that she was involved in a taxi accident on her way back to their accommodation after visiting an amusement park with Seulgi for Halloween on October 10, 2016.
Yeri said, "A taxi accident happened on our way back to the accommodation. I was seriously injured at that time." Seulgi also recalled, "I wasn't seriously hurt, but when I looked over, Yeri's mouth was bleeding. It was so shocking."
Yeri explained, "It was an accident where we turned sharply toward my side, so the driver and Unnie Seulgi weren't seriously injured, but I flew from the back to the front and collided." She added, "I was hospitalized and received treatment for a long time. After that, I had a trauma regarding cars."
She specifically mentioned that her eyes were severely injured. Yeri said, "The whites of my eyes burst completely red. In fact, my right eye has sunk in slightly. I was torn between whether to have surgery or not, but I decided against it. I'm just living with it."
She continued, "I was so depressed while hospitalized. It took a really long time to recover, and I had to pause activities for several months." She also revealed, "The news reported it as a minor accident at the time, but it wasn't minor for me. I was seriously injured." Yeri is known to have resumed activities about two months after the accident, in December of the same year.
She also stated that floaters, which appeared after the accident, have persisted for 10 years. Yeri said, "Since the accident, I've had symptoms like seeing little flies. They call it floaters." She added, "Even now, when I open my eyes, I can see small circles or something similar. They say there's nothing to be done about it. I'm just living with it."
Floaters are a condition where objects such as dust, insects, or threads appear to float in front of one's eyes and are also known as "fly syndrome." If daily life is not significantly affected, the condition is often monitored without special treatment.
