On February 16, 2025, JYP Entertainment provided a health update regarding Stray Kids' Felix following his car accident on February 15, 2025.
In the latest update, the agency first apologized to fans for the delay in informing them about the singer's accident. The delay was attributed to a shortage of hospital staff on late-night weekends, which led to a delayed diagnosis.
They added that he was transferred to a general hospital for further evaluation, which revealed the fracture to be a childhood injury. The statement on the X read:
"Later on, following the medical staff's opinion, Felix was transferred to a higher-level general hospital where he underwent an MRI scan and was examined by specialized faculty. 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's a pinched nerve near that area."
The agency also assured the fans that it would closely monitor and adhere to the treatment plan, ensuring the artist's best possible care.
Fans rushed to the internet to share their prayers and best wishes for Felix's recovery. They also thanked JYP Entertainment for further clarification and timely updates regarding the singer's health.
