P.O Hospitalized After Being Hit by Car in Jeju, Agency Confirms He Has Been Discharged

Block B member and actor P.O, whose real name is Pyo Ji Hoon, was involved in a traffic accident in Jeju and was taken to hospital for treatment. According to reports cited by Korean media, the accident occurred while P.O was crossing a road in Jeju City, with emergency responders transporting him to a nearby hospital. His injuries were described as minor, and his agency later confirmed that he had been discharged.

The accident reportedly occurred at approximately 9:56 p.m. while P.O was crossing a street in the Geumneung-ri area of Hallim-eup. Reports stated that he suffered abrasions around his elbow and knee as well as general body pain. Importantly, the injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision. Initial reports indicated that there was no evidence that the driver had been drinking or had violated traffic signals at the time of the accident. The driver was identified in reports only as “A.”

P.O’s agency, Artist Company, subsequently confirmed that the singer and actor had indeed been involved in a traffic accident while crossing the street. The agency also stated that he had already been discharged from hospital, providing some reassurance to fans concerned about his condition.

The accident nevertheless affected his professional schedule. P.O was expected to miss a scheduled recording for tvN’s variety program “Amazing Saturday” following the incident. His other filming commitments were expected to continue according to the original schedule, subject to his condition.

For fans who primarily know P.O as a member of Block B, the incident is another reminder of how extensively his career has expanded beyond music. Since debuting with Block B, he has developed a successful acting and variety career, appearing in projects including “Hotel Del Luna,” “Encounter,” “More Than Friends,” and “Mouse.” His natural comedic personality has also made him a popular variety-show personality.

More recently, P.O appeared in Netflix’s Korean drama “Teach You a Lesson,” continuing his transition between music, television, and acting.

His ability to maintain multiple careers has made him one of Block B’s most recognizable members, which explains the immediate concern following news of the accident.

At present, the most important update is that P.O has been discharged from hospital and his injuries were reported as minor. His agency has not indicated that the accident will lead to a long-term interruption of his activities.

Fans can therefore expect further updates based on his recovery and upcoming filming schedule. For now, the priority remains his health as he takes time to recover from the accident.
