The K-pop star was comforted on stage by his band mates

BTS made their live debut in the UK last night (October 9), performing a sold-out show at London’s O2 arena to a crowd of 20,000.

Jungkook, one member of the seven-piece K-pop sensation, broke down on stage after an earlier heel injury left him unable to dance.

Before the concert began, an announcement was made about the incident: “Approximately two hours ago following rehearsal and sound check, Jungkook was lightly stretching in the waiting room when he collided with floor furnishings and suffered an injury to his heel.”

The statement continued: “Medical staff immediately responded and performed the necessary treatment. The opinion of the medical team is that while the injury is not serious, performing choreography may do further damage to the injured area. Following the advice of medical staff, Jungkook will take part in the performance tonight but [will] remain seated without choreography.”
