HelloVenus’ Yoonjo suffers an injury before the music video filming

Rookie girl group Hello Venus has found themselves in an unfortunate predicament.

On May 2nd, an agency representative revealed, “Member Yoonjo suffered an injury while practicing two days before the music video filming. As it is an injury to a ligament in her leg, she will need at least three to four weeks of rest.”

With Yoonjo’s sudden injury, the other members will have to take to the stage without her for the time being.

Additionally, as she was injured before the music video filming, Yoonjo will only be appearing in scenes without the choreography.

“Although it’s not a serious injury, in order to show you a perfect image on stage, we have made such decisions,” her agency stated. “For the time being, the five members (without Yoonjo) will stand on stage, while on radio shows and interviews, all six members will participate.”

We wish Yoonjo a speedy recovery!

POOR YOONJO!!!! She trained so long and now this has to happen
I really hope she heals fast and one day all 6 of them can be on stage together.

MINI IS OUT!:http://k2nblog.com/mini-album-hello-venus-venus/

Lime is totally the new Amber omg...her voice is really low and cool!!!! (Listen to Hello)
Track 3 Excitement is a ballad track and a really moving one. I wonder if Lime is actually singing in this one. I hear a really unique low voice.
Track 4, Love Appeal, has a bit a feist and its really good too!!

The Title Track..surprised me..I was expecting full blown cuteness but the verses arnt that cute which is good.

This mini is really great for a debut

Did you all spot NU'EST in the MV? And I wish Alice's hair was more of a natural blonde, like Nana's

I like the MV a lot~ Now I'm gonna listen to the mini!
