iKON Fans are dead worried as of late especially the group's Japanese faithfuls as Chanwoo injured his ankle that awkwardly stretched his tendons. The mishap happened while filming the aforementioned music video that is part of their comeback stint.

In a press statement released by their talent agency YG Entertainment, Chanwoo's tendons were stretched after injuring his ankle.
