A Pink’s Na-Eun discusses the emotional and physical hardship she experienced due to ligament injury

A Pink‘s Na-Eun revealed her sentiments on her ligament injury.

A Pink had released their album ‘Hush‘ at the beginning of May, and member Na-Eun suffered from a ligament injury just before their comeback. The injury is in the same area where the singer was hurt right before the group’s debut. With their comeback coming up, Na-Eun had suffered from physical as well as mental stress, especially with the doctors warning her about her weakened ligament that has left her with an uncertain future in the performance industry.

In a recent interview with Newsen, Na-Eun revealed, “I’ve been injured there before so the ligament was particularly injury-prone.” She continued, “The hospital said, ‘The ligament is very weak. It’s in very critical condition.’ The injury hurt, but I felt especially sorry to my members, since our comeback was only 2 weeks away.”

Furthermore, she added, “In the end, because of me, we had to push back the comeback by two weeks,” and “I went to the music video shootings and practices, but I wasn’t able to perform properly.”

The other members commented, “It was really hard for Na-Eun emotionally. She was already injured physically, but the emotional toll was just as bad. We felt so terrible when we saw her in the apartment crying by herself.”

Na-Eun ended the interview saying, “I have recovered a lot. The members have been so helpful. It’s no problem going on the stage. However, I am being more careful so the injury does not recur.”

What nicknames did A Pink’s Hayoung make for Na-Eun and Jung Hyung Don?

On the May 23rd broadcast of MBC Every1‘s ‘Weekly Idol‘, A Pink, who recently made a comeback with their album ‘HUSH‘, displayed their spectacular variety show skills.

In one segment of this week’s episode, the MCs and the A Pink members spent their time verifying their online profile information, and it was revealed that Hayoung enjoys creating nicknames for those around her. In acknowledgment of her profile’s claim, Hayoung revealed that on behalf of Na-Eun‘s love for goguma (sweet potatoes) and tomatoes, she nicknamed her “GoTo Girl”.

After hearing this, MC Jung Hyung Don asked Hayoung to create a nickname for him, but Hayoung struggled to come up with one. However, upon noticing Jung Hyung Don’s tight-fitting pants, Hayoung nicknamed him “BaKkwak Boy”, which is a combination of bajee (pants) and kkwak (tight), embarrassing Jung Hyung Don.

On the same episode, the girls of A Pink showed a more down-to-earth side than their “fairy-like” image as they feasted on chicken legs and pizza.
