Cube Entertainment announced today that PENTAGON member Hui (Lee Hoe-taek) suffered a nasal bone fracture during filming and will temporarily suspend all activities to focus on recovery.
The injury occurred on July 9 while Hui was participating in a ball competition segment for JTBC’s variety show Mungchyeoya Chanda 4 (Problem Child in House 4). Following the incident, he was immediately taken to a hospital, where he received emergency treatment. Medical staff have since advised a period of complete rest to ensure proper healing.
As a result, Hui will step back from all scheduled commitments, including his ongoing participation in Mungchyeoya Chanda 4 and any other professional engagements. Cube Entertainment emphasized that his health is the top priority and assured fans that they will provide full support throughout his recovery process.
The agency also issued a sincere apology to fans for any concern caused by the sudden news, expressing regret for the inconvenience. They promised to provide updates on Hui’s condition and return timeline as they become available.
This marks Hui’s first major injury since PENTAGON’s recent comeback with PADO: The World is Mine in May 2025. Fans worldwide have flooded social media with messages of support, wishing him a speedy recovery.
No further details have been released regarding adjustments to Mungchyeoya Chanda 4’s filming schedule or potential guest replacements. Industry insiders speculate that Hui’s absence may last several weeks, depending on his healing progress.
Cube Entertainment concluded by thanking fans for their understanding and patience during this time.
