Car accident injures Park Yu-chun

 Park Yu-chun of JYJ has become the latest K-pop star to be involved in a car accident after working late into the night.

Ilgan Sports reported yesterday that Park’s manager, who was driving the star despite his drowsiness, crashed into the back of a truck at around 1 a.m. on April 26. The van was badly damaged and Park complained of neck and back pain immediately after the incident.

Still, he wasn’t able to see a doctor that day due to filming commitments.

“Park, like the rest of the staff and crew working on the drama’s set, only manages to get about two hours of sleep per night. The show is practically live as they are always strapped for time before it airs. Everyone is exhausted, and so I imagine that the manager was fatigued and in no state to drive,” said a source who works on the set of “Rooftop Prince,” in which Park is currently starring.

Fatigue-related car accidents are a common occurrence in the entertainment industry, and actor Jang Keun-suk was in a similar accident just days ago.

On hearing this, producer Shin Yoon Seop expressed his gratitude and said, “The series has just gone over the middle phase, and we are having a hard time shooting. But as we receive positive feedback from the viewers, we’re trying to cheer up and have fun shooting. I’m so grateful to hear that people outside the country are interested in watching our series, and it makes us feel more responsible shooting it.”

NBC Universal will broadcast the coverage to 33 million households in the Asia Pacific area, bringing the reputation of the series seven more higher.

The series builds more expectations as Park Ha (played by Han Jin Mi) has confessed her feelings for the prince (played by Park Yoo Chun) by texting, making viewers more curious about how their romantic relationship will develop. The next episode airs on April 25 at 9:55 p.m.
