Eli

7 September:

On September 6th, U-KISS performed at the KBS ’Open Music Festival‘ with member Eli, who joined them on stage after taking painkillers for his injury.

Originally, Eli was supposed to sit out the ‘Open Music Festival’ due to a knee injury he sustained last week. But as U-KISS’s turn to go up drew near, he became more and more determined to join them on stage. Although everyone around him was telling him it was okay not to perform, Eli was resolute in his decision to join his group.

Eventually, NH Media allowed him to get painkiller shots to lessen his strain on stage.

U-KISS will be making their official comeback through Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown‘ on September 8th.

3 September:

It’s just been reported that Eli sustained a knee injury during rehearsals, and must therefore miss initial comeback activities with the rest of his U-KISS members.

According to U-KISS’s agency, NH Media, the boys were preparing for their first comeback stage when Eli tore a knee muscle during rehearsal.

An associate of NH Media stated, “Eli has been ordered to stay in bed and rest for at least 10 days. We’re planning on going forward with just six members instead.”

They added, “The choreography of “Neverland” requires power and technique, so it could have resulted in Eli’s injury. As a result, we’re planning on changing the choreography“.

Meanwhile, U-KISS revealed their new album on the 1st and recorded #1 on album sales chart. They’re slated to have their first comeback performance on the 8th through Mnet‘s ‘M! Countdown‘.
