“V experienced pain in his calf muscles during rehearsal on the evening of October 23 and visited a nearby hospital for examination and treatment. It was the opinion of the medical personnel that while there was no issue affecting the bones in his legs, he should refrain from vigorous movement such as choreography or stage performance for the time being.”
The company also went on to say that V however ‘strongly wished to participate in the performance in full’ but was asked to follow the doctors’ orders and ‘minimise [his] movements’ during the performances.
