Esports host Gwak Min-seon sustained an eye injury from on-stage fireworks during the PUBG Mobile Pro Series (PMPS) 2024 event, according to her agency Starit Entertainment, Thursday.
"Kwak Min-seon's condition is currently not good. She is undergoing detailed diagnosis and outpatient treatment. We are closely monitoring for any potential vision damage," said an official from her agency.
She was injured on May 12 while hosting an event at the eSports Stadium in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, when a firework from the stage hit her in the face, causing her to collapse.
She sustained injuries to her eye and the left side of her face and was transported to a university hospital for treatment.
Gwak debuted in 2016 as the youngest anchor at MTN Money Today Broadcasting, where she hosted shows such as "Profit Cheers."
She is currently active as an eSports host and was recently rumored to be dating football player Song Min-kyu who plays as a winger or a forward for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC and the South Korea national team.
