iKON’s Junhoe and Jinhwan are tending to minor injuries after they were involved in a car accident late last night.
According to Kyungnam Domin, Junhoe and Jinhwan were travelling in the van which was enroute from Sacheon to Namhae when the vehicle skidded on the slippery road and crashed into a retaining wall.
