Taeyeon of K-Pop's Girls' Generation Falls Through Stage, Group Set to Release New Album Later This Year Without Jessica Jung

Taeyeon of the hit K-Pop group Girls’ Generation was rushed to the hospital after falling through a hole in the stage during a Taetiseo performance. This injury follows a recent announcement that the group is working on a new album to be released later this year that won't have Jessica Jung on it.

Taetiseo, the official subgroup of Girls’ Generation created by the hit makers at SM Entertainment, was performing at 24th Seoul Music Awards when the incident happened. While exiting the stage, group member Seohyun stumbled on the stage and merely seconds later, Taeyeon fell through a large hole on the stage. Audience members were panicking after a group of backup dancers ran to go help Taeyeon. No official statement has been made but it seems like both group members are doing okay with Seohyun suffering from a sprained ankle while Taeyeon has a pulled muscle.

This series of unfortunate events has come at a busy time for Girls’ Generation, with member Yuri recently announcing at a press conference that the group was working on a new album.

"Girls' Generation is slowly preparing an album. We are working hard to show a more mature image within the year. Please look forward to it," Yuri said.

This upcoming album will be the first to be released without member Jessica Jung, who got kicked out of the group in September. However, rumors have been flying the Jung is set to release a solo album of her own. A video uploaded to Instagram shows Jung recording in a studio with Jermaine Jackson, which has some speculating that she may be gearing up for a U.S. debut.
