BTS’ Jin and VIXX’s Leo were injured while filming for MBC’s “Idol Star Athletics Championship” on Monday.

The boy band members both suffered bruises to the face during a futsal match Monday afternoon. Both had nose injuries.

Jin received treatment at the set, while Leo was sent to a hospital for further care.

As this is the second time Leo has been injured on the set of “Idol Star Athletics Championship,” concerned fans have called for the program to be scrapped. Leo sprained his ankle in a 2013 futsal match, putting a major crimp on his performing schedule.

BTS’ Twitter account posted a selfie of Jin with the words “I’m Okay” and a hashtag saying “Listen to me, Army,” referring to the band’s fan club.

Leo was reported to be resting in his dormitory, but speculation has been growing as to whether he will be able to make scheduled appearances, including on SBS MTV’s “The Show” on Tuesday.
