SooYoung has been hospitalised after a car accident that occurred Sunday morning as she was on her way to a volunteer service event for the visually impaired in Chun An.

Reportedly,the accident was caused due to the negligence of a driver in the opposite lane,whose vehicle crossed the centre line and collided with SooYoung's,leaving her with injuries to her lower back area.

SM stated
"SooYoung is suffering from a sacrovertebal fracture from the car accident,but thankfully,the injury is nothing serious

SooYoung's doctor added that with treatment and rest,she will be fully recover in no time but has to suspend ll immediate activities to recuperate.She will thus not be able to attend the upcoming 'SM TOWN-Tokyo' and SNSD's concert in Taiwan.

With SNSD's anticipated Korean comeback round the corner,this may lead to a possible delay in promotions.However,waiting a little longer for SNSD's comeback is nothing as SooYoung's health much more important.
