Block B’s P.O Recovering After Traffic Accident in Jeju

Block B member and actor P.O, whose real name is Pyo Ji Hoon, is recovering after being struck by a passenger vehicle while crossing a street in Jeju. His agency confirmed that he received hospital treatment after the accident and has since been discharged, easing immediate concern over his condition.

The incident took place at around 9:56 p.m. KST on July 19 in Geumneung-ri, Hallim-eup, Jeju City. Emergency responders transported P.O to a general hospital in Jeju after a report was made about the collision, and he underwent care for injuries sustained during the crash.

P.O sustained injuries to his elbow and knee, including abrasions, as well as general body pain. The injuries were described as minor and not life-threatening, allowing him to leave the hospital after treatment. The update indicates that the immediate medical risk has passed, though a period of rest and observation is still expected after any traffic accident involving a pedestrian.

Police Review Continues After Jeju Collision

Authorities are continuing to examine the circumstances of the crash. Initial information from the investigation indicated that the driver was not under the influence of alcohol, and there were no signs that traffic signals had been violated at the time of the accident.

The driver was identified only as an individual referred to as A. P.O was reportedly crossing the road when the passenger vehicle hit him, prompting the emergency response and subsequent medical care. Police review is expected to focus on the sequence of events leading up to the collision, including road conditions, visibility, vehicle movement, and pedestrian positioning at the time.

Although the accident did not result in severe injuries, the case drew attention because P.O is currently active across music, variety programming, and acting. Even a minor injury can affect production planning when a performer is balancing multiple schedules, especially if filming requires long hours, repeated movement, or travel between locations.

Public updates so far have centered on his discharge and the absence of life-threatening injuries rather than detailed medical information. That limited disclosure is typical in celebrity health matters, where agencies often confirm essential facts while keeping treatment details private. For fans, the practical takeaway is that P.O is recovering and that his team is adjusting commitments around his condition.

Broadcast Schedule Adjusted During Recovery

P.O will not take part in the scheduled July 24 recording of tvN’s long-running variety show Amazing Saturday. The absence appears to be a precaution as he continues to recover from the collision and related body pain. Variety recordings can involve extended studio time, standing, quick reactions, and repeated filming segments, all of which may be difficult shortly after a road accident.

He is expected to resume planned work next week, including filming for the SBS drama Good Partner 2. That timeline suggests his condition is being monitored, but that his injuries have not forced a long-term halt to activities. Any return to set will likely depend on his recovery progress and production decisions made with health and scheduling in mind.

The update comes during an active period for P.O as both an idol and actor. In addition to his Block B profile and variety work, he has continued building his screen career through drama roles that keep him visible to television audiences. His presence on Amazing Saturday has also made him a familiar figure to viewers outside the core K-pop audience.

He recently appeared in the Netflix original drama Teach You a Lesson, playing Bong Geun Dae, a gifted deputy director at the Office for Teachers’ Rights. The series attracted notice for its focus on tensions and problems within the education system, adding another acting credit to P.O’s post-military-service career.

The accident also highlights the vulnerability of public figures during ordinary private movement between schedules and personal activities. While celebrity news often focuses on performances, releases, and casting, this incident was a reminder that off-camera safety issues can quickly affect both personal well-being and entertainment work.

For fans, the central update is that P.O has been treated and discharged, with no life-threatening injuries reported. The immediate impact is limited to a missed variety show recording, while his drama schedule is currently expected to continue after a brief recovery window. Further updates are likely to depend on the police review and his condition as he prepares to return to scheduled activities.
