Brown Eyed Girls member hospitalized

Ga-in of Korean girl band Brown Eyed Girls has been hospitalized, according to the group's agency on Tuesday.

The singer collapsed near the group's apartment around 3 a.m. this morning, Nega-Network said in a press release.

"We are worried because it looks a bit serious this time," an official at her agency was quoted as saying. "We will do our best to help Ga-in recover."

The statement explained that she had stayed up the past three nights shooting commercials and doing work-related activities.

The four-member girl group has since cancelled all of their schedules.

Brown Eyed Girls -- whose members are Jea, Ga-in, Narsha and Miryo -- debuted in 2006 and has had several No.1 hits, most notably 2008's L.O.V.E. and current chart topper "Abracadabra".
