SHINee Minho falls during "Dream Team" shoot

Boy band SHINee member Minho was injured yesterday during a recording for the second season of KBS sports entertainment show "Let's Go! Dream Team."

The 18-year-old singer, a regular on the Sunday morning program, had been taking part in a game when he fell off from a swinging poll and landed outside a styrofoam zone which had been set up for the safety of contestants.

"Minho has hurt his back from the fall but luckily, X-rays show that he hasn't suffered any major casualties," an official at the singer's agency SM Entertainment assured, adding that his injury will also not affect his upcoming activities.

He added however, that the agency will keep a close eye on Minho's condition and have the singer also undergo thorough examination as a precautionary measure.

Minho is one of the five members of Korean idol group SHINee who debuted in 2008 and gained popularity with K-pop hits such as "Older Girl, You're So Pretty," "Juliette," and most recently "Ring Ding Dong" which topped various music charts in Korea and other Asian countries last year.
