Korean boy band U-Kiss member Eli was rushed to the hospital early this morning.

A press release from NH Media announced that Eli fractured a bone on his right arm after falling during dance practice and is currently in the hospital to receive medical attention.

"We are waiting for the results of the tests and we will find out if surgery will be required for his injury. As of now, we are uncertain of their upcoming activities,” an official from NH Media explained.

Many fans who have heard about the news have left messages on the group's official website and Eli's Twitter, wishing him a fast recovery.

Eli, whose real name is Kim Kyong-jae, made his debut as a member of U-Kiss (Ubiquitous Korean International Super Star) in September 2008 with the release of their single album "New Generation."

They have produced several songs including "Manmanhani," "Round and Round" and "What."

The seven-member boy band recently returned to the local music scene with their fourth mini-album "BREAK TIME," promoting the title track "Shut Up" which has topped several online music sites since its release in early October.
