[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] Famous BJ Gamst was injured during a broadcast and was hospitalized after undergoing examinations at a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a concussion and cerebral hemorrhage.


On the 15th, Gamst's side announced through the AfreecaTV broadcasting station notice board, "Gamst hit his head when the chroma key fell during his morning broadcast," adding, "Even after the broadcast ended, his head continued to hurt, so he went to the hospital and was told it seemed like a concussion, so he was admitted for now."


They continued, "They also mentioned signs of cerebral hemorrhage, so an MRI will need to be done tomorrow. Only then will we know the exact situation. For now, it seems difficult for him to broadcast today."


They also said, "To prevent anyone from cursing or calling this a lie like last time, we are uploading the video," and posted a clip of the accident.

The video showed Gamst in pain after suddenly hitting his head on the falling chroma key during the broadcast.


This appears to be in response to some netizens' complaints, as Gamst had recently decided to take frequent breaks due to issues such as vocal cord problems, urinary stones, and a stalking incident.



Meanwhile, Gamst is a famous BJ who started soccer broadcasts out of his passion for soccer and eventually became a promotional ambassador for the K League, achieving great success. In one broadcast, he revealed that his monthly income is about 200 million won. Many fans are expressing concern about his health condition, especially after his decision to take a break from broadcasting.
