On the morning of Sep 14th, Kwon Eun Bi took to the fan communication platform Weverse to share an update, writing, “Everyone, I’m okay. Please don’t worry too much.” She added, “It was a really light, minor accident, so I was only startled for a moment.

According to her agency RBW, Kwon Eun Bi was involved in a collision involving the vehicle she was traveling in while heading to a schedule on the previous day, Sep 13th. As a result, the Everline fan signing event scheduled for that day was canceled. RBW explained in an official notice, “Following the accident, the artist is taking time to rest while her current condition is being assessed. After taking the artist’s health and safety as our top priority, we have unfortunately decided to cancel the fan signing event.” Regarding her upcoming activities, the agency stated, “We will carefully assess the artist’s health and determine whether to proceed with or adjust the upcoming schedules based on her condition.”
Following news of the accident, fans grew concerned as details about whether Kwon Eun Bi had suffered any injuries or what exactly happened at the time of the accident were not disclosed, while the possibility of adjustments to her upcoming schedule was also raised. However, Kwon Eun Bi personally stepped forward to dispel those concerns, allowing fans to breathe a sigh of relief.
Kwon Eun Bi made her debut as a member of IZ*ONE, the group formed through Mnet’s audition program Produce 48 in 2018. The group’s lineup included several artists who would later become leading figures in the K-pop scene, including Jang Wonyoung and An Yujin of IVE, as well as Sakura and Kim Chaewon of LE SSERAFIM. Following the group’s disbandment, Kwon Eun Bi renewed her presence in the industry with her live performance skills and solid stage presence, particularly after her appearance at the 2023 Waterbomb festival. She subsequently established a charismatic and sensual diva image through songs such as “Underwater” and “Glitch.” On September 3, she made her comeback after one year and four months by releasing “DEJAVU,” a dreamy pop-disco track that teased a different side of her charm, across various music streaming platforms.
