G.NA ended her series of debut stages for her title track, I’ll Back Off So You Can Live Better, on today’s Inkigayo.
As she was carrying out an impressive and powerful performance on stage, an unexpected accident unfolded.
G.NA’s microphone pack fell loose and she caught it just in time before it hit the floor. She struggled to set her microphone pack in place, but it was a difficult task for her since she was singing, dancing and giving it her all on stage. Eventually, she carried out the rest of her performance clutching onto the microphone pack.
Although an unexpected accident unfolded, G.NA definitely handled it well and stood strong throughout the performance.
Immediately after the broadcast, a representative from Cube Entertainment expressed:
“The accident was unexpected, but G.NA ended her performance well. G.NA cried right after she came off the stage because she vigorously prepared to showcase a perfect debut stage, which she felt like she didn’t do.”
G.NA notices something was wrong at 0:54 and later takes a hold of the dangling microphone pack at 0:58. Check out her performance below.
