Felix from the K-pop group Stray Kids, has passed away. Recent news confirms that Felix was involved in a minor car accident on February 15, 2025, which resulted in a fracture but not life-threatening injuries.
On the evening of February 15, after attending Stray Kids’ 5th fan meeting, “SKZ 5’CLOCK,” Felix was involved in a minor vehicle collision. While his vehicle was slowly departing from the Inspire Arena parking lot, a shuttle bus moving behind collided with the left rear side of his car. The impact caused Felix to shift his weight onto his arm, leading to a collision with the armrest inside the vehicle and resulting in a fracture. He was immediately taken to a hospital for a thorough examination, where medical professionals advised adequate rest and proper treatment. Consequently, Felix was unable to attend the fan meeting scheduled for February 16. citeturn0search0
