The show made it very clear why the girl group is one of the main representatives of their genre, Kpop, they left all their talent on stage and enchanted the audience.
What no one knew was that moments before the group went up to sing the song “SCIENTIST”, Momo had an accident with a barrier installed behind the stage. The singer mentioned that because of the excitement of the previous show she forgot that the barrier was in that place and hit her forehead really hard.
The group comments that with the blow the singer bit her tongue very hard, blood was coming out and her mind went blank for a few seconds. “I felt like I was in a state where I thought I was going to lose my memory, so I went to Jeongyeon and shouted ‘What should I do?‘”

Despite the accident, the Japanese idol went on stage in pain, afraid that the song might be forgotten or even suffer another accident. The group of girls were very attentive and some of them even forgot part of the song because they were watching Momo on stage.
