"He regained consciousness after arrival at the emergency room in Yuseong-Sun Hospital. He complained of pain in [his] left and [his] back.

"There was no abnormality in the CT scan, only three fractures of the cervical vertebrae.

"He was transferred to the hospital of Chosun University in Gwangju that night and interviewed with a neurosurgery attending physician. The left-hand finger fracture was confirmed.

"He will be discharged from hospital two to three weeks after stabilisation and restoration because there are no other abnormalities. It will take two to three months to recover completely."
