ITV/INSTAGRAM
Britain's Got Talent fans witnessed things go awry for the Ssaulabi Performance Troupe during Sunday's finale when one member inadvertently injured their leg.
Eagle-eyed ITV viewers saw the South Korean taekwondo artist, who goes by the handle @chaw._.chaw_ on social media, struggle to make it off stage after injuring himself during the high-octane routine.
The martial artist was pictured hobbling out of London's Hammersmith Apollo during the live final as he urgently sought medical attention.
In the end, the Ssaulabi Performance Troupe member didn't miss out on celebrating with his pals as the act ended up in 10th place - far behind eventual winner Sydnie Christmas.
Now, two days on, the BGT finalist has shared a series of painful-looking snaps from his hospital bed detailing the extent of his injury.
In the first snap, shared on his Instagram stories, the performer's leg can be heavily bandaged with a giant brace around it.

The second photo shared from his ward showed the adorable Paddington-themed gifts his pals had gotten him.
And in another snap, the entire Ssaulabi Performance Troupe stopped for a selfie with their unlucky colleague.
It isn't known exactly what the injury sustained is, with a spokesperson for Britain's Got Talent telling The Sun: "During (the) live final, a member of Ssaulabi Performance Troupe was injured.
"He was quickly seen by our onsite medical team before going to hospital for further treatment. All at BGT wish him a speedy recovery."
Sunday's Britain's Got Talent final still managed to move forward despite the injury.
Alesha Dixon did voice her concern for the unfortunate performer, however, wishing him well as she delivered her verdict on the routine.
The Ssaulabi Performance Troupe missed out on the top three as Christmas was joined by Jack Rhodes and dancing duo Abigail and Afronita.
Christmas saw off Rhodes as the finalists were then whittled down to two but found herself at the centre of a "fix" row among irked BGT viewers.
Christmas addressed the "fix" claims after her victory, telling OK!: "The public ultimately have to vote, don't they?
"They could have voted for whoever they wanted to win. It wouldn't have mattered if I'd gone first.

"I don't know what to say, soul-destroying isn't it? It's difficult, it takes it away from how hard the journey was or how rewarding the success is.
"They just think that, 'Oh, it's obvious it was given to her.' It really wasn't. I had to graft. I had to really graft and believe and want."
