Toward the end of the video, he was seen back onstage seated on a chair while continuing to perform alongside his co-stars.

Explaining what happened, Pascual revealed that he had been dealing with a pre-existing knee injury before the mall show.

“For everyone asking… I’ve had an existing knee injury for a while already…. Because of the hype I jumped and landed on the foot with the bad knee for sometime.. It literally felt like my knee snapped in half. I thought I was on the road to recovery but turns out I made it worse: having it checked tomorrow,” he wrote in a now-expired Instagram Story.

He also thanked fans who attended the event and stayed with him despite the incident.
