Reporter Choi Jin-seok = Group Seventeen’s Seungkwan poses at the global press conference for his 8th mini album ‘Your Choice’ held at the Intercontinental Seoul in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 18th. 2021.06.18. myjs@newsis.com
Reporter Lee Jae-hoon = Seungkwan, a member of popular group ‘Seventeen’, is taking a break.
Pledis Entertainment said on the 3rd, “Seungkwan recently visited the hospital due to poor physical condition, and was told by the medical staff that he needed sufficient stability and rest.”
Pledis judged, “The artist himself has a strong will to be active, but according to the opinion of the medical staff, it is desirable for the company to focus on restoring his health for the time being.”
As a result, Seungkwan will be absent from future schedules for the time being, such as the Tencent Music Entertainment Awards (TMEA) 2023, a fan signing event in China, and Seventeen’s new tour ‘Follow to Seoul’.
Pledis added, “We will do our best to support Seungkwan so that he can meet fans in good health again.”
Previously, Seungkwan had been actively participating in Seventeen’s activities due to poor health after the sad news of the late Moonbin, a member of Astro, who was close to him in April.
