TWICE's Dahyun takes a break due to fracture
K-pop group TWICE member Dahyun is taking a break from activities after it was found out that she has a fracture.
JYP Entertainment, TWICE’s agency, said, “During the early stages of the North America tour, Dahyun experienced discomfort in her ankle and continued receiving treatment while in the United States.”
“After returning to Korea, she underwent further medical examinations and was diagnosed with a fracture. Based on medical advice, she has been advised to undergo continued treatment and take sufficient rest,” it said.
The agency said, “Throughout the tour, Dahyun had been eagerly looking forward to meeting fans and, even after the injury, did her best to remain on stage, including performing while seated.”
“However, considering the physical demands of the performances, which involve ongoing walking, jumping, and choreography that place significant strain on the injured area, continuing to perform could interfere with her recovery,” JYP Entertainment said.
As a result, Dahyun will not participate in TWICE’s North America concert tour scheduled from Feb. 13 to March 7.
“Ater careful discussion among the artist, the company and medical professionals, and with her health as our top priority, it has been decided that she will not participate in the North America tour dates scheduled from February 13 through March 7,” the agency said.
Dahyun will undergo treatment.
“For the time being, Dahyun will focus on her treatment and recovery and looks forward to returning to fans in good health. Her participation in future schedules will be decided after closely monitoring her recovery and in consultation with Dahyun and medical professionals,” the agency explained.
It added, “We sincerely apologize to fans who may have been surprised by this news and ask for your kind understanding, as this decision was made to prioritize Dahyun’s recovery.”
