NewJeans' Hyein to Sit Out Comeback Due to Microfracture Injury

NewJeans’ Hyein will be absent for their new album promotional activities.

ADOR announced on the 8th that NewJeans’ Hyein who visited the hospital after experiencing pain in the top of her foot during practice in April was diagnosed with a microfracture during a detailed examination. Last month, they announced that she would only take a temporary break.

Accordingly, Hyein has been concentrating on treatment and recovery and received advice from the medical staff to minimize movements that could strain her feet. With that, they added that the idol decided not to participate in ‘How Sweet’ official activities such as music broadcasts.

Full statement below:

Hello.
This is ADOR.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the fans for always supporting and loving NewJeans and update you on Hyein’s state of health as well as her upcoming schedule.

Last month, Hyein felt pain in the top of her foot during practice. She visited the hospital, where she underwent a thorough examination and discovered a microfracture in her foot.

She has since been focusing on treatment and recovery. However, the medical professionals have advised her to minimize any movement that may put unnecessary strain on the affected area.

Consequently, Hyein will not take part in the official promotional activities for the double single “How Sweet,” including music shows and performances, to focus on her recovery.
For other scheduled appearances beyond music shows and performances, her participation will be adjusted in a flexible manner based on her health and medical advice.

We would like to ask for your generous understanding. We will support Hyein and her recovery to ensure she can return to her fans in good health.

Thank you.

Meanwhile, NewJeans is preparing for their comeback with their double single 'How Sweet' on May 24.

Get well soon, Hyein!
