On April 12th, WAKEONE and Swing Entertainment announced that Kep1er's Chaehyun suffered an ankle injury during their schedules. She was taken to the hospital because of swelling and pain. As a result, the idol had to wear a half cast and crutches.

In addition, for the time being, Chaehyun will sit on a chair during Kep1er's stages on music broadcasts.

Below is the full context of the agencies' statement:

Hello,
This is Wake One, Swing Entertainment.

Kepler's Chaehyun suffered an ankle injury while performing her schedule. Due to swelling accompanied by pain, she was immediately taken to the hospital and was told that she needed to wear a cast and use crutches for the time being.

Chaehyun is doing her best to recover with a strong will to be on stage, concerned about damage to the team and regret as she starts her 4th mini album.

Accordingly, the agency had in-depth discussions with the members based on the opinion of the medical staff and judged that there were concerns about additional injuries for Chaehyun if she immediately performed on stage.

Therefore, she'll be coordinated to sit on a chair and perform on a stage in a scheduled music broadcast.

Depending on the current situation, the video call fan signing event scheduled for today at 7 pm will be held on 4/15 (Sat).

We ask for your understanding that Chaehyun's participation may be flexible due to future schedules.

We apologize for causing concern with the sudden news.

We ask for the understanding of fans and related parties.

Thank you
