Hello,
This is KQ Entertainment.

Please read the following notice regarding ATEEZ member JONGHO’s health condition and status for future schedules.

While JONGHO was undergoing conservative treatment and recovery for a ‘meniscus rupture,’ it was determined that detailed examination and additional measures were necessary. As a result, JONGHO immediately stopped his overseas schedules and returned to Korea to receive treatment at a specialized medical institution.

After a thorough examination, JONGHO was recommended to undergo surgery and receive intensive management for the existing injured area. As a result, ATEEZ will continue with seven members for upcoming schedules while JONGHO undergoes rehabilitation after the surgery.

We ask for your understanding regarding the decision to prioritize JONGHO’s prompt recovery, and we will update you once he is ready to return to the group’s schedule.

Thank you.

Let's extend our good wishes for a quick recovery to Jongho!
