TWICE's Chaeyoung Pauses Activities Due to Health Concerns, Focusing on Recovery

Chaeyoung, a member of the global K-pop sensation TWICE, will be halting her activities temporarily due to health issues, her agency JYP Entertainment announced on October 20th.

The agency revealed that Chaeyoung was recently diagnosed with vasovagal syncope. After consulting with medical professionals and undergoing thorough examinations, it was determined that she requires additional recovery time.

Consequently, Chaeyoung will be taking a break from her scheduled activities to focus on treatment, stability, and sufficient rest. The goal is for her to regain her health by the end of the year.

In line with this decision, Chaeyoung will participate minimally in future schedules and may have to be unavoidably absent from certain events. This includes her participation in upcoming world tour stops in Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, and Bangkok.

JYP Entertainment conveyed Chaeyoung's deep regret over missing these events and her apologies to fans for not being able to join them since late October for fan meetings and world tour performances.

"We sincerely apologize for causing concern to our fans who always send their warm love," the statement concluded. "We will do our best to support Chaeyoung so she can return to the stage in good health as soon as possible. We ask for your generous support and encouragement for her speedy recovery."

Fans expressed their concern and support upon hearing the news, with comments such as "Chaeyoung's health is the top priority," "Get well soon and come back," and "We're worried, wishing her a fast recovery."
