As a result, many are now questioning whether the members are being pushed too hard to the point of abuse.

Shingles , Rhabdomyolysis – these are usually due to extreme physical stress uncore fix your schedule… the health of your artist we’re just barely a year yet……

Some argue that serious conditions like shingles and rhabdomyolysis are often linked to extreme physical stress, exhaustion, and weakened immunity. Others claim the members have had little to no proper rest since their debut.
they haven’t had proper rest since debut. three albums back to back with an intense choreo, fanmeetings, endless fansigns in korea and overseas, award stages, and now concerts/tour… i know it keeps cye’s name relevant but if it ends with these serious sickness, what’s the point?…

It scares me how much they’re pushing their bodies to the limit, and breaking down not even being 21 yo yet. I’ve said this multiple times but them heavyloading their schedules like this is so unnecessary.

Fans have pointed to the members’ packed schedule, which includes three back-to-back releases, intense choreography, fan meetings, frequent fan signings both in Korea and overseas, award show stages, and now concerts and touring.
Uncore, why do you always repeat the same mistake?!!!!! They literally work 24/7, you really don’t give them enough rest :)))) Why does Uncore never learn from the same mistake? They’re human beings, not robots :))!!!!!!!!!

On top of all of this, the group is reportedly set to release another studio album soon, which will naturally bring forth more activities and schedules.

While many acknowledge that such promotions help build the group’s popularity, they are asking whether the pace is sustainable. To fans, it feels as though CLOSE YOUR EYES’ agency is prioritizing visibility over the members’ health.
