ITZY’s Yeji will be unable to fully participate in the group’s concerts this weekend due to health concerns.
On May 5, JYP Entertainment announced that Yeji had been diagnosed with a herniated disc after recently visiting the hospital due to lower back pain.
Because she was advised to “minimize back-straining movements,” Yeji will be limiting her participation in ITZY’s performances at their upcoming “TUNNEL VISION” concerts in Japan on May 9 and 10.
JYP Entertainment’s full English statement is as follows:
Hello, this is JYPE.
