When you think everything bad about HYBE's ADOR, they do something that warms our hearts! In a statement released on June 20 regarding NewJeans's Hyein, we are proud to see the company's transparency with fans as they meticulously explained Hyein's current recovery. Let's take a look at the details!
If you haven't noticed already, all of NewJeans's new promotional material, including their exquisite performance at Gyeonbukgung Palace, did not include Hyein. The youngest member of NewJeans has been placed on IR (injured reserve) for the past couple of months due to a hairline fracture on the top of her foot. The singer/dancer sustained the injury during practice and has been in recovery ever since.
On June 30, ADOR released a detailed explanation of Hyein's recovery process and how she might be able to participate (limited) with the group for their upcoming Japan debut from June 26- 27 during their first two-day fan meeting "Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome"!
"Hello, this is ADOR.
We would like to update you on Hyein’s health and her upcoming schedule.Ever since a microfracture was discovered on the top of her foot in April, Hyein has been focusing on treatment and recovery.A recent examination confirmed that the fracture is healing well, and it has been recommended that she gradually increase her foot movement over the next month.
Based on the medical team’s advice and after thorough discussions with the other members, Hyein is scheduled to participate in “Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome” on June 26 and 27. However, as she needs a sufficient rehabilitation period, ADOR is currently adjusting Hyein’s level of participation to avoid straining her injury during her interactions with fans. Consequently, she will be taking part in the performances to a limited extent. We appreciate your understanding on this matter.
We also ask for your understanding that she will not be active or participating in the official “Supernatural” promotions in Japan, including music shows and other performances, for the same reasons. However, depending on Hyein’s condition and the medical team’s advice, she plans to engage as much as possible in activities other than music shows and performances. We are committed to ensuring that NewJeans can perform as a full group in upcoming music shows in South Korea.
We express our sincere gratitude for your concerns about Hyein’s health. She will return to official activities once she receives medical clearance that she has fully recovered. We ask for your continued support.
Thank you."
This is amazing news and very good of ADOR to let fans know her current status!
K-pop idols' health is in jeopardy!
With all the clouds surrounding the health status of many K-pop idols, this is definitely a breath of fresh air! Wonhee of rookie girl group ILLIT also injured her foot during practice earlier in the week prompting their agency, Belift Lab, to state Wonhee's condition. But a day later, she was spotted performing while sitting on a chair during the Weverse Con Festival in Incheon.
According to the Korean Herald, NingNing from Aespa also suffered dehydration and exhaustion. SM Entertainment released a statement saying, "Ning Ning was dehydrated and exhausted during a rehearsal and immediately went to the hospital, where she was told that she needed to rest and stabilize.” The Korean Herald also continued to explain that the main reason why K-pop idols suffer from these health issues is due to their intense schedules and strict diets.
