ADOR CONFIRMS NEWJEANS' HYEIN TO SKIP COMEBACK PERFORMANCES DUE TO A FOOT INJURY

NewJeans member Hyein faces a delay in her return to the group's comeback shows due to a microfracture in her foot, prompting her to prioritize recovery. ADOR shared an update on Hyein's health via NewJeans' official platform, ensuring fans of continued support throughout this phase.

The statement read, "We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the fans for always supporting and loving NewJeans and update you on HYEIN’s state of health as well as her upcoming schedule. Last month, HYEIN felt pain in the top of her foot during practice. She visited the hospital, where she underwent a thorough examination and discovered a microfracture in her foot."

"She has since been focusing on treatment and recovery. However, the medical professionals have advised her to minimize any movement that may put unnecessary strain on the affected area. Consequently, HYEIN will not take part in the official promotional activities for the double single “How Sweet,” including music shows and performances, to focus on her recovery. For other scheduled appearances beyond music shows and performances, her participation will be adjusted in a flexible manner based on her health and medical advice. We would like to ask for your generous understanding. We will support HYEIN and her recovery to ensure she can return to her fans in good health. Thank you,” concluded ADOR.

Fans were thrilled by NewJeans' recent release of their single ‘Bubble Gum’ on April 27, and they eagerly anticipate the upcoming drop of ‘How Sweet’ on May 24. The excitement continues to build as the group prepares for the June releases of ‘Supernatural’ and ‘Right Now’.
