SEVENTEEN’s leader, S. Coups, will unfortunately not be a part of the ongoing “Your Choice” promotions and activities. In a statement released by his company, Pledis Entertainment, the rapper sustained some injuries during an event, causing him to take a step back from the group’s schedule. The full statement says:

Hello.
This is Pledis Entertainment.

We would like to provide information on member S.Coups’s participation in SEVENTEEN’s eighth mini album activities.

While engaging in a scheduled event on Wednesday, June 30, S.Coups suffered a fall and hit his right shoulder on the ground and received medical treatment. He sustained additional abrasions and cuts on his right forehead, ear, and chin, and he was treated for those injuries.

After a medical examination, physicians advised that while his daily activities will fortunately be unaffected, he should minimize moving his shoulder for a period of time. S.Coups is currently resting and recovering to make sure that inflammation doesn’t develop in his injured area.

As a result, S.Coups will unfortunately be unable to take part in the eighth mini album activities scheduled for this week, including SEVENTEEN’s appearances on the music shows for Mnet, KBS, and SBS as well as the fan sign event for SEVENTEEN’s eighth mini album “Your Choice.”

We will closely monitor S.Coups’s recovery and determine whether he will be able to take part in other activities without putting undue strain on himself.

We would like to apologize to all fans who have eagerly waited for SEVENTEEN, and we ask for your generous understanding. We will place our highest priority on treatment and recovery so that S.Coups can return to you in full health.

Thank you.

SEVENTEEN released their eighth-mini album, “Your Choice” on June 18, but halted their promotional schedule as they had been exposed to two COVID-positive staff members, putting the group into quarantine for almost two weeks. Thankfully, all of the members tested negative and are back on track to conduct amazing performances of “Ready To Love” and “Anyone.” While CARATS will miss seeing S.Coups during these activities, we hope he rests well and recovers quickly!
