Unfortunate news coming from camp ATEEZ! Member Jongho has temporarily halted all scheduled activities due to health concerns. ATEEZ is currently in Los Angeles to participate in KCON LA 2023, but after experiencing “extreme pain” in his leg, Jongho will be returning to South Korea for diagnosis and treatment. KQ Entertainment released their full statement regarding this matter:

“Hello,
This is KQ Entertainment. It is with utmost regret that we are sharing some updates regarding Jongho’s health to the fans who have unconditionally supported ATEEZ. Jongho was diagnosed with a “meniscus rupture” after his last ankle injury, but because of his strong will to be on stage, he focused on conservative treatment and recovery, including injections that helped relieve pain and boost regenerative qualities. However, after today’s event, Jongho experienced extreme pain, so we have come to the decision of immediately suspending his upcoming schedules for August 20 (local time) and having him return to Korea to conduct a thorough examination and treatment by experts. As artist health is a top priority, we ask for your kind understanding. Updates and additional information will be given following the examination results. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the sudden news, and we will do our best to ensure Jongho’s speedy recovery. Thank you.“

Following their schedule at KCON LA 2023, ATEEZ is heading over to Mexico for the Latin America leg of their “THE FELLOWSHIP : BREAK THE WALL” world tour, kicking off in Mexico City on August 23rd.

Wishing Jongho a speedy recovery!
