Full statement from JYP Entertainment
Hi, I’m JYP Entertainment.
TWICE member Dahyun has been receiving ongoing treatment in the United States after suffering from an ankle problem during the first leg of the tour’s first leg. After his return to Korea, a thorough medical examination confirmed that he had suffered a fracture. Medical professionals have informed that he needs sufficient rest and continuous care.
Since the North American tour began in January, Dahyun has taken every opportunity to meet fans and tried her best to stay on stage, even performing while sitting down after her injury. However, considering the nature of the flights and performances, which involve continuous walking, movement between locations and choreography that could place significant strain on the fractured area, after extensive discussions between the artist, the company and the medical staff, we have decided to give priority to his health. As a result, Dahyun will not participate in the North American concerts scheduled from February 13 to March 7.
Dahyun will focus on rest and treatment for now. We will carefully monitor your recovery and, after consulting with you and medical professionals, will determine your participation in future programs.
We sincerely apologize to fans who may be surprised by this sudden news. While this is disappointing, we kindly ask for your understanding as this decision was made for Dahyun’s speedy recovery. We will do our best to ensure that he returns to greet you again in a healthier condition.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the fans who continue to send warm support and love.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
JYP entertainment
