Concern is growing among fans after Song Yuqi, a member of I-DLE, revealed that he is temporarily retiring from activities following a head injury suffered during a recent concert.
The accident occurred on March 21 during a show in Bangkok, where Yuqi accidentally hit her head while running on stage. At the time he only felt slight swelling and initially did not consider it serious. However, his condition worsened the next day, when he began to feel dizzy and persistent pain.
Despite taking painkillers to manage the symptoms, Yuqi’s health did not fully recover. During an event for the brand on March 24, fans noticed her repeatedly rubbing her temples and eventually leaning on staff for support, raising alarm about his physical state. Later that day, her symptoms intensified, with severe headaches and recurring dizziness that prompted her to seek medical attention.
Shortly after, Chinese variety show Keep running announced that Yuqi will not participate in the recording of the current season due to health reasons. The update has further fueled concern among fans around the world.
Addressing the situation personally, Yuqi reassured fans through a heartfelt message. She shared that doctors advised her to rest and continue monitoring her condition, adding that her parents are now by her side during her recovery. “I will listen to the doctors, take my medicine and focus on getting better” he said, also apologizing for causing concern.
Yuqi also reflected on the incident with regret, stressing the importance of health and safety. “I always tell you to stay healthy, but this time I didn’t do it myself” he wrote, expressing both responsibility and affection towards the fans.
While no official timeline was given for her return, Yuqi’s message made clear her desire to quickly recover and reunite with fans. For now, both his agency and supporters are prioritizing his health, hoping for a full and speedy recovery before resuming his busy schedule.
