“We sincerely apologize for causing concern to fans with the sudden news,” the statement added. “The agency will put the artist’s treatment as priority and help Johnny focus on his recovery. We will do our best so that he can greet fans again in good health.”

Johnny’s recovery is certainly important for NCT. It has just been confirmed that NCT will hold five full-group stadium concerts.

“NCT Nation: To The World“ will also feature performances from all of the subunits. It is possible that the new subunit NCT Tokyo will also be introduced. The stadium concerts will take place in South Korea and Japan at the Incheon Munhak Stadium, Yanmar Stadium Nagai, and Ajinomoto Stadium from August to September 2023.

Johnny joined NCT in January 2017. Seo Young Ho is also a member of NCT U and NCT 127.
