Several weeks ago, it was announced that NewJeans’ Hyein would be taking a hiatus due to a foot injury. Recently, fans have spotted her in public using crutches, indicating that she is still in the recovery phase.
NewJeans’ Hyein on Hiatus Due to Foot Injury: Fans Spot Her Using Crutches
On April 10, ADOR announced that Hyein had sustained a microfracture in her foot during practice. Following medical advice, she has been instructed to limit her movements and rest until she is fully recovered. The injury came at an especially unfortunate time as NewJeans has been busy with their schedules, including a highly anticipated comeback at the end of May. Due to her injury, Hyein has had to sit out from these activities, missing out on significant group events.
Despite her hiatus, Hyein has been trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy. According to fan accounts, she was seen attending her church using crutches, demonstrating her determination to stay active within the limits of her injury. However, with only one photo taken, it remains unclear how reliant she is on the crutches for mobility and how much longer her recovery will take.

She mentioned that she cried during the performance, reflecting her disappointment and longing to be part of the group’s activities.
NewJeans Marches On
NewJeans continues to promote their latest single “How Sweet,” with the rest of the group working hard to fill the gap left by Hyein’s absence.

Hyein’s dedication to her recovery and her desire to be back with her group is a testament to her passion for her craft. Her fans remain patient and supportive, looking forward to the day she can rejoin NewJeans and continue making music and performing.
