Recently, PLEDIS Entertainment announced that SEVENTEEN member Seungkwan (real name Boo Seungkwan) would halt activities for the time being due to poor physical condition. This news comes after Seungkwan had previously taken a break in April following the passing of his best friend and fellow K-pop idol, ASTRO’s Moonbin.
Following that first hiatus, Seungkwan returned with a cheerful demeanor and participated in group activities. Unfortunately, he now needs another break due to his ongoing health issues. He visited a doctor, who recommended he take some time off to rest and recuperate.
As a result, Seungkwan won’t hit the Gocheok Sky Dome stage with the rest of SEVENTEEN on July 21 and 22 for their SEVENTEEN TOUR ‘FOLLOW’ TO SEOUL concert. He won’t participate in a fan signing event in China or walk the red carpet at the upcoming Tencent Music Entertainment Awards, either.
Fans flooded social media platforms with an outpouring of support for SEVENTEEN’s main vocalist. Meanwhile, his agency promised to support him as he recuperates.
Yo, Seungkwan went on leave. I am worried sick of my baby cause he tends to bottle up his worries. Take all the time you need, love. https://t.co/fGMNHaiTGb

SEVENTEEN has been making waves in the K-pop scene since its debut in 2015. With their immense popularity and loyal fans, they have achieved worldwide success. But an idol’s life isn’t all about glitz and glamour. Idols are human beings who face emotional and physical challenges like everyone else.
Get well soon, Seungkwan!
