KQ Entertainment recently provided a health update on Jongho’s knee injury. This time, the agency might have some good news about the ATEEZ member!

KQ Entertainment Finally Shares Positive Health Update on ATEEZ Member Jongho

In August 2023, the label announced Jongho’s hiatus due to a meniscus rupture, and as of October 12, they have finally shared the ATEEZ member’s progress. According to the statement, Jongho has undergone surgery and rehabilitation for his knee injury, and he’s currently in a condition where he can walk and participate in light exercise.

“Back in August, Jongho was diagnosed with a ‘meniscus rupture’, and has since undergone surgery and rehabilitation treatment. Currently, he is able to walk and engage in light exercise as part of his daily routine,” the statement read.

The company then shared some good news about Jongho’s condition. “After extensive discussions with the artist, we have decided to proceed with his activities in a flexible manner, so that he is not overloaded,” they wrote.

The label also confirmed that Jongho will be rejoining ATEEZ for ‘M! Countdown in France,’ marking the end of his hiatus. However, to prioritize his recovery, he will refrain from engaging in any strenuous choreography.

“Once again, we apologize for any concern this may have caused, and we assure you that we will continue to prioritize the artist’s recovery and complete healing,” they wrote.

Notably, Jongho has a history of health issues. He previously experienced both an ankle injury and a meniscus rupture. The agency clarified on August 20th that Jongho had, after his previous ankle injury, received a diagnosis of a meniscus rupture. However, he chose “conservative treatment” over surgery, driven by his determined desire to continue performing on stage.

ATEEZ will perform at the upcoming “M! Countdown in France” which will be held in the Paris La Défense Arena on Sunday, October 15, 2023.

Jongho of K-pop boy group ATEEZ will be temporarily taking a break from group activities due to health concerns. 

KQ Entertainment announced on Monday, August 21, that the idol experienced “extreme pain” in his leg after the group’s performance at the KCON LA 2023 event. 

Following this, the agency said that they’ve decided to suspend Jongho’s scheduled activities. Moreover, they also updated fans that the artist will be returning early to South Korea to “conduct a thorough examination and treatment by experts.”

 

While KQ Entertainment didn’t detail what caused Jongho’s leg pains, they mentioned that the idol has been previously diagnosed with a “meniscus rupture” after his last ankle injury. 

“But because of his strong will to be on stage, he focused on conservative treatment and recovery,” the agency explained. Note that it was in August 2021 when the agency first revealed that Jongho was diagnosed with a minor knee cartilage injury. 

Additionally, KQ Entertainment assured fans that they will provide updates and additional information about Jongho’s medical test results. 

“We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the sudden news, and we will do our best to ensure Jongho’s speedy recovery,” the agency. 

ATINYs’ concern for Jongho 

Following the announcement, fans quickly took to social media to wish for speedy recovery for Jongho. Many of them left their messages through the hashtag “Get well soon Jongho.”

 

What makes fans even more worried is that this isn’t the first time that Jongho has been injured. In February 2020, he was also diagnosed with a fracture on his left leg. At the time, the doctor required him three to four months of recovery. 

On top of that, another ATEEZ member, Wooyoung, also had to take a temporary hiatus in May due to an ankle injury. He missed THE DANCE DAY LIVE 2023 and KCON 2023 JAPAN events but has now returned to activities. 

After KCON LA 2023, ATEEZ, sans Jongho, will go to Mexico for the Latin American leg of their THE FELLOWSHIP: BREAK THE WALL world tour. 

Composed of eight members, ATEEZ made their debut in October 2018. The group released their latest album THE WORLD EP 2: OUTLAW in June.
