“As we announced earlier today, I.N has been showing mild symptoms of a cold,” the statement read. “Therefore, [he] will not be taking part in the pre-recording and live broadcast of Mnet’s ‘M COUNTDOWN’ on June 7 and 8.”
“I.N will be taking adequate rest to focus on his health and for a swift recovery,” it continued. “We will notify you in case of any additional schedule changes.”
The company also assured STAYs that they are looking out for I.N and that his health is their top priority.
“JYPE will provide everything we can to support the artist’s swift recovery,” the statement added. “We would like to ask for STAY’s kind understanding.”
Although I.N was unable to attend STRAY KIDS’ recent schedules, JYPE made sure his fans still got a lot of content from him. The group’s official Twitter account shared a new video featuring Yang Jeongin and fellow member Seungmin.
