Aisha Sits Out EVERGLOW’s US and LATAM Tour

On September 20, Yuehua Entertainment announced that EVERGLOW’s Aisha would be sitting out the group’s U.S. and Latin America “PULSE & HEART” tour due to health concerns. Medical professionals advised Aisha to take “ample rest,” leading to the decision that she would not participate in the tour.

“Prior to tour rehearsals, Aisha’s physical condition significantly declined and consequentially visited the hospital, where the medical professionals advised that she requires ample rest,” the statement read. “Although Aisha has expressed a strong desire to participate in the tour, after extensive internal discussions, we have decided that focusing on her recovery is the top priority.”

“We will do our utmost to support Aisha in her recovery,” it added.

This news came shortly after EVERGLOW made a strong comeback in June with their digital single “Zombie,” following a lengthy hiatus since their previous release in August of 2022. Their fourth single album, ‘ALL MY GIRLS’, featured the hit title track “SLAY,” which secured multiple wins on music shows and further solidified their status as a powerhouse in the K-pop scene.

EVERGLOW’s upcoming tour, which is set to cover eleven stops across the United States and Latin America, began on September 12, 2024. Despite Aisha’s absence, the remaining members are expected to deliver powerful performances, maintaining the group’s momentum and connection with their international fanbase.

Fans expressed concern for Aisha’s health but supported her decision to prioritize recovery. While her absence will be felt during the tour, EVERGLOW’s supporters are eager to see the group thrive and are hopeful for Aisha’s full recovery.

Wishing Aisha a speedy recovery so she can reunite with the rest of the members of EVERGLOW soon.

According to a Naver article, a representative from Yuehua Entertainment shared what to look forward to in the upcoming release. “Choi Yena will be active as a new ‘morning angel’ through this album. She will deliver a message of hope and comfort to music fans,” it read. 

Yena to return after controversy

Since participating in MNET’s famed survival program Produce 48, she made her debut as part of the project girl group IZ*ONE, after winning a spot in the show. After disbanding in April 2020, Yena made her solo debut in 2022. As a soloist, she has been known for her popular tracks “Smiley” and “Smartphone,” among many others.

However, things did not go out well for her most recent comeback. In June, the soloist received unfavorable remarks after releasing her second single album Hate XX with the title track “Hate Rodrigo.” Although it was highly-anticipated as the song featured Yuqi of (G)I-DLE, the track was put as the center of a controversy.

Having mixed reactions about the song’s meaning, netizens pointed out that the song directly referenced US pop star Olivia Rodrigo. Moreover, the idol was criticized for her “copycat” portrayal of the “Vampire” singer in the official music video.

In response, Yuehua Entertainment released an apology for causing confusion and concern. “We have discovered that the following music video might contain grounds that may have infringed trademark and portrait rights,” they said. They then put the original video on private, and reuploaded an edited version of the MV.

In addition, Yena explained that the song was intended to pay homage to Rorigo. Moreover, it was meant to express the “cute” jealousy she feels towards the admired singer. 

After the controversy, Yena took a break from her promotions in Korea. Recently, the singer focused on her Japanese debut with the release of the Japanese version of “Smiley” featuring Chanmina.

Now seven months later, she’ll be returning with Good Morning.
