Kep1er’s Seo Youngeun will be temporarily halting group activities due to health concerns, with her agency and fans prioritizing her recovery.

On July 15 KST, WakeOne and Swing Entertainment announced that Youngeun had been feeling unwell and, following medical advice, will be taking a break to rest and recover. “After consulting with her, we’ve decided she will focus on regaining her health,” the agency stated. Fans quickly rallied online, expressing concern and support with messages like “Take all the time you need,” and “Your health comes first.”

As a result, Youngeun will not participate in Kep1er’s August comeback or other scheduled events. The agency assured fans, “We will provide full support for her recovery and update you as her condition improves.” Admired for her strong vocals and stage presence, Youngeun’s absence will be felt, but fans continue to send warm wishes for her swift and full recovery.
