Hello, this is JYP Entertainment.
TWICE member Dahyun has been receiving continuous treatment in the United States after experiencing an ankle issue during the early part of the first leg of the tour. Following her return to Korea, a detailed medical examination confirmed that she has sustained a fracture. Medical professionals have advised that she requires sufficient rest and ongoing treatment.
Since the North American tour began in January, Dahyun has cherished every opportunity to meet fans and has done her utmost to remain on stage, even performing while seated after her injury. However, considering the nature of flights and performances, which involve continuous walking, movement between venues, and choreography that could place significant strain on the fractured area, after thorough discussions between the artist, the company, and medical staff, we have decided to prioritize her health. As a result, Dahyun will not be participating in the North American concerts scheduled from February 13 to March 7.
Dahyun will focus on rest and treatment for the time being. We will closely monitor her recovery and, after consulting with her and medical professionals, determine her participation in future schedules.
We sincerely apologize to fans who may be surprised by this sudden news. Although this is disappointing, we kindly ask for your understanding as this decision was made for Dahyun’s speedy recovery. We will do our best to ensure she returns to greet you again in a healthier condition.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all fans who continue to send warm support and love.
