The agency shared a statement on ATEEZ's community site, expressing regret for relaying the news of Wooyoung's health to the fans who have shown such generous love and care for ATEEZ.

According to the statement, Wooyoung recently obtained an ankle injury and has been focusing on recovery. Despite this, he has been performing on stage while sitting in a chair due to his strong will to fulfill his promise with the fans. However, as the pain has continued, it was decided that he would need a thorough examination and treatment at a medical institution.


After a long discussion with Wooyoung and all the other ATEEZ members, the decision has been made to suspend Wooyoung's schedule for a period of time so that he can undergo treatment accordingly. As a result, Wooyoung will not be able to join the following schedules of 'THE DANCE DAY LIVE 2023' and 'KCON 2023 JAPAN.' The agency asks for fans' understanding, as this decision has been made in consideration of Wooyoung's health.

The agency apologized for the sudden news and expressed their commitment to ensuring Wooyoung's quick recovery, as his health is their biggest priority. In a separate message, Wooyoung reassured fans that he is fine and that the injury is not serious. He expressed gratitude for his fellow ATEEZ members, noting that it was his first time sitting down to perform on stage and that he felt they were very dependable and reliable.
