K-pop star Hwanhee wrapped up promotional activities for his solo album due to an abrupt onset of health problems involving his vocal chords, his management agency announced Tuesday.
The 27-year-old, who is known as a member of the R&B duo Fly to the Sky, began experiencing discomfort in October while promoting ``Because I Missed Your Heart.'' Following the advice of a doctor, he stopped singing and promotional activities.
``He started receiving medical treatment three weeks ago for cold symptoms and other problems involving his vocal chords. He was busy with a tight working schedule, including TV appearances and other engagements, but in the meantime he will take some time to focus on recovering,'' said his agency.
Hwanhee hosted a live concert and talk show Dec. 23 in Japan's JCB Hall and continued promoting ``Bring It Back'' in Korea. During his break, he plans to consider participating in casting calls for TV soaps and movies, and prepare for a new album.
