K-pop boy band DAY6 will take a break from further group acts due to health issues.

The group's agency JYP Entertainment announced the news through its fan page, Sunday, saying that some members have been showing anxiety symptoms.

“(Some members) received medical advice to get rest,” it said. “So after careful discussion with DAY6 members, we decided to temporarily halt its activity, including performances for the upcoming album, to focus on the recovery.”

The group was set to carry out promotional activities for its comeback album “The Book of Us: The Demon,” slated for release Monday. The album will hit streaming sites as planned.

The five-member group ― Sungjin, Wonpil, Jae, Young K, and Dowoon ― debuted in 2015 with the album “The Day.”

The group, known for its pop-rock music style, has released hit songs like “You Were Beautiful” (2017) and “Shoot Me” (2018).
