LE SSERAFIM leader Kim Chaewon will be stepping back from some of the group’s upcoming activities as she focuses on her health.

Source Music shared an update on the singer's condition through the group's official channels on Tuesday, explaining that Kim recently received hospital treatment for neck pain.

“Kim Chaewon recently received medical treatment for pain in her neck area, and medical staff advised that she take a period of rest while monitoring her recovery,” the agency said.

Source Music added that, after reviewing the artist’s condition, it had decided that Kim needed enough time to recover so she could continue activities in a stable condition.

As a result, Kim will be unable to attend some scheduled events, including university festivals, Spotify’s PURE FLOWERS LIVE and music broadcasts.

“We will actively support Kim Chaewon so that she can fully focus on her recovery,” the agency said, adding that her future schedule will be adjusted depending on her condition.

The agency also said it would do its best to help the singer recover and return to fans in good health as soon as possible.

The health update comes just days before LE SSERAFIM’s highly anticipated comeback. The group is set to release its second full-length album, "PUREFLOW," on May 22 at 1 p.m.

The album is the group's first full-length release in three years and is expected to showcase a wider musical range through tracks spanning various genres.
