Jeonghan of Seventeen will take some time off, according to Pledis Entertainment on Thursday.
The singer has hurt his left ankle in the past and has been carrying on activities while receiving treatment as he wanted to participate in all of the band's schedule for this year. The pain, however, worsened over the band’s recent tour and he had to undergo surgery on Thursday. The surgery went well but Jeonghan will need time to recover and will have to miss activities for the time being, including concerts slated to be held in Fukuoka, Japan; Bangkok; Bulacan, the Philippines; and Macau, added the company.
The 13-member act is in the middle of the Japan leg of its “Follow” tour, having performed in Osaka last week before going live in Fukuoka this weekend. The tour began in Seoul in July.
Leader S.Coups is also on a break since August after a knee surgery. — The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
