Since July, SEVENTEEN‘s Seungkwan has been on hiatus due to health.
Hello. This is PLEDIS Entertainment.
We would like to provide you with some information regarding SEVENTEEN member SEUNGKWAN’ future activities. SEUNGKWAN recently visited the hospital due to feeling unwell, and the medical staff advised him to take the necessary time to rest and recover.The artist himself is determined to continue his activities, however, the company felt that it would be better for him to focus on improving his health for the time being, as recommended by the medical staff.
Consequently, SEUNGKWAN, unfortunately, will not be able to take part in upcoming events such as the Tencent Music Entertainment Award (TMEA) 2023, fan-signing event in China, and SEVENTEEN TOUR ‘FOLLOW’ TO SEOUL, among others. We would like to apologize to our fans and ask for your generous understanding. We will do our very best to support SEUNGKWAN so that he can meet his fans as his healthiest self again.

Early on August 16, KST, Seungkwan took to Weverse to share what he’s been up to with CARATs, including several pictures of his various adventures.
Seungkwan also sent a heartfelt letter to CARATs updating them. He reassured them that he had been doing better since his break.
How are you doing Carats? It’s been a while
There are so many things I want to say, but first of all I’ve missed you so much..!
You were also probably curious how I’ve been doing right?
I’ve been resting and recovering well
It feels like I’ve experienced true rest for the first time
Of course there were times when I went on vacation/break for a few days
But this is the first time in my life I’ve taken a break completely for myself, completely thinking of myself in order to recharge
Of course it wasn’t easy at first, taking a break
The members have been filling my spot, and I was worried. But I didn’t want to burden them with such worries
And I was so grateful for Carats, who’ve been waiting for me so supportively. I felt terrible [about making you wait], since that’s just my personality
But thanks to your support
I’m really getting so much better
I feel like it won’t be too long before I can come back to you all
I meant to leave just a short message with some photos, but I couldn’t help myself once I started writing, haha
Anyway, I’m going to leave it here for today
And I’ll come back later to share a lot more
I can’t wait to greet you all again!
Thank you, Carats. Good night!P.S. I’m eating well, sleeping well, bloating well & debloating well, don’t worry
