Chanty of Lapillus postpones group activities 'indefinitely' due to health concerns

Chanty of Lapillus has "indefinitely" postponed her activities with the band following struggles with her health. She will, however, remain to be a member of the group.

MLD Entertainment, Lapillus’ agency, announced on their social media accounts that Chanty has been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She has been improving after undergoing treatments.

“However, there is concern that engaging in high-intensity group musical activities may cause the relapse of her symptoms and strain in her health,” the statement said.

“[While] Chanty will remain a member of Lapillus and continue her individual activities, her participation in group activities as a singer will be indefinitely postponed," they added.

The agency also said they are doing their best to support the Filipino-Argentinian idol’s health and recovery, and is asking for fans’ understanding and continuous support for Lapillus and Chanty.

The group of Chanty, Shana, Yue, Bessie, Seowon, and Haeun debuted in 2022 under MLD Entertainment with the song “Hit Ya!”

Lapillus was among the artists who attended, won awards, and performed at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards held at the Philippine Arena last December.

In 2022, they performed on “All Out Sundays,” and had a series of fan meetings and other promotional activities.

Chanty signed with Sparkle GMA Artist Center last year. She and Yue also danced with Sandara Park in a TikTok video. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
