Pledis said the singer would be wearing a cast and a brace for the time being.

“The artist is highly determined to attend all of the group’s prearranged engagements; however, his participation will be adjusted depending on the circumstances, placing his recovery as the top most priority as per recommended by the medical staff,” said the agency.

It also said Jeonghan would be joining Seventeen’s scheduled activities, including their “Be The Sun” world tour while still receiving medical treatment, “so long as it does not put too much strain on his recovery.”

“We ask our fans for your kind consideration,” said Pledis. “We will do our best to aid in Jeonghan’s treatment and recovery so that he can return in full health to his fans as quickly as possible.” – RC, GMA News
