On the 15th, YG Entertainment told iMBC:

"Ahyeon, who has been preparing together, has decided to focus on rest for the time being after careful discussion due to health reasons."

I feel very regretful that I cannot introduce Ahyun as a member of Baby Monster, but I have made this decision for the artist's health. We will spare no effort in supporting Ahyun to fully recover and return in good shape."
