In a recent announcement, SM Entertainment has disclosed crucial details about the health condition of NCT's Haechan, prompting the artist to temporarily step back from his scheduled activities.

Health Setback During Japanese Commitments

While engaged in planned activities in Japan, Haechan experienced health complications, leading him to return to Korea on January 8. Afflicted with flu symptoms and a high fever, he promptly sought medical attention.

The subsequent examination revealed a severe case of tonsillitis, prompting the attending physician to prescribe ample rest and stability for his recovery.

Temporary Break for Speedy Recovery

As a consequence of his diagnosis, Haechan will be taking a temporary hiatus to focus on his recuperation. Unfortunately, this means he will be unable to participate in the upcoming Circle Chart Music Awards 2023 scheduled for January 10 (Wednesday).

NCT DREAM will grace the event as a six-member ensemble, featuring Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung. The management seeks the understanding and support of fans during this period.
