Personal Message from Seunghyun

In a personal message to fans, Seunghyun expressed his heartfelt apologies for not being able to share positive news.

First, I am truly sorry for not being able to share good news.

During the process of preparing for our new debut in both Korea and Japan, I experienced severe symptoms of dizziness and hearing loss in my right ear.

Despite my efforts for the fans, the company staff, and my fellow members, the hearing tests confirmed a recurrence of sudden hearing loss in my right ear and a decrease in the clarity of low tones in my left ear.

The dizziness that accompanied the dance practices led to the decision that I could no longer continue with the debut project. I am currently focusing on recovering my hearing through treatment.

I thought it was necessary to recover my health before I could greet my beloved fans again. Once again, I want to apologize to the fans, members, and company officials. This is Yu Seunghyun. Thank you.

He recounted the severe symptoms he faced, including dizziness and hearing loss, which made it impossible for him to continue with Celest1a's debut preparations.

Despite his dedication to fans, staff, and fellow members, the recurrence of sudden hearing loss in his right ear and clarity issues in his left ear forced him to prioritize his health and undergo treatment.

Call for Continued Support

Both the management and Seunghyun himself have appealed for understanding and continued support from fans and the K-Pop community during this challenging time.

The focus remains on Seunghyun's recovery and well-being, with hopes for a future return to the stage once his health permits.
