K-pop girl group Kep1er's Yeseo will be missing out on group activities at an upcoming event owing to health issues as revealed by WAKEONE and SWING Entertainment in an announcement on September 21. According to the statement, the idol will no longer be a part of the girls' forthcoming performance at Poland's 2023 KPOP NATION X Korea Music Festival, set to be held on September 23, 2023.
The announcement, however, does not dive into details regarding the member's health conditions but mentions that the 18-year-old idol is resting and apologizes to fans who will not be able to see Yeseo on stage at the Poland concert while assuring fans of the group a.k.a Kep1ians that the rest of the team will attend the event as planned.
Meanwhile, the remaining eight members have reportedly departed for the 2023 KPOP NATION on September 21. Fans are impatient to see the Giddy girls light the stage up while wishing for the group's maknae (the youngest), Yeseo, to get well soon. They also hope that the member takes "the deserved rest".
