IVE's Rei will be taking a temporary hiatus due to health concerns.

An official from Starship Entertainment said in a phone call with Dispatch on April 11, Rei recently went to the hospital for an examination and consultation after experiencing unusual symptoms such as heart palpitations and stuffiness, and the doctor determined that rest and treatment were necessary.

“We have decided that she will temporarily suspend her activities to focus on her health, based on the doctor's advice and discussions with Rei”.“We apologise for the unexpected news, and we will do everything we can to assist Rei in focusing on her recovery and safety”, he said.

IVE will conduct a five-person activity. Rei’s part and movement will be revised to fill Rei's position. "We will inform you of the changes again," he added.

Meanwhile, IVE made a comeback with their first album ‘I've IVE’ on April 10. It topped the domestic music charts with title song ‘I AM’ and pre-released song ‘Kitsch’.
