Jang Yeojoon of CLOSE YOUR EYES is temporarily suspending activities due to health concerns.
On February 19, his agency UNCORE announced that the artist visited the hospital after experiencing abnormal physical symptoms. Following detailed examinations, he was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis.
Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which damaged muscle tissue releases proteins into the bloodstream, potentially leading to serious complications. Treatment focused on stabilizing kidney function is essential.
Hospitalization and Schedule Suspension
According to medical staff, Jang Yeojoon requires hospitalization and close monitoring. He will undergo inpatient treatment for approximately one week to focus on recovery.
As a result, he will be unable to participate in scheduled activities this week. The agency asked for fans' understanding and stated that additional details regarding affected events will be communicated through respective ticketing platforms.
UNCORE emphasized that it will prioritize the artist's health, ensuring he receives sufficient rest and treatment for a full recovery.
Rookie Momentum Paused
CLOSE YOUR EYES was formed through JTBC's PROJECT 7 and made its debut in April last year. The group has since achieved eight Rookie of the Year awards, establishing a strong presence in the K-pop scene.
Jang Yeojoon's temporary hiatus places health above all else as fans await his safe and steady return.
