[Dispatch=Yuha Sky Reporter] KATSEYE's Sophia is taking a break from group activities for the time being. She will not participate in the European tour schedule due to health reasons.

HYBE-Geffen Records announced on the 31st on KATSEYE's official Weverse that "Sophia will not participate in the European/UK 'The Wild World Tour' schedule scheduled for the 1st to 17th of next month."

KATSEYE will continue activities as a four-member group for the time being. The agency said, "Sophia is currently focusing on recovering her condition" and "will provide all necessary resources."

They added, "This is a decision that prioritizes the artist's health above all else," and "we ask for the warm understanding of the ICONS (fandom name). Please send your support to Sophia and KATSEYE."

Sophia did not participate in U.S. promotions last month. At the time, she shared on SNS, "If I don't take care of my body and mind now, it seemed I wouldn't be able to continue doing what I love."

She wrote, "I am always grateful for the abundant love," and "I will get through this time well and recover properly to return with an even stronger appearance. I promise to do my best."
