SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan Undergoes Ankle Surgery + To Temporarily Halt Activities

Dec 13, 2023

SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan is recuperating following surgery for his ankle.

On December 14, PLEDIS Entertainment announced that Jeonghan received surgery for his ankle and that he is now recuperating. In order to prioritize his health, Jeonghan will be unable to participate in SEVENTEEN’s “FOLLOW” tour in Fukuoka as well as Bangkok, Bulacan, and Macao.

The full official statement is as follows:

"Hello.
This is PLEDIS Entertainment.

We would like to inform you about SEVENTEEN member Jeonghan’s current health status and his activities moving forward.

Jeonghan previously suffered an injury to his left ankle and has been receiving several conservative treatments. The artist was highly determined to participate in all activities prearranged for this year, so he continued his activities while getting regular checkups on his ankle with medical professionals.

While performing on the recent tour, Jeonghan’s ankle pain worsened. He immediately went to the hospital and was diagnosed by the medical staff as needing surgery. Accordingly, he was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday, December 13 and underwent ankle surgery on the morning of Thursday, December 14. The surgery was successful, and Jeonghan is now recuperating.

We believed that it was in the artist’s best interest to prioritize his recovery and rehabilitation above all else at this time. Therefore, it will be difficult for Jeonghan to participate in official activities for the time being, including the upcoming SEVENTEEN TOUR ‘FOLLOW’ TO JAPAN Fukuoka concert and the ‘FOLLOW’ TO ASIA concerts in Bangkok, Bulacan, and Macao. We ask for your generous understanding.

We will do our very best to support Jeonghan’s treatment and recovery so he can meet the fans as his healthiest self again.

Thank you."

Wishing Jeonghan a speedy and full recovery!
