Kep1er's Kim Chae Hyun Injures Ankle + To Adjust Participation In Upcoming Activities

Kep1er’s Kim Chae Hyun has suffered an ankle injury two days after the group’s comeback.

On April 12, Kep1er’s agency WAKEONE and Swing Entertainment released a statement regarding Kim Chae Hyun’s ankle injury.

Read the full statement below:

Hello.

This is WAKEONE, Swing Entertainment.

Kep1er’s Kim Chae Hyun suffered an ankle injury while carrying out a scheduled activity.

Due to swelling accompanied by pain, she was immediately taken to the hospital and was told that she needs to wear a cast and use crutches for the time being.

Feeling regrettable [for getting injured] along with the start of activities for the fourth mini album as well as concerned that this may harm the team, Chae Hyun is doing her best to recover with a strong will to be on stage with her team.

Accordingly, the agency had in-depth discussions with the members based on the doctor’s opinion, and it was decided that Chae Hyun would participate in the scheduled music shows while seated in a chair, judging that there are risks for additional injuries for Chae Hyun to perform on stage immediately.

Due to this current situation, the video call fan signing event which was scheduled for today at 7 p.m. KST will be postponed to April 15 at 9 p.m. KST.

We ask for your understanding that Chae Hyun’s participation in upcoming activities may be flexible, and we apologize for causing concern with this sudden news.

We ask for the generous understanding of fans and staff of all related activities.

Thank you.

On April 10, Kep1er made a comeback with their fourth mini album “LOVESTRUCK!” along with the music video for their title track “Giddy.”

Wishing Kim Chae Hyun a fast recovery!
