TREASURE's Junkyu is stepping back from activities. On June 29, YG Entertainment confirmed the K-pop star will temporarily halt activities to focus on recovery after battling health issues.
The timing comes right after TREASURE wrapped promotions for their latest mini album "NEW WAV." Sources reveal Junkyu had been performing despite feeling unwell, determined to support his group through the release cycle.
The agency acknowledged that the artist needs proper rest and medical care to recover. No specific details were shared about the health issues, but the move indicates YG is prioritizing member welfare.
Junkyu's decision to step away has sparked an outpouring of support from TREASURE's fanbase. Fans have posted messages of encouragement, emphasizing that his health comes first and that they will await his return.
The 24-year-old Thai-Japanese idol has been a member of TREASURE since the group's 2020 debut under YG Entertainment. His temporary exit means adjustments ahead for any scheduled group activities, though the agency has not detailed what that entails.
