GFRIEND's Umji To Sit Out Certain Activities Due To Leg Injury

On December 13, Source Music released a statement announcing that GFRIEND’s Umji will be sitting out some of the group’s promotional activities due to an injury in her leg.

Read the full statement below:

Hello, this is Source Music.

We are notifying you that GFRIEND’s Umji will be sitting out some activities due to health issues.

Umji recently visited the hospital after experiencing pain in her leg. The medical specialist diagnosed her with damaged leg muscle and tendon.
For her recovery, she was advised to take sufficient rest while receiving treatment, so we have decided that she will not participate in activities that will strain the injured area.

Thus, for most of the activities scheduled for this day onwards, only the five members excluding Umji will be taking part.
Moreover, the decision of when she will return to participating in scheduled activities will depend on the progress of her recovery and examination results.

We apologize to Buddies for announcing the news of an injury at a time when preparations for various events such as year-end award stages are taking place.
The decision was made to prioritize Umji’s health, so we ask Buddies for their kind understanding.

We will always prioritize all of our artists’ health and safety over anything else, and we will work hard so that Umji can recover quickly.

Thank you.

Wishing Umji a speedy recovery!
