Starship Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Starship), a MONSTA X agency, said on its official community on the 29th that "IM is being treated for back pain."

Starship has decided to suspend activities for the time being and focus on recovery due to the need for a period of treatment and stable recovery following the findings of medical staff. As a result, it was announced that it was inevitable to participate in future schedules, including 'KCON LA 2025' scheduled for August 2nd (Saturday)."




"We will do our best to recover quickly by considering the health of the artist as our top priority, and we will inform you separately later on whether to participate in the future schedule by comprehensively considering the opinions of the specialist in charge and the recovery status of I.M."

He also added, "We ask for your generous understanding of causing concern with the sudden news, and we ask for your support so that I.M. can recover healthily and greet you again on stage.'

I.M. left a message directly through the fan communication community. He said "I'll take care of my health, too. Don't get sick, my princesses. Please stay healthy."
