TWICE’s Dahyun unable to attend Taipei concerts amid ongoing injury recovery
by Demian09 · allkpopTWICE member Dahyun will be unable to attend the group’s upcoming concerts in Taipei as she continues to recover from an ankle injury.
On March 17, JYP Entertainment shared an update on Dahyun’s condition and her participation in TWICE’s 'THIS IS FOR' world tour. The agency had previously announced in February that she would not take part in the North American leg of the tour, which ran from February 13 to March 7, after experiencing ankle pain and being diagnosed with a stress fracture.
In its latest statement, the agency confirmed that Dahyun will also be unable to attend the Taipei concerts scheduled for March 20 to 22, as she has not yet made a full recovery.
According to JYP Entertainment, Dahyun visited a hospital after experiencing pain during the tour and was diagnosed with a stress fracture. Since then, she has been focusing on her recovery while undergoing various treatments, including wearing a brace and a half cast. The company has also been closely monitoring her condition.
Although Dahyun expressed a strong desire to return to the stage and meet fans, the decision was made based on medical advice for her to prioritize rest and treatment. The agency noted that performing intense choreography before fully recovering could worsen her injury.
JYP Entertainment apologized to fans who had been looking forward to her performance and asked for their understanding, emphasizing that the artist’s health remains the top priority. The agency added that Dahyun plans to rejoin the tour once she has fully recovered and regained her health, and it will continue to provide full support for her recovery.
The agency’s official statement:
"Hi, this is JYP Entertainment.
We would like to provide an update regarding the ankle condition of Dahyun (TWICE) and her participation in the world tour schedule.
During the world tour, Dahyun experienced pain in her ankle and visited the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a stress fracture by medical professionals. Since then, to meet fans again as soon as possible, she has been focusing on her recovery while receiving various treatments, including wearing a brace and a half cast. Our company has also been closely monitoring the artist’s condition and preparing for her return.
Dahyun herself wished to take the stage and meet ONCE until the very last moment. However, after careful discussions based on medical advice, it was ultimately decided that she should prioritize treatment and rest for the time being to achieve a full recovery. This is because performing intense choreography and stage movements before she has fully recovered may risk worsening the injury.
We sincerely apologize to fans who have been looking forward to Dahyun’s performance for delivering this sudden news. As this decision was made with the artist’s health as our top priority, we kindly ask for your understanding.
After taking sufficient time, Dahyun plans to rejoin the world tour once she has fully recovered and regained her health. We will continue to provide our fullest support to ensure her speedy recovery. We sincerely thank fans for the constant love and support you show to TWICE.
Thank you.
JYP Entertainment."
