On June 14, ILLIT’s agency BELIFT LAB announced that Wonhee sustained an ankle injury earlier this week. She has since received medical help and the professionals have advised her to minimize excessive movements. In addition, she is also taking support of an ankle brace to reduce tension and strain on the injury.

On this day, the agency further stated that, though Wonhee will participate in the Weverse Con Festival 2024 on June 15, she will remain seated during ILLIT’s stage. She will also not participate in the choreography performance alongside other members.

BELIFT LAB said that since Wonhee is excited to attend the festival alongside other members, the agency has taken this decision without causing further harm to her injured ankle.

“We will do our best to aid in Wonhee’s treatment so that she gets a soon recovery and returns with better health to her fans”, ILLIT’s agency expressed their utmost support towards the K-pop idol.
