LOONA’s Haseul is going to be stepping back from activities.

In a statement released on January 8, LOONA’s agency Blockberry Creative announced that Haseul would be sitting out of upcoming scheduled activities for health reasons.

The full statement from Blockberry Creative reads as follows:

"Hello, this is Blockberry Creative.

We have an announcement to make regarding the health of LOONA member Haseul.

Haseul recently went to the hospital to receive treatment for symptoms of anxiety. There she was diagnosed with recurring anxiety, and her doctor recommended that she receive treatment to make a full recovery.

Though Haseul wants to continue greeting her fans as promised at their fan meeting last month, it has been decided that for the sake of her focusing on her mental health that she will take a temporary hiatus from promotions and other scheduled activities.

Haseul will be spending time with her family and her group members and focus her strength on recovering. Until such time, she will not be promoting the new album “# (Hash).”

Wes sincerely apologize to all of the fans who love LOONA for the sudden news. The remaining 11 members of LOONA will continue promotions as scheduled.

We will release a statement when we have an update from Haseul’s doctor on her condition.

We ask for the fans’ understading and to keep Haseul in their thoughts.

Thank you."

We wish Haseul a speedy recovery!
