NCT DREAM's Haechan has stepped back from his schedule due to sudden pain.

On July 22, their agency, SM Entertainment, announced that Haechan would not participate in the scheduled NCT DREAM fan meeting.

They stated, "After finishing his schedule today, Haechan experienced sudden pain in his shoulder and back. He was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment, but the pain continues, making movement difficult. Due to the weekend, a detailed examination is planned for next Monday."

SM Entertainment further explained, "In consideration that pursuing the schedule might lead to more severe injuries, Haechan regrettably will not participate in the '2023 NCT DREAM 7th ANNIVERSARY FANMEETING [DREAMLAND]' held today, July 22. We decided that it would be best for Haechan's condition to minimize movement, so he will also be unable to attend the SBS 'Inkigayo' and album signing event scheduled for the 23rd. We ask for the fans' understanding and patience."

In conclusion, they stated, "We apologize for causing worry with this sudden news and will provide updates about Haechan's health status as soon as possible after his detailed diagnosis next week."

Meanwhile, NCT DREAM, which includes Haechan, released their third regular album 'ISTJ' on the 17th and is promoting with the title song of the same name. 'ISTJ' is a hybrid hip-hop dance track that breaks the stereotypical framework of MBTI in its lyrics, telling a story filled with the confidence of an ENFP who has their own way of interpreting the ISTJ type.
