Seventeen's Seungkwan has provided an update on his condition following a hiatus from group activities.

On the 16th, Seungkwan reached out to fans on the community platform Weverse, saying, "I had a lot I wanted to share, but foremost, I've missed you all. Carats must be wondering how I've been doing. I'm resting and recovering well."

He added, "I feel like this is the first time I've truly taken a break. I've had short vacations now and then, but this is the first time in my life where I've taken a moment to fully reflect on myself, recharge, and prepare to move forward. Admittedly, resting wasn't easy at first."

Expressing gratitude and apologies, Seungkwan mentioned, "Seeing the members filling the void in my absence, and the Carats who support and wait for me, even hesitating out of concern, makes me both thankful and regretful due to my nature."

He continued, "Thanks to all the support, I feel much better and have a feeling that we'll meet soon. I'll share more later. I promise to greet you with a smile soon."

Seungkwan had taken a break due to health issues. Last month, Pledis Entertainment stated, "Seungkwan recently visited the hospital due to his condition and was advised by medical professionals to rest and recuperate fully. While the artist himself has a strong will to continue with his activities, the company believes it's best for him to focus on his health for the time being."

Below is the full post from Seungkwan on Weverse:


Hey Carats, how have you been? It's been a while.

I had so much I wanted to say, but I missed you all so much first and foremost..!

You all must have been wondering how I've been, right?

I'm doing well, resting and recovering.

This feels like the first time I've truly rested.

I've had brief breaks in the past, but

this is the first time in my life where I've taken time to fully reflect and recharge. Initially, even resting wasn't easy.

Seeing the members stepping up in my absence,

and the Carats supporting and waiting for me,

makes me so grateful, yet so apologetic.

Still, thanks to all the encouragement,

I'm recovering a lot faster.

I have a feeling we'll meet soon.

Originally, I wanted to keep it short and just post a photo, but

it seems I had more to say than I thought, haha.

I'll end it here for today,

and promise to share more with you later.

I'll come back with a smiley greeting!

Thank you, Carats. Sleep well.

p.s. Eating well, sleeping well, swelling is reducing, don't worry.
