A.C.E’s agency, BEAT INTERACTIVE, announced on July 8 that member Kang Yuchan will be taking a break from the group’s upcoming US tour due to health reasons. Yuchan was diagnosed with a damaged eardrum caused by otitis media, also known as a middle ear infection.
Following advice from medical professionals, Yuchan will refrain from flying and performing to focus on his recovery. This unfortunately means that he will be absent from A.C.E’s scheduled concert in Minneapolis on July 9 and subsequent tour stops.
