KickFlip members Kyehoon and Donghwa will be temporarily limiting their participation in the group’s comeback promotions after experiencing health issues.

JYP Entertainment announced on October 13 that both idols had visited the hospital due to fever and body aches and had been advised to get sufficient rest.

The announcement comes as the boy group continues its scheduled promotional activities.

The agency explained that the decision was made to prioritize the members’ health and recovery, prompting changes to several upcoming appearances.

While some activities have been canceled or adjusted, KickFlip will continue with a limited schedule involving Kyehoon and Donghwa.

The news has prompted concern among fans, who have been looking forward to the group’s comeback and are hoping both members recover soon.

JYP Entertainment Announces Changes to KickFlip’s Schedule

According to JYP Entertainment’s official statement, Kyehoon and Donghwa visited the hospital on October 13 after experiencing fever and body aches.

Following medical evaluation, they were advised to rest and recover before resuming their full schedules.

As a result, KickFlip’s scheduled recording for SBS Power FM’s Wendy’s Young Street on October 13 was canceled.

The group’s appearance on MBC FM4U’s ZEROBASEONE’s Close Friend, however, proceeded with the remaining four members, excluding Kyehoon and Donghwa.

The agency also confirmed that the two members would participate in only a limited number of scheduled activities during the week.

JYP Entertainment emphasized that the adjustments were made with the artists’ health as the top priority.

The agency apologized for any concern the announcement might cause and asked fans for their understanding while the members take the time needed to recover.

The statement also noted that further schedule changes would be announced if necessary.

Kyehoon and Donghwa to Participate in Selected Music Show Activities

Despite the changes, Kyehoon and Donghwa are still scheduled to participate in certain upcoming music show activities.

Both members are expected to take part in KickFlip’s pre-recording and live performance for MBC M’s Show Champion on October 14.

They are also scheduled to participate in the pre-recording for Mnet’s M Countdown on October 15.

However, Kyehoon will not carry out his usual duties as an MC on this week’s episode of M Countdown.

The adjustment allows the group to maintain parts of its promotional schedule while limiting the members’ commitments.

KickFlip consists of Kyehoon, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju, and Donghyeon.

The group has continued its activities while navigating health-related schedule changes, making the latest announcement particularly important for fans following its comeback promotions.

JYP Entertainment concluded its statement by reiterating that it would do its utmost to support the members’ full recovery.

As fans await further updates, many will be hoping that Kyehoon and Donghwa can rest adequately and return to their usual activities when they are ready.

Their health remains the priority as KickFlip continues its comeback promotions with an adjusted schedule.

We wish Kyehoon and Donghwa a speedy recovery!
