On February 21st, ATEEZ Raehyun was announced via KQ Entertainment's official website to be on sit out during group activities and go on hiatus due to health issues.
Many fans believe her hiatus has a connection to the malicious comment that has been recently directed to the singer since late January.
This was KQ's Statement: "Hello this is KQ Entertainment, Many have left us many questions about our artist Raehyun and her sudden behaviour change as well as her health. After meeting with her in private, we have concluded to have Raehyun go on hiatus. She has been dealing with major insecurities and feels uncomfortable being in the public eye. As well as experiencing panic attacks during practice and concerts. To avoid any further issues with her health, we have noted her to rest instead of performing with ATEEZ at their concerts. Immediate actions will be taken against any further malicious comments being sent to Raehyun. We hope fans understand and will send Raehyun their regards of support. Thank you."
𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿: 안녕하세요. KQ 엔터테인먼트입니다. 많은 사람들이 아티스트 래현과 그녀의 갑작스런 행동 변화 및 건강에 대해 많은 질문을 남겼습니다. 그녀와 개인적으로 만난 후, 우리는 래현에게 허풍을 가야한다는 결론에 도달했습니다. 그녀는 큰 불안감을 다루었 고 대중의 눈에는 불편 함을 느낍니다. 연습 및 콘서트 중에 공황 발작을 경험할 수 있습니다. 그녀의 건강에 대한 추가 문제를 피하기 위해, 그녀는 콘서트에서 에이티즈로 공연하는 대신 휴식을 취해야한다는 점을 주목했습니다. 래현으로 전송되는 추가 악의적 인 의견에 대해 즉각적인 조치가 취해질 것입니다. 우리는 팬들이 래현에게 지원에 대한 이해를 이해하고 보내길 바랍니다. 감사합니다.
KQ also released a handwritten letter by Raehyun for fans to understand her struggles.
Raehyun's letter: "Hello, it's Raehyun. Honestly, I never thought I would write something like this but things happen spontaneously. Recently, many of you have noticed my change of behaviour and constantly ask about my health. I always replied that I was fine but I was wrong. I was not fine. I am still not fine. I have gotten more insecure with myself than I ever was when I was younger. I feel numb whenever I am in public. I want to hide from the world and never come out. I do not want to be an Idol anymore because of this. The things I once loved about myself was turned against me and were turned into negative things. I spent nights crying from the comments about my weight and image. I read the ones that called me lazy and untalented. At first, I ignored them and tried to move along from it, but the more I ignore it, the more hate I seemed to get. It haunted me. In my dreams, my thoughts, everywhere. I went numb because of these haunting words. I believe it and thought I was the most useless person on this planet and that I didn't deserve to debut with such talented boys like ATEEZ. I have never felt more vulnerable than I do at this very moment. I hope ATINY understand and will wait for me. Thank you, Kim Raehyun."
𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿: 안녕하세요, 래현입니다, 솔직히, 나는 이런 식으로 글을 쓰지 않을 것이라고 생각했지만 일이 자발적으로 발생합니다. 최근에, 여러분 중 많은 사람들이 저의 행동 변화를 알아 차리고 끊임없이 내 건강에 대해 묻습니다. 나는 항상 내가 괜찮다고 대답했지만 틀렸다. 나는 좋지 않았다. 나는 여전히 좋지 않다. 내가 어렸을 때보 다 나 자신보다 더 불안해졌습니다. 나는 공공 장소에있을 때마다 감각이 없다. 세상에서 숨기고 싶지 않아요. 나는이 때문에 더 이상 우상이되고 싶지 않다. 한때 나 자신에 대해 사랑했던 것들이 나를 대적하여 부정적인 것으로 바뀌 었습니다. 나는 밤에 내 몸무게와 이미지에 대한 의견을 외치며 울었습니다. 나는 게으르고 재능이 없다고 읽은 것을 읽었습니다. 처음에 나는 그것들을 무시하고 그것을 따라 가려고 노력했지만, 그것을 무시할수록 더 미워하는 것처럼 보였다. 그것은 나를 괴롭혔다. 내 꿈, 내 생각, 어디서나. 나는이 잊혀진 말 때문에 마비되었다 나는 그것을 믿고이 지구상에서 가장 쓸모없는 사람이라고 생각했고 에이티즈와 같은 재능있는 소년들과 데뷔 할 자격이 없다고 생각했습니다. 지금이 순간보다 더 취약하다고 느낀 적이 없습니다. 에이티니가 나를 이해하고 기다릴 수 있기를 바랍니다. 감사합니다 김래현.
Earlier this month, fans have taken notice of her change of behaviour during promotions and concerts, commonly stating she had lost her stage presence as well as her confidence.
Since the announcement was made, fans and idols have sent her their best wishes and hope for her to return healthily.
