K-pop Idol Forced to Scale Back Activities After Shoulder Diagnosis

ONF member E-Tion is minimizing his activities after suffering a shoulder injury.

ONF’s agency KI Entertainment announced through the group’s fan community on August 4, “Due to ongoing shoulder pain, E-Tion underwent a detailed examination and was diagnosed with a partial rotator cuff tear.”

The agency continued, “Per the medical team’s recommendation, he will minimize strenuous movement and focus on recovery,” explaining that “performances at fan event venues will also be temporarily replaced with live stage formats.”

The agency added, “We will continue to prioritize our artist’s health above all else, closely monitoring his recovery as we plan future activities. We ask for fans’ generous understanding.”

Meanwhile, ONF’s contract with WM Entertainment expired this past January, after which the full group moved to KI Entertainment in March. The group made their comeback in June with their second full album, “ONF: MY SELF.”
