Sunwoo, a member of THE BOYZ, will temporarily leave the group, according to a notice released on August 30 by IST Entertainment. Sunwoo recently complained of being unwell, the agency claims. His activities will be put on hold until further notice after talks between the artist and the company.

The official statement is provided below:

“Hello.

This is IST Entertainment.

First of all, we sincerely thank the fans who support and love THE BOYZ.

We would like to inform you about the temporary suspension of activities of THE BOYZ member Sunwoo.

Recently, Sunwoo complained of poor physical condition and health problems.

After careful discussion with the artist himself, we have decided to temporarily suspend his activities and focus on his health recovery.

We ask for your understanding of the decision to put the artist's health first.

Information on future recovery status and schedule joining will be announced at a later date.

We apologize for causing concern to fans with this sudden news, and we ask for your support and encouragement.

Thank you”

Eric, the youngest member, previously took a hiatus from the group in March to concentrate on his health, but he has now returned to his native Los Angeles. The member was reportedly observed attending the group's performance earlier in the month but has yet to resume activities. Attendees of GOT7 member Mark Tuan's listening party for his solo album on August 25 also noticed him.

As previous member Hyunjae was reportedly rushed to a hospital for treatment when he felt unwell during a music show promotion schedule, fans of the group have also turned out to support the members and beg the firm for their relaxation.

The Boys are presently promoting their seventh mini-album, BE AWARE, which debuted on August 16 and features the song "WHISPER" as its title track.
