Jeonghan to wear cast during Seventeen’s ‘Be The Sun’ tour due to elbow injury
Jeonghan will be wearing a cast at SEVENTEEN’s upcoming “Be The Sun” world tour due to his elbow injury.
In an official statement, Pledis Entertainment confirmed that Jeonghan has been “receiving conservative treatment” for lateral epicondylitis and tendon damage in his right elbow. However, due to the worsening of his condition, surgery was deemed necessary on June 15.
“The operation was successful, and the artist has been recuperating after being discharged as of Thursday the 16th. JEONGHAN will be wearing a cast for the time being, as well as a brace in order to protect the treated area, and to aid in a faster recovery,” Pledis said.
Despite his injury, the music label said Jeonghan is “still highly determined” to move forward with SEVENTEEN’s activities including their upcoming “Be The Sun” world tour which will kick off on June 25 at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
Of course, Carats expressed their support and concern for Jeonghan’s recovery.
