Whee In is unable to perform with MAMAMOO at 'KCON 2019 LA' due to health concerns.

On August 17, RBW Entertainment revealed, "The MAMAMOO members arrived at the airport on Friday to fly to LA. They were waiting to board after checking in when Whee In expressed she suddenly felt dizzy and her condition worsened. She's currently been moved to the hospital, where she'll receive an examination and get rest."

RBW added, "Whee In wanted to board the flight to keep her promise to meet fans in LA, but we came to the conclusion that due to the long flight, her condition might have worsened." The label further stated they would update fans when they know more about Whee In's condition and asked for fans' understanding for her unexpected absence.

Stay tuned for updates on Whee In.

Disappointing for fans understandably, but it seems agencies are finally taking idols's health seriously! So all in all, some progress!

The words "health concerns" always freak me out. They make the issue sound much worse than just saying that someone is sick. If you're said to be sick, it sounds as if the cause of the sickness has already been determined, it's probably something minor and you're being treated for it. But talk about "health concerns" make the issue sound undetermined and therefore ominous, as if it's serious but the doctors haven't yet figured out what it's about, or that they have figured out the problem but decide to use a euphemism to describe it in public statements to avoid causing concern.
