On July 3, his label Starship Entertainment announced Shownu's emergency surgery on Twitter, stating, "Shownu was undergoing a preliminary examination at the ophthalmologist's office to undergo Lasik surgery scheduled for the 2nd, and after a thorough examination, it was found there was something wrong with his retina."

The label continued, "He had to undergo surgery this afternoon.
