The leader sustained an ankle injury during the group's concert "Holiday in the City" that was held on July 10, and according to a doctor's diagnosis, it was confirmed to be an ankle ligament injury. While it will not be a big inconvenience to his daily life, he will have to monitor closely and have enough rest for a full recovery. In accordance, Seung Yoon will be taking a break from WINNER's group activities, and WINNER will be taking a break from this week's music programs that would require performance.

The whole statement reads:

"Hello, this is YG Entertainment.

This is an announcement regarding WINNER member Kang Seungyoon's ankle injury.

WINNER member Kang Seung-yoon's ankle felt uncomfortable during the guerrilla event "HOLIDAY IN THE CITY" that was held on July 10, so he visited a nearby hospital immediately after the event to conduct a thorough examination.

The test confirmed an ankle ligament injury today (July 11), and the doctor diagnosed that it is not a big inconvenience to daily life, but requires stability in the time being.

Accordingly, WINNER will be taking a break from this week's music programs that require performance.

However, the artist himself has a strong will to keep his promise with his fans, so he decided to proceed with some schedules that requires minimal movement.

For future appearances on music programs, it will be discussed accordingly depending on the artist's recovery, so we would appreciate it if you could understand this.

Thank you very much for your love for WINNER's 4th mini album 'Holiday', and we will put the artist's health and safety first and work hard for Kang Seung Yoon's quick recovery.

Thank you."

Wishing Seung Yoon a speedy recovery.
