On January 26 KST, Woollim Entertainment released a statement regarding DRIPPIN member Alex, temporarily suspending activities due to his health.
The company released the below statement.
"Hello.
This is Woollim Entertainment.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the fans who have shown great interest and generous love to our artist, DRIPPIN.
Alex, a member of Drippin, recently showed symptoms of poor physical condition, so we had a lot of discussions with him and his parents.
We agreed that it would be good to take a break for the time being and have time to focus on recovering his health, so Alex's activities have been temporarily suspended.
Accordingly, DRIPPIN plans to continue its activities as a 6-member group for the time being.
We apologize for causing concern to fans with the sudden news and ask for your understanding, and we will do our best for the artist's recovery.
We will work hard in the new year, to show DRIPPIN be active in 2023.
We ask for your continued interest and love.
Thank you."
Hopefully Alex makes a speedy recovery and returns to group activities.
Wish him the best and am sure it was a difficult decision. Hope his health improves quickly!
