ZICO was scheduled to appear at Yonsei University’s school festival today, on May 26. 

However, he was diagnosed with laryngitis yesterday after some discomfort during practice, ultimately having no choice but to miss the festival.

He sincerely apologizes and further explains that he thought a sloppy performance would be inappropriate and a disservice to the organizer and audience.

KOZ Entertainment adds on that they prioritize their artists’ health and wellbeing, and asks for everyone’s understanding.
