Gyuri has asked for prayers from her loved ones ahead of her surgery.

On July 14, the KARA member posted on her official X account, requesting viewers to send their prayers before her surgery the next day. Accompanying a photo of her feet as she lay on a hospital bed, Gyuri wrote:

"I undergo surgery tomorrow.
I wanted to rely on the shoulders of my people.
Please pray for me."

According to her label, Big Boss Entertainment, Gyuri recently sustained severe fractures in her cheekbone and eye socket during a private schedule and sought medical examination. Doctors advised surgery, followed by a recovery period of four to five weeks.

As a result, she has halted all scheduled activities for July. Meanwhile, KARA is set to release a new single, "I Do I Do," on July 24, followed by concerts in Tokyo and Osaka in August.

Fans and netizens responded to Gyuri's post with supportive messages such as:

"I support you. Leaning on others can sometimes give you strength. I hope for a good outcome."

"I will pray for you."

"Oh dear. Your surgery will go well. Don't worry and get some rest."

"The surgery will definitely go well!!!! I will pray for you."

"I am praying deeply for you."

"The surgery will go very well, so don't worry!!"

"Everything will be fine. Stay strong."

"I hope the surgery goes well and you have a quick recovery."

"Come back healthy soon and smile for us."

We wish Gyuri a safe surgery and a speedy recovery!
