On July 28 KST, aespa's agency SM Entertainment announced through the group's official account, "Following a doctor's diagnosis after rehearsals, Karina will not be able to perform in today's concert in Osaka due to health reasons."

They added, "We deeply apologize to those who have supported Karina and were looking forward to the performance. We ask for your understanding and patience. Today's performance will proceed with Winter, Giselle, and Ningning."

Aespa is holding their ‘SYNK: PARALLEL LINE’ concert at the Asue Arena in Osaka on July 27 and 28. The tour will continue in Fukuoka on July 30 and 31.

This extends its record as the longest-running #1 song released this year, demonstrating its unmatched popularity both domestically and internationally.
