Aespa's Winter Undergoes Preventive Surgery for Collapsed Lung

The K-pop singer is currently in recovery following the procedure aimed at preventing recurrence of the condition.

Winter, a member of the K-pop group Aespa, recently had surgery to treat a collapsed lung, known medically as pneumothorax.
The surgery was described as preventive, due to the condition's tendency to recur, and was based on medical advice after thorough discussion.
SM Entertainment, Winter's label, has stated that her recovery is their top priority, affecting her participation in upcoming group schedules.
Aespa is set to release new music and continue their world tour, with adjustments to be made based on Winter's recovery status.
Winter will also take a hiatus from performances as she recovers from the surgery.
