Overview
- JYP Entertainment announced Tuesday that Yeji has a herniated disc and will limit her parts at ITZY’s Japan shows on May 9–10.
- She sought hospital care for lower back pain, and a specialist advised her to avoid movements that strain her back.
- The agency said she intends to appear on stage as much as doctors allow so she can meet fans.
- JYP apologized to fans and said treatment and recovery are the top priority, with no full cancellations in the notice.
- As ITZY’s leader and a key dancer-vocalist, any cutbacks to choreography carry added impact, following her solo EP Air in March 2025.
