On July 13, YG Entertainment provided fans of the monster rookie boy group TREASURE with an update on the future promotions of the group, confirming members Yedam and Mashiho would not be returning this year.
It is currently understood Mashiho has taken time off to recover from injuries and mental health, while Yedam has taken time off for studies.
Read the full statement below:
Hello, this is YG Entertainment.
We would like to make a brief announcement on TREASURE’s future activities for this year to TREASURE MAKERS who have shown nothing but great support for TREASURE.
TREASURE has been conducting activities as a 10-member group due to personal and health reasons, and it has been decided that the group will continue to do so until their comeback this summer and concert tour scheduled until the end of year.
Although we are facing internal difficulties and we understand how fans are upset, the remaining 10 members are exerting all-out efforts for their upcoming activities not to make fans feel the absence of the other two members.
TREASURE, who sees their 2nd debut anniversary this August, will come meet fans with greater music and maturity as a group.
We ask for great support and encouragement from TREASURE MAKERS for TREASURE who will be active as a 10-member group including CHOI HYUN SUK, JIHOON, YOSHI, JUNKYU, YOON JAE HYUK, ASAHI, DOYOUNG, HARUTO, PARK JEONG WOO, and SO JUNG HWAN.
Thank you.
