BOL4's Ahn Ji Young will be taking a break from activities due to her deteriorating health condition. On Wednesday, Nov. 11, the singer's agency Shofar Music released an official statement concerning her health status and future activities.
According to the label, Ahn Ji Young has been going to medical centers since the first half of this year because her anxiety symptoms start to worsen. It was revealed that she has been taking prescriptions and receiving therapy treatment. Despite this, her anxiety symptoms continued to become serious.
After realizing that the artist would experience difficulty carrying out her activities due to her recently worsened health condition, Shofar Music decided to delay Bolbbalgan4's promotions until she fully recovers.
The entertainment agency further stated, "Our artist's health is our top priority, and we will focus on her health by postponing all activities for the time being. We apologize for causing concern to fans and all the people involved with the sudden news. We ask you to refrain from speculation or misunderstanding related to Jiyoung's health and activities."
"We will do our best to help Jiyoung recover her health, and we ask that you support her until she returns in good health," Shofar Music added.
