In light of these efforts, Jun and The8 will be returning to China to focus on their activities there, from September to December. "They will be resuming their activities in China that have been postponed due to COVID-19, and spend time with their family members after having been forced to stay apart from them for a considerable amount of time due to the pandemic," said Pledis Entertainment.
This decision was also made as traveling across countries and regions demand excessive effort and time with the challenges brought upon by the current situation on international and regional travel, in addition to the requirement of undergoing self-quarantine.
