On December 14 KST, rookie girl group Weeekly's agency, IST Entertainment (formerly known as Play M Entertainment), announced that member Shin Ji Yoon, who took a hiatus for around four months to focus on her recovery and health, will be making a return to group activities after careful discussion with the idol, her family, specialists, and the agency.
Back in August of this year, it was announced that Shin Ji Yoon would not be participating in the group's comeback for their mini-album "Play Game: Holiday," and would instead, promote as a six-member group for the time being.
According to the agency, Shin Ji Yoon had to halt her activities due to intermittent symptoms of anxiety, and has since then been on hiatus to recover and receive professional treatment from a medical facility after having careful discussion with her family and a specialist regarding the matter.
