Following the conclusion of promotions for Red Velvet's latest track, "Chill Kill," third-generation female idol Yeri is set to undergo medical treatment for a slipped disc. The revelation came after the group's final performance on SBS's Inkigayo, where fans sadly witnessed Yeri leaving the stage immediately.
Fans present at the pre-recording disclosed that Yeri, experiencing intense back pain, had to forgo participating in the live segment and instead received injections for her condition at the hospital. Irene, the group's leader, was also absent from the segment, leading fans to speculate that she accompanied Yeri to seek medical attention.
Despite her health challenges, Yeri managed to attend the group's face-to-face fansign event, where she candidly shared the reason behind her back pain. According to a fan in attendance, Yeri disclosed that she suffered a slipped disc during the comeback preparations. She is currently receiving injections for pain management and plans to undergo full treatment after concluding the "Chill Kill" promotions.
In a considerate gesture, Yeri updated fans via Bubble messages, expressing gratitude for their support and apologizing for being unable to greet them during the live show.
