More and more fans are becoming concerned about their favorite idols’ condition as international tours begin.
P1Harmony‘s latest tour, 2024 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H : UTOP1A] in Seoul and North America, recently kicked off on April 28th in Seoul. It will continue in the U.S., beginning on May 14th in Houston.
Yet, it has since been announced that Jiung will not be able to participate as he has been diagnosed with a thigh muscle rupture. He will also miss KCON Japan 2024.
Hello. This is FNC Entertainment.
We would like to express our gratitude to all the fans who have always shown abundant love and support for our artist, P1Harmony’s Jiung, and we would like to provide some guidance regarding Jiung’s activities.
During the 2024 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H] UTOP1A IN SEOUL performance, Jiung felt discomfort in his thigh and visited the hospital the following day for a detailed examination, where he was diagnosed with a thigh muscle tear requiring approximately three weeks of treatment. Following the medical advice for sufficient rest, it has been decided to suspend the scheduled activities and focus on recovery by admitting Jiung to the hospital.
As a result, it is expected that Jiung will have difficulty participating in some cities of 2024 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H] UTOP1A North American tour and KCON JAPAN 2024, and therefore, P1Harmony will continue activities as a five-person system for the time being.
The resumption of activities schedule will be announced later through further notice.
We apologize for the sudden news causing concern to the fans, and we assure you that we will do our best for Jiung’s speedy recovery and stability.

Recently, a clip of Keeho and Jiung talking about never having a break went viral. They discussed never having time to rest, as there is no “off-season.” So, they try to support each other and remain healthy as best they can. Fans pointed out that the lack of rest contributes to sickness and injury.

P1eces are hoping Jiung will finally get his well-deserved rest. Yet, this criticism against FNC Entertainment, overworking P1Harmony, is not new. The fans were already concerned, as the company doesn’t even allow a year to pass before another tour is announced.

It’s not only P1Harmony that K-Pop fans are worried is overworked these days. Like P1Harmony, TXT is soon embarking on their TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR <ACT : PROMISE>. It recently kicked off on May 3rd in Seoul.
During the Seoul concerts, leader Soobin appeared visibly unwell. He was even spotted collapsing on stage, raising concerns for his health.
I’m so fucking scared about this, about Soobin’s health status as well as all the other members, @BIGHIT_MUSIC we don’t need concerts, WE DON’T NEED ANY DAMN CONCERT ANYMORE!!! WE ONLY WANT THEM TO REST!!! let them rest they are human!!! pic.twitter.com/lJWgoZXqTK

it is concerning that we are two days in to your and on both days this has happened to soobin. that company need to do better. jeopardising their health is not ok. even when exhausted they give their all, you’re going to burn them out. let them rest.

Soobin tried his best to hide his pain/tireness throughtout the concert and only let it show when the lights were dim and he thought moas couldnt see :((( BIGHIT WHEN I CATCH U https://t.co/yFOD5L0VWf

MOAs are upset and worried about Soobin as he shows signs of exhaustion. They fear the TXT members are being overworked as well as they have little to no free time, and their health is only worsening ahead of an international tour.
I’ve never seen soobin this tired… and the concerts are just making his health worse as we saw yesterday and today ☹️

Please show your concern for our members and soobin the right way, this is not the time to demand more solo hours or downplay it and give the burden to others, txt’s health has deteriorated these days and the point is to give him a break and better treatment ! https://t.co/YUKZySGZM9

As much as K-Pop fans were excited to see their favorite groups on tour this summer, they are alarmed by these recent incidents. They wish the idols would be given more time to rest, especially before venturing out on yet another strenuous tour.
I kinda want them to cancel the tour and everyone their money or postpone it so everyone get healthy. FNC is doing the same thing to p1harmony and one of the members muscles ruptured… knowing that he is sick and exhausted could lead to way bigger issues.. END THE FUCKING TOUR https://t.co/sjpyGjcXGU

We hope both the P1Harmony and TXT members get the rest they need. They all work so hard.
