Comeback weeks are packed for any K-pop group, and KickFlip’s is no exception. But on October 13, fans got some worrying news: members Kyehoon and Donghwa will skip part of their promotions to rest. Here is what’s changed and what’s still on.
What Happened?
JYP Entertainment announced that both members visited the hospital earlier that day with fever and body aches. After a medical evaluation, they were advised to get plenty of rest. The agency said the decision was made with the artists’ health as the top priority.
The statement didn’t mention any serious diagnosis, so there is no need to worry beyond what the agency has shared. Let’s keep the focus on a speedy recovery.
KickFlip Schedule Changes

The Silver Lining for Fans
Despite the setbacks, the two members will still join KickFlip’s Show Champion pre-recording and live performance on October 14. They will also join the M Countdown pre-recording on October 15. That means fans can still catch the full group on the music-show stages this week.
Kyehoon will miss his MC duties on M Countdown this week. The agency said it will share any further schedule changes as they come up.
Why Rest Matters During a Comeback?
Comeback season often means:
- Back-to-back schedules: music shows, radio visits, variety appearances and fan events.
- Intense practice: repeated live performances and long rehearsals.
- Little downtime: even small illnesses can snowball without proper rest.
Agencies are increasingly putting health first, and that is a good sign for the industry. A short break now can protect the group’s momentum later.
How Fans Can Support?
- Stay patient and respect the agency’s updates.
- Avoid spreading unverified rumours.
- Send kind messages and keep streaming the comeback.
