On June 5, 2026, LE SSERAFIM’s agency Source Music released an official statement addressing Kim Chaewon’s current health condition. The message was both honest and reassuring, confirming that Chaewon has been experiencing vocal cord strain and fatigue after their intense promotions for “Boompala” and the PUREFLOW album. While not serious, the group has decided to adjust parts of their upcoming schedule to give her proper rest and recovery time.
The statement emphasized that Chaewon is receiving thorough medical care and is expected to make a full recovery soon. The rest of the members will continue selected activities, but several group appearances have been postponed or modified out of caution.
LE SSERAFIM’s Updated Schedule (June 2026)
| Date | Original Plan | Updated Status |
|---|---|---|
| June 6–8 | Music show appearances | Chaewon will sit out; 4-member performances |
| June 12 | Fan meeting event | Postponed to late June |
| June 15–20 | Japan promotion schedule | Proceeding with full group |
| Late June | “Boompala” encore stages | Confirmed with Chaewon’s return |
In the statement, the agency wrote: “We ask for your warm understanding as we prioritize Chaewon’s health. The members are deeply grateful for all the love you continue to show, and we will do our best to return even stronger.”
This update comes right after their emotional first win for “Boompala” on Music Bank and their record-breaking Billboard success with PUREFLOW. It also follows the strong momentum we’ve seen from groups like CORTIS dominating rookie rankings, AND2BLE’s back-to-back wins, and TREASURE breaking sales records.
