Kim Hee-Su, a member of the group The Wind, will suspend activities due to unforeseen health issues.

The Wind’s agency, Pangstar Entertainment, issued an official statement on the morning of the 6th to share Kim Hee-Su’s health status and future activity plans.

The agency stated, “Kim Hee-Su has recently been receiving consistent treatment at a medical institution due to anxiety symptoms,” and added, “While we continued activities while continuously checking the artist’s health condition, based on the medical staff’s opinion, we determined that sufficient rest and recovery are needed for the time being and decided on a temporary suspension of activities for Kim Hee-Su.”

Accordingly, The Wind will continue activities as a five-member group with Choi Han-Bin, Jang Hyun-Jun, Ahn Chan-Won, Thanaton, and Park Ha-Yu-Chan, excluding Kim Hee-Su.

The agency added, “We ask for fans’ understanding,” and “We will do our best to help Kim Hee-Su recover his health through sufficient rest and treatment.”

Debuting on May 15, 2023, The Wind has released three mini-albums and two singles. After releasing the digital single ‘Hello, Tomorrow’ in May last year to mark the second anniversary of their debut, they have been preparing a new album.
