On Saturday (Jan. 11), Monsta X’s label Starship Entertainment issued a statement revealing that Joohoney would be taking a leave of absence from the act due to anxiety.

“Joohoney recently visited multiple professional medical institutions for accurate diagnosis regarding anxiety symptoms,” the statement reads. “The results of the examination showed that due to anxiety symptoms, sufficient rest and stability are essential for him to make a full recovery. We have had a thorough discussion with Joohoney and Monsta X members, and have decided to take continuous treatment and stability which focus on the restoration of Joohoney.”
