Twice member Chaeyoung diagnosed with vasovagal syncope, pauses activities

K-pop girl group Twice member Chaeyoung has been diagnosed with vasovagal syncope and will be pausing all group activities until the end of the year to focus on her recovery.

JYP Entertainment announced on November 20 that Chaeyoung underwent medical examinations and was advised to rest.

The agency stated that further reviews confirmed Chaeyoung needed more time to recover.

Due to her condition, Chaeyoung will miss upcoming stops on TWICE's 'This Is for' world tour, including performances in Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, and Bangkok, and may participate in other schedules to a limited extent.

Vasovagal syncope is described as a condition where the vagus nerve becomes overstimulated, causing a drop in blood pressure and reduced blood flow to the brain, potentially leading to a loss of consciousness.
