[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] GFriend member Umji will be absent from activities for the time being due to a leg injury.

On the 13th, GFriend's agency Source Music stated, "Umji recently experienced pain in her leg and visited a hospital, where a specialist diagnosed damage to her leg muscles and tendons. We received the opinion that sufficient rest and treatment must be combined for recovery," adding, "She will be absent from schedules that put strain on the painful area for the time being."

They continued, "For most schedules, only the other five members will participate excluding Umji," and said, "Whether she resumes activities will be decided based on her recovery status and test results."

They also said, "We regret to inform our Buddy (fan club) members of the injury news during a time when we were preparing to show various performances such as year-end stages," and added, "This decision was made with Umji's health as the top priority, so we ask for your generous understanding. We always prioritize the health and safety of all artists and will do our best to help Umji recover quickly."

Meanwhile, GFriend made a comeback last month with their full-length album '回:Walpurgis Night' and promoted the title track "MAGO."
