[Sports Today reporter Jeong Ye-won] TWICE member Chaeyoung has postponed an overseas trip due to a health issue.

JYP Entertainment said on the 26th via its official channels that Chaeyoung experienced sudden lower-back discomfort this morning while preparing to depart.

The agency said the issue required urgent medical attention, so they had no choice but to postpone her departure. Chaeyoung will receive examination and treatment from medical staff.

She will not travel with the other members today and will remain in South Korea to undergo tests and any necessary treatment. After doctors carefully review her test results and monitor her recovery, the agency plans to reschedule her departure as soon as it is medically appropriate, the statement said.

The agency added that it will notify fans promptly if there are any changes to performance dates. Even if Chaeyoung participates in upcoming shows, parts of her performance may be limited. We sincerely apologize to ONCEs who were looking forward to the performances for causing concern with this sudden news, the statement said.

Earlier, TWICE confirmed that member Dahyun suspended activities after fracturing her ankle. Dahyun, who missed last month's North American shows, said she will take time off to focus on recovery.

Meanwhile, TWICE is currently on its world tour \"THIS IS FOR.\"
