[All] BoA, I heard that your concert was also canceled due to the diagnosis of acute osteonecrosis.

I read an article that said BoA's concert was canceled because she was diagnosed with acute osteonecrosis.

Osteonecrosis is a disease in which bone tissue dies due to lack of blood supply to the bone...

Having been a dance singer since childhood, I think I must have put a lot of strain on my joints.

The dances that BoA was dancing were also very aggressive...

You must have been preparing really hard for your 25th debut anniversary concert, but it must be disappointing for the fans and for BoA.

I hope to see you recover well from your surgery and return to your career as a dance singer.

Singer BoA has canceled her solo concert scheduled for August due to health reasons.

Agency SM Entertainment released an official statement on the 15th, saying, "BoA's fifth solo concert has become difficult to proceed with due to the artist's health reasons."

SM According to reports, BoA was recently diagnosed with acute osteonecrosis requiring surgical treatment at a hospital she visited due to worsening knee pain. Osteonecrosis is a disease in which bone cells in the affected area die when the blood vessels supplying blood to the bone are blocked or damaged.

The agency said, "In order to prevent the progression of the disease, we decided to have the surgery based on the medical team's opinion that we should refrain from strenuous physical activity and performances such as dancing and that we should have the surgery as soon as possible."

BoA was scheduled to hold her fifth solo concert to celebrate her 25th debut anniversary at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul on August 30th and 31st. Due to this surgery, BoA had to inevitably cancel the concert.

SM "We deeply apologize for causing concern to fans with this sudden news, and we ask for your generous understanding as this decision was made with the artist's health as the top priority," he said.

SM The decision on whether to hold a concert will be made depending on BoA's recovery after the surgery. The album, which is scheduled to be released in the third quarter separately from the concert, will be released according to schedule.

SM "We will do our best to ensure that BoA can focus on treatment and recovery, with the artist's health and safety as our top priority," the agency emphasized.
