ATEEZ’s Hongjoong Misses ‘Music Core’ Appearance for Health Reasons

Hongjoong did not join ATEEZ for the October 31 episode of ‘Music Core.’ KQ Entertainment announced that he would miss the broadcast because of health reasons. The rest of the group appeared on the episode without him, according to the announcement described in the report.

The notice follows another recent absence involving Hongjoong. Earlier in the week, he and fellow ATEEZ member Wooyoung were unable to take part in filming for the variety program ‘Knowing Bros,’ also known as ‘Ask Us Anything.’ Their absence from that filming was likewise attributed to health concerns.

The report does not provide further details about either member’s condition or say when Hongjoong may resume scheduled activities. It also does not give information about any changes to ATEEZ’s plans beyond his absence from the ‘Music Core’ episode. The available update centers on the two missed appearances: Hongjoong’s broadcast with the group and the earlier variety show filming that he and Wooyoung both missed.
