Girl group aespa member Winter has been diagnosed with shingles during her U.S. tour and will be unable to attend the scheduled performance in Dallas.

On the 29th, management company SM Entertainment stated, "Winter experienced symptoms of poor physical condition before the recent Miami show (held on the 26th), but she took the stage with the determination to perform alongside her members. However, as her condition did not sufficiently improve afterward, she visited a hospital following the Miami performance for detailed examinations and was diagnosed with shingles." The company added, "Even after the diagnosis, Winter showed strong will to participate in the scheduled shows as much as possible and made every effort to recover until just before the performance. However, following medical staff recommendations that prioritize the artist's health and sufficient recovery, the management company and the artist carefully discussed and decided that she would unavoidably miss this Dallas show (on the 29th) to rest."

Accordingly, the main concert and fan meeting-style events 'Hi-Bye' and 'Send-Off,' scheduled for 8 p.m. (local time) at the Texas American Airlines Center on that day, will proceed with three members: Karina, Giselle, and Ningning.

Winter's absence has drawn attention as it came immediately after SM Entertainment announced a firm response to malicious posts targeting her.

Previously, on the 28th, SM Entertainment stated via its official social media, "We solemnly warn that we will take strong legal action against malicious posts continuously being distributed targeting Winter."

The company further explained, "Illegal posts and content, including the spread of false information, defamation, insults, malicious slander and personal attacks, and sexual harassment regarding the artist (Winter), are being continuously posted on various platforms. Accordingly, after careful review by a law firm, we plan to proceed with legal procedures, such as filing complaints, in stages."

The management company added, "In addition to the mentioned platforms, we will respond without exception to illegal acts carried out on anonymous bulletin boards or social media. Regardless of domestic or international locations, we will secure materials necessary for identifying the creation and distribution channels of the posts and the perpetrators, and request investigations from competent law enforcement authorities. We will hold identified perpetrators strongly accountable under a zero-tolerance policy, without any leniency or settlement."
