The band’s label, JYP Entertainment, announced the news with a Thursday (March 12) post on X. “Seungmin recently visited the hospital again due to recurring discomfort around his foot area, and after detailed examination, he was diagnosed with a suspected stress fracture in his left ankle,” it reads.
“Although this does not affect him walking or carrying out light daily activities, medical specialists have advised that sufficient rest is necessary for a swift recovery,” the statement continues. “Accordingly, Seungmin will refrain from strenuous physical activities and focus on resting.”
The company noted that Seungmin’s performances at the band’s upcoming “STAY in Our Little House” fan event — taking place March 28-29 and April 4-5 at Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea — would be “limited.”
“We sincerely apologize to STAY who were looking forward to Seungmin’s performance for this sudden news,” the announcement concluded. “We will prioritize our artist’s health and do our utmost to support his recovery and provide the best possible care.”
Beyond “STAY in Our Little House,” Stray Kids’ sixth official “fanmeeting,” listeners are also looking forward to watching the band headline the 2026 Governor’s Ball in New York City alongside Lorde and A$AP Rocky. In September, the group comprised of Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. will headline Rock in Rio.
Stray Kids last dropped music in November, unleashing EP Do It and debuting atop the Billboard 200. It marked the group’s eighth No. 1 on the chart.
