FEARNOTs, take note: Kim Chaewon of LE SSERAFIM will be taking a brief step back from the spotlight this weekend. As the group gears up for their highly anticipated appearance at the 2026 Weverse Con Festival, SOURCE MUSIC has officially confirmed that the leader will not be participating in the event to prioritize her ongoing recovery.

• Health-First Approach: Following professional medical advice, Kim Chaewon is currently undergoing treatment for persistent neck pain. The agency has emphasized that rest is the top priority for her long-term well-being.
• Festival Absence: While the remaining members of LE SSERAFIM are set to proceed with their scheduled performance at the Weverse Con Festival, Chaewon will be absent to ensure she does not strain her recovery process.
• Ongoing Status: This update follows the initial announcement made in May, where the label first notified fans of the idol's need for a temporary hiatus to focus on her health.

While it is always difficult to see a member sit out, the priority remains Kim Chaewon’s full recovery. Fans are flooding social media with supportive messages, wishing the star a smooth and steady return to health. As for the immediate future, the group will continue to fulfill their scheduled commitments, and updates regarding Chaewon’s return to activities will be provided by SOURCE MUSIC as she progresses in her treatment.
