LE SSERAFIM’s Kim Chaewon will not be joining the rest of the group at the 2026 Weverse Con Festival this weekend.
Back in May, SOURCE MUSIC announced that Kim Chaewon would be taking a temporary break from activities after undergoing treatment for neck pain and being advised by a doctor to rest for a “certain period” of time.
On June 5, the agency followed up by sharing an update on her recovery and upcoming schedule. According to SOURCE MUSIC, “while her recovery is progressing well, the medical team has determined that additional rest is necessary for a full recovery.”
As a result, Kim Chaewon will not be attending the 2026 Weverse Con Festival with the rest of LE SSERAFIM on June 7.
SOURCE MUSIC added that because Kim Chaewon’s “recovery still requires close monitoring in accordance with medical advice, we are currently unable to provide a timeline for the resumption of her activities.”
The agency’s full English statement is as follows:
