KickFlip Trims Promo Week After Kyehoon and Donghwa Visit Hospital

KickFlip members Kyehoon and Donghwa will skip part of the group's comeback promotions on their doctors' advice, their agency said Tuesday.

JYP Entertainment announced on October 13 that both members went to the hospital earlier in the day "due to fever and body aches," Soompi reports. Because they were "advised to get sufficient rest," the pair will appear at only a limited number of this week's scheduled activities.

The clearest casualty is radio. KickFlip's taping for SBS Power FM's "Wendy's Young Street," set for October 13, has been canceled outright.

A second radio stop survives with a smaller lineup. The group's appearance on MBC FM4U's "ZEROBASEONE's Close Friend" will go ahead with the four remaining members.

The music show schedule holds. Kyehoon and Donghwa will take part in KickFlip's pre-recording and live performance for MBC M's "Show Champion" on October 14, and in the pre-recording for Mnet's "M Countdown" on October 15.

One hosting duty comes off the board: Kyehoon will not appear as an MC on this week's episode of "M Countdown."

The agency framed the trimmed itinerary as a medical call.

"This decision was made with the artist's health as the top priority, and we kindly ask for your understanding. We will inform you of any changes regarding the schedule thereafter," JYP Entertainment said.

Next up for the group is the "Show Champion" stage on October 14, with the "M Countdown" pre-recording the following day.
