KATSEYE member Sophia Laforteza is taking a break from the group to focus on her health.

Laforteza addressed her fans directly in her own Instagram story post. “It truly breaks my heart to have to miss out on a lot. You know how much I love being on stage, performing, and sharing these moments with you,” she wrote. “Making this decision wasn’t easy, but I’m learning that health has to come first. I’m realizing that if I don’t take care of my mind and body now, I won’t be able to keep doing what I love the most for so long.”
The 23-year-old thanked her fans for being “patient” and “understanding.” “It means more to me than I could ever say. I promise I’m going to work as hard as I can to get through this, heal properly, and come back stronger,” she wrote.
