Stray Kids has just announced a change to their upcoming performances.
On May 24, an official statement from JYP Entertainment was posted, stating that Stray Kids' Felix would be performing a modified version of their tour choreography due to the worsening pain from his back injury. Stray Kids is currently in the middle of their 'dominATE North America' tour. The tour will continue as planned, but with modified choreography.
"Hello, this is JYP Entertainment.
We’d like to give you an update on Stray Kids member Felix.
For some time, Felix has been doing rehabilitation exercises and undergoing treatments for his back. While he has no major issues with daily activities, he has recently been experiencing pain when putting strain on his back. Therefore, he is currently receiving additional treatment.
After having thorough discussion between the artist, medical staff, and JYPE, we would like to inform you that the tour will continue as planned, but certain performance moves may change according to the artist’s condition. Please note that this decision was made following the medical staff's recommendation to minimize strain on the back and the artist's unwavering desire to be on stage, with careful consideration of all 8 members of Stray Kids.
JYPE works with professional medical staffs who manage the health of artists during both domestic and international schedules. Even during the tour, we will prioritize the artist’s health by securing as much treatment time as possible. We will do our utmost to care for the artist and support Felix’s swift recovery. We appreciate your kind understanding in advance.
Thank you."
In February 2022, Felix sustained a back injury during a rehearsal for an upcoming concert. He was diagnosed with intervertebral disk herniation, and has experienced recurring pain in the years since.
