JAKARTA - Shotaro will limit his appearances with RIIZE after suffering an injury. SM Entertainment's agency shared this news with fans in the midst of their busy schedule.

"Shotaro recently suffered an injury while performing at a foreign event. After examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with a tear in the ankle ligament," SM Entertainment said on Friday, May 8.

"He is undergoing rehabilitation with a cast and receiving regular check-ups," he said.

As a result, Shotaro did not perform choreography for some of their future activities, including festivals at universities on May 8 and 14 and the Japan KStyle Party on May 10.

"This decision was made after discussing with Shotaro and coordinating with the medical team that daily activities could still be carried out but he had to avoid dancing intensively and prioritize rest," the agency said.

"We ask for the understanding of fans and we will do our best to support the artist's recovery," the agency explained.

Previously, RIIZE was in the spotlight after appearing at an award show and seeing Shotaro stumble. Discussions about the artist's condition began to arise until SM released a statement regarding the condition of their artist.

RIIZE themselves just completed their second concert tour, Riizing Loud in March. Currently, they are performing at various festivals both at home and abroad.
