RIIZE’s Shotaro To Participate In Limited Capacity In Upcoming Activities Due To Injury
SM Entertainment has released a statement regarding RIIZE’s Shotaro’s injury.
On 7 May, SM Entertainment announced that Shotaro will be attending but limiting his participation in upcoming events following an ankle injury and released the following statement:
Hello, this is SM Entertainment.
We would like to inform you regarding RIIZE member Shotaro’s injury and his upcoming scheduled activities.
Shotaro recently injured his ankle during a performance at an overseas event. Following a detailed medical examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with a torn ankle ligament. He is currently recovering while wearing a semi-cast and receiving regular outpatient treatment.
As a result, it has been decided that Shotaro will participate in the scheduled events (the 8 May Incheon National University festival, the 10 May Japan Kstyle Party, and the 14 May Sogang University and Soongsil University festivals), but he will not perform choreography on stage.
This decision was made after discussions with Shotaro and in accordance with medical advice stating that while daily activities are possible, he should refrain from intense dancing and prioritise rest and recovery. We kindly ask for fans’ generous understanding, and we will do our utmost to support the artist’s speedy recovery.
Thank you.
Wishing Shotaro a speedy and full recovery!
