@entertainmenttonight: Another KATSEYE member is on hiatus. HYBE x Geffen announced on Friday that Sophia is "temporarily unable to participate" in the girl group while she prioritizes her "mental health and wellness." "It has been advised that she take dedicated time for extended rest and ongoing care to ensure a full recovery," the label said, noting that they'll reassess her progress in September and provide an update then. For her part, Sophia said, "It truly breaks my heart to have to miss out on a lot... 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 announcement comes after Sophia missed KATSEYE's performance at Hinterland Music Festival last week and the premiere of their movie, 'Wild Hearts,' earlier this week. "She's sick right now but she sends her love," Lara told ET at the time. "She wishes she could be here. She says hi!" Swipe ▶️ to read Sophia's full statement. (📸: KATSEYE, Sophia Laforteza)

Bro they need to take a group hiatus and everyone focus on their health before they return it’s okay to take a break they’ve been at it for a while
