Lee Chaeyeon Reveals Agonizing MRI Scan—Says She Won’t Be Dancing For A While

Former IZ*ONE member turned soloist Lee Chaeyeon will be going on a “dance hiatus,” so it seems.

In a series of Instagram updates, the soloist revealed the state of her herniated discs…

Let’s stay together, friends… Please be good.

— Chaeyeon

…and commented that she won’t be pushing herself to dance for a while.

It’s a wonder how they didn’t herniate before. They put in some work.

— Chaeyeon

No more warming up like this. Although… That does feel really good.

While Chaeyeon promised to get right back to it “in the new year…”

Closed… as in I won’t be dancing for a while, or whatever. I’ll be back on track by next year!

— Chaeyeon

…fans remain concerned for her, given her set schedule with SBS‘s Shooting Stars (also known as Kick A Goal)—a show in which the soloist plays soccer, and are wishing her a restful time.

• “Take care, Chaeyeon, I love watching you dance… Wishing you a full recovery so you can keep on dancing!”
• “My favorite idols all have herniated discs, too… So I feel for her. It must be so painful.”
• “Oh, no… Take care of yourself!”
• “Gosh, that looks painful as heck.”
• “Herniated discs and dancers go together hand-in-hand. That must be so painful.”
