It was then revealed that the SEVENTEEN leader will be focusing on his recovery and will be wearing a leg brace, and using crutches and a wheelchair. Yet, the update had fans excited when it was announced that the idol hoped to heal so he could participate in the group’s schedules later in the year, including the planned comeback.
S.COUPS will be focusing solely on recovery and rehabilitation for the foreseeable future per recommendation from the medical team. To expedite his recovery, S.COUPS will be wearing a leg brace and use crutches and a wheelchair. Once the surgical site is healed, he will undergo physical therapy so that he can return in full health to his fans. Once the medical team confirms the stable recovery of the surgical area, S.COUPS plans to participate in the second-half schedule with flexibility and within reasonable limits. We ask for your kind understanding.

Fans are hoping that S.Coups can take time to heal and while they would love the leader to be present during group schedules, many hope he takes the time to heel.
