The injury was quickly connected to the group’s choreography for “Celebration,” where a head banging move is performed.

The injury was not sudden, as Chaewon mentioned neck pain before her announced break. A viral performance, during which the group displayed new choreography for the track, showed Chaewon holding her neck in pain.

Now, a previous clip has resurfaced following the announcement.

During a live stream in early May, Chaewon mentioned that her neck hurt, and was given a “shushing” motion by Sakura. Afterwards, Chaewon says her neck doesn’t hurt, and the members all react.

Initially there were thoughts that it may have been some sort of spoiler, but with the recent news, some believe the group were instructed not to talk about being in pain. While some have attempted to turn the criticism on Sakura, many have criticized the company for seemingly trying to prevent Chaewon from showing signs of her pain.
