Sophia Laforteza shared in a statement on social media that she will be taking a hiatus to focus on her mental health. “Making this decision wasn’t easy, but I’m learning that health has to come first. 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,” she shared.
The group’s management, HYBE, also spoke out on the 23-year-old singer’s behalf. “While Sophia herself is eager to perform alongside her members, the health, safety, and long-term well-being of our artists will always remain our highest priority,” the statement continued. “We will continue to closely monitor her progress and support her journey. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support for Sophia, and we look forward to her being back with Katseye.”
