Ever the warmhearted angel, DK encouraged Mingyu, wishing him “to recover quickly and to gain strength.”
“Members, I’m sorry…” | Weverse
Mingyu felt so bad that he apologized to the members too. Despite his bad health, it seems like Mingyu’s priority is on the fans and members. Having worked hard for the comeback, the news must be disappointing to Mingyu himself, but health is wealth as they say! Wishing Mingyu a speed recovery.
