Chungha rushed to emergency room, cancels university festival performance

K-pop singer Chungha was rushed to the emergency room on Friday morning due to a health issue, leading to the cancellation of her scheduled performance at Kyonggi University's festival. The student council of the university's College of Tourism and Culture announced Chungha's absence from the event on its official social media account. The performance, which was set to take place that day, is now unlikely to occur. The council is working with an agency to secure a replacement artist for the show.

Chungha, who debuted in 2016 as part of the girl group I.O.I following her appearance on Mnet's reality show Produce 101, embarked on a solo career after the group disbanded. She recently parted ways with MORE VISION, an entertainment company founded by rapper Kanye West. The student council expressed regret over having to share this unexpected news with students who were eagerly anticipating Chungha's performance.
