Starship Entertainment has just released a statement about IVE member Rei taking a temporary break from projects due to health reasons.
The 19-year-old Japanese singer has been experiencing heart palpitations and stuffiness, which prompted a visit to the hospital for consultation and checkup. The doctors recommended that she needs rest and treatment to recover. Consequently, Rei will be halting all promotional activities for the time being.
Comeback Promotions’ Exhausting Nature
IVE just made their much-awaited comeback with their first full-length album, “I’ve IVE,” featuring the title track “I Am.”

The nature of comeback promotions is often grueling, involving long hours of practice, late-night travel, multiple music show guestings, interviews, photoshoots, dance challenges, and more. The exhaustive nature of these promotions may all have played a role in Rei’s health deterioration.
Fans Rally Behind Rei with #GetWellSoonRei
IVE’s dedicated fan base, known as DIVE, noticed Rei seemed fatigued during a recent promotional event. Upon learning of her health issues through Starship Entertainment’s announcement, fans took to Twitter to express their support using the hashtag #GetWellSoonRei.
