Jiho, a member of K-pop group Oh My Girl, is taking a break due to health problems, according to the group’s agency, WM Entertainment.
The agency said the singer, whose real name is Kim Ji-ho, had been suffering health issues, including symptoms of an anxiety disorder, and had been receiving treatment since last year.
“Recently, her condition worsened, so the agency has decided that it’s best for the artist to take a break from the group’s activities,” the agency said. “We will do our best to make the hiatus brief and help her with the recovery.”
Oh My Girl – Hyojung, Mimi, YooA, Seunghee, Binnie and Arin – made their debut― in 2015 with the mini album Oh My Girl. Original member JinE left the group in 2017 after taking a year break due to health issues.
