Starship Entertainment has released a statement about Monsta X singer Hyungwon’s health after he missed an interview on Good Morning Britain today.
Monsta X’s label explained that Hyungwon is suffering from ‘body ache symptoms’ and has been advised by his doctor to rest.
As a result he won’t be taking part in any of Monsta X’s interviews in the UK on Thursday.
Starship, the group’s label said: ‘Hyungwon is having a sudden body ache symptoms from this morning, thus he will not be able to attend Good Morning Britain and the rest of promotions scheduled for today (Jul 11th).
‘According to his doctor’s suggestion, we have decided to prioritise the health of our artist first. Thus we will provide the best medical treatment to help Hyungwon to recover from his illness as soon as possible.
‘We sincerely apologise for this sudden change of event, for we do know our fans’ will be deeply concerned about Hyungwon’s health.
‘We would like to have the fans’ kindest support so he can get better soon.’

Asked where Hyungwon was on the show, rapper I.M said he was ‘a bit sick’.
In their interview the Alligator singers were given some British food to try, including scotch eggs and Marmite.
The spread seemed to go down well with everyone except rapper Joohoney, who absolutely hated it and asked for a glass of water.
However, they enjoyed the scotch eggs and black pudding, with Ben explaining that it was made from blood.
The members were also asked about their world tour, which hit London’s Wembley Arena on Tuesday.
Referring to their previous London show, Wonho said: ‘This time was even better, more Monbebe.’
Minhyuk added: ‘This time it was beyond our expectation. We loved it. Really good.’
Monsta X will move on to Berlin for the last stop on the Europe leg of their tour, before flying out to the US.
Earlier in the show they tried to show Peter Andre how to do their now-viral vibrating Shoot Out dance.
