LOONA recently wrapped up the European leg of the ‘LOONATHEWORLD’ tour this month, after performing at a total of five cities across the continent. However, only eight of LOONA’s 12 members have consistently appeared at all of the group’s European gigs.
Members Haseul and Choerry were announced to be absent from the entire leg of the tour due to a shoulder injury and unspecified health concerns respectively. Meanwhile, bandmate Yves sat out of the Amsterdam show on September 8 due to health concerns of her own.
Since ‘LOONATHEWORLD’ kicked off with its North American leg in August, fans of the K-pop group have been voicing their concerns over the LOONA’s tour schedule after a series of injuries and health concerns resulted in significant absences from the group’s line-up. NME has reached out to MyMusicTaste for comment.
