Minami of girl group RESCENE has pulled out of scheduled appearances due to a sudden decline in health.

The group's agency, The Muse Entertainment, announced Sunday on its official X account that Minami would not be able to attend the day's schedule after showing sudden symptoms of poor health. "We sincerely ask for your generous understanding for the unexpected news and any concern it may have caused our fans," the agency said.

The agency added that it would "do its best to support Minami so Minami can meet fans again in good health," and asked fans for their "warm encouragement and support."

RESCENE has enjoyed strong popularity this year, earning the reputation of a dominant girl group and being hailed as a "miracle from a small agency." At the 2026 Melon Music Awards held Saturday, the group took home three trophies — Global Top 10, Kakao Bank Star for All, and Hot Trend.

RESCENE debuted in 2024 and built wide public recognition through the belated chart success of "LOVE ATTACK." Their fourth mini album "PULSE," released Nov. 3, broke their own record by surpassing 600,000 copies in first-week sales. The title track "With" also performed strongly on music charts and claimed two music broadcast wins, further cementing the group's upward momentum. The group is also set to hold its first-ever solo concert at Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park from Feb. 19 to Feb. 21 next year.

The packed schedule, however, has taken a physical toll on the members.

Minami recently addressed criticism over unstable live performances on the fan communication platform Bubble, saying that while the members try not to show it in front of fans, "we sleep at most one hour almost every single day, and after filming wraps we don't rest — we go straight to more shoots and CPX." She added, "We'll work even harder going forward, so please look on us kindly."

Minami also drew attention online in September, when a photo of Minami dozing off at a group dinner spread across online communities.
