Katseye member Sophia Laforteza announces she will temporarily step back from the group’s upcoming promotional activities to prioritize her mental health and wellness. In a post shared on Weverse, the group states that she will be temporarily unable to participate in forthcoming promotions. The announcement also says the decision follows consultations with medical professionals, and that Laforteza has the group’s “utmost support.”
The outlets report that Laforteza presents the move as a health-related hiatus, emphasizing that she is learning to place her health first. While the statements do not specify a defined end date for the break, they frame it as a temporary pause intended to support her recovery and wellbeing. During this period, Katseye’s promotional schedule will proceed without her participation until further notice.
