Yoon Do-hyun, frontman of the rock band YB, has postponed his Ulsan concert due to health concerns.
The band’s agency, D Company, announced on the 10th via their official channels that YB’s solo concerts scheduled for February 14 and 15 at the Ulsan Cultural Arts Center have been rescheduled. The performances will now take place on March 28 and 29 at Ulsan KBS Hall.
In their statement, D Company expressed, “We extend our deepest gratitude to the fans who were eagerly anticipating this week’s YB Remastered 3.0 Ulsan concert. We sincerely apologize for disappointing those who have been waiting.”
The agency explained, “Yoon has been battling cold symptoms since last week and has been diligently preparing for the concert while undergoing medical treatment. However, his vocal condition deteriorated significantly after recent weekend performances, prompting doctors to advise focusing on recovery for the time being.”
They added, “After careful deliberation among the artist and production team, we made the difficult decision to postpone this week’s Ulsan concert. This choice was necessary to ensure the overall quality of the tour and Yoon’s well-being.”
Yoon himself addressed fans through his official fan cafe, saying, “I’m deeply saddened by this situation. I’m committed to my treatment and promise to return in top form for the Gwangju concert. I’m currently undergoing new treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and IV infusions daily.”
It’s worth noting that Yoon was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer called Waldenström macroglobulinemia in 2021. He shared the news of his cancer remission in 2023, receiving an outpouring of support from fans.
