Recently, it was reported that EXID leader Solji was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism leaving the group to continue and perform as four members for a while until she regains her health. Although it's painful and sad, Solji had to leave the group but left an optimistic message for her dear fans.
The letter says, "Hey everyone!! You're all worried right? I'm going to take medication and recover quickly so don't worry. I'm sorry I scared you all ㅠㅠ and I'm sad I won't be on the end of the year stages. Cheer for the members on stage !! I'll come back all healthy quickly. I'm sorry for worrying you thank you and I love you!! Fighting!!!"
ASZ has reported that Banana Culture Entertainment announced Solji's situation and preferred her to rest for an indefinite time to regain her health. The entertainment company said that she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. She is being tormented by several symptoms which include fever and bulging of the eyes. The company promised that they will support Solji until she gets well again.
Due to her health problems, Solji will have to take a break from singing and dancing which could aggravate more of her current condition. The disease is caused by the over production of thyroid hormone showing symptoms of weight loss, fatigue, palpitations, and sleeplessness.
The management company had a long discussion with Solji and agreed upon that her health and happiness should be prioritized the most.
In lieu with the situation, the other four members that were left, LE, Hani, Hyelin and Junghwa will be present in the year-end award ceremonies but not with the group leader, according to Yonhap News.
Solji was born Heo Sol-ji and is a Korean singer. In 2006, she was introduced in a ballad group, 2NB and worked as a vocal trainer before she became an EXID member and eventually became the group's leader.
