Super Junior’s Donghae Completes ‘ALIVE’ Tour Seated, Pens Heartfelt Apology in Cantonese

Super Junior’s Donghae has issued a handwritten apology to fans after having to leave the stage due to severe back pain during an overseas performance.

On May 28th (local time), during the second night of his solo concert ‘ALIVE’ in Hong Kong, Donghae experienced intense back pain. With the help of staff, he left the stage to rest, but returned to complete the remainder of the show while seated.

Following the concert, Donghae took to social media to post a lengthy handwritten letter in Cantonese.

In the heartfelt message, he wrote, \”First and foremost, I want to express my sincerest apologies to all of you. I promised to create a joyful and memorable experience at the start of the show, but I failed to keep that promise. I’m truly sorry.\”

The K-pop star continued, \”I believe this injury is ultimately the result of my failure to properly care for myself. I’m deeply upset and heartbroken about this situation.\” Donghae assured fans that he would seek immediate medical treatment and focus on recovery upon his return to Korea.

This tour marks a significant milestone for Donghae, as it’s his first solo venture since his debut. Following the release of his debut solo album ‘ALIVE’, he embarked on a seven-city Asian tour, kicking off in Seoul this May. The tour includes stops in Taipei, Hong Kong, Osaka, Tokyo, Kaohsiung, and Macau.
