Twice’s Mina will not join world tour

Mina, a member of the girl group Twice, will not be taking part in the group’s world tour, JYP Entertainment said on Thursday.

According to the agency, Mina is going through “severe anxiety issues and psychological tension from being on stage,” and is undergoing professional treatment.

She has not been diagnosed yet, but the agency is in the process of figuring out what she needs through consultations with various hospitals.

“We have decided, after thorough communication with Mina herself and the other members, that it is of utmost importance that she takes rest and professional care,” the agency said.

“She will thus not be taking part in the upcoming world tour. The health and well-being of our artists is our primary priority, and we will be doing the best we can to make sure that she is treated properly.”
