K-pop singer Chungha was rushed to the emergency room early on September 18 after experiencing a sudden health issue, forcing her to cancel her scheduled performance at Kyonggi University’s Seoul Campus festival. Her agency MORE VISION confirmed that the singer was receiving treatment and would be unable to appear at the event. The sudden announcement came just hours before Chungha was expected to take the stage at the university festival. The agency apologised to the organisers and students who had been looking forward to her performance.
Chungha Taken To Emergency Room Early In The Morning
According to MORE VISION, Chungha was taken to the emergency room in the early hours of September 18 due to a health issue and was receiving treatment. The agency did not disclose further details about the condition. As a result, Chungha was unable to perform at Kyonggi University’s “Gwiryeongje Deja Vu” festival, which was scheduled for the same day. The university’s student council also informed attendees about the cancellation and said organisers were working on arrangements for a replacement artist.
Agency Apologises For Chungha’s Sudden Cancellation
MORE VISION expressed regret over the last-minute cancellation and apologised to both the university organisers and students. The agency said it understood the concern and inconvenience caused by the unexpected situation and stated that it would support Chungha’s recovery.
The cancellation also came amid a transition period in Chungha’s career. MORE VISION had previously announced that its exclusive contract with the singer would end on September 21, following three years together. Chungha originally rose to prominence as a member of I.O.I after appearing on Mnet’s Produce 101. Following I.O.I’s activities, she established herself as a solo artist with releases across the K-pop and Korean pop music scene.

Chungha Recovers Ahead Of September 19 Festival
There was a positive update on Chungha’s condition the following day. On September 19, MORE VISION said the singer had recovered sufficiently and would attend the KB Joy Olpark Festival 2026 at Seoul’s Olympic Park as scheduled. The update came only a day after her ER visit and cancelled university appearance.
Chungha’s recovery allowed her to continue with the next performance on her schedule, although the agency did not provide additional details about the health issue or treatment she received. The singer was originally listed for the September 19 festival alongside other performers, with the event taking place at Olympic Park’s 88 Lawn Field in Seoul.
Chungha’s Recent Career Update
The health scare comes at an important point in Chungha’s professional journey. Her contract with MORE VISION is set to conclude on September 21, after which she will move into the next phase of her career. For now, the latest update provides reassurance that Chungha has recovered enough to resume her scheduled activities. Fans who were concerned after her sudden ER visit received the news of her return to the festival lineup just one day later.
Final Take
Chungha’s sudden ER visit led to the cancellation of her Kyonggi University festival performance, but the singer received a positive update within a day. Her agency has confirmed that she recovered sufficiently to continue with her September 19 schedule, while no specific details about her health issue have been disclosed.
