S. Coups, also known as Seungcheol, will not join the upcoming Seventeen “Follow” Tour in the Philippines, Pledis Entertainment announced today, December 12.
The K-pop idol needs to focus on his rehabilitation treatment and recovery following his surgery due to ACL injury.
“S.COUPS sustained a tear in his left anterior cruciate ligament and underwent anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction surgery. He is currently receiving post-surgery care and is focusing on his recovery,” the agency said in a statement.

“It has been almost two months since he underwent this surgery, and he is currently recovering. However, the affected area is still in a vulnerable state. Rehabilitation treatment is crucial at this stage, and he has received medical advice that it would be best to avoid any physically taxing activities for the time being.”
Pledis Entertainment emphasized that S. Coups’ recovery and rehabilitation must be prioritized at this time. With that, he can’t also participate in the group’s promotional activities for their 11th Mini album Seventeenth Heaven.
“Therefore, it will be difficult for S.COUPS to participate in most of his official activities including SEVENTEEN’s promotional activities for their 11th Mini album SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN. Thank you very much for your kind understanding,” it added.
“We will do our very best to support S.COUPS so that he can meet his fans as his healthiest self again.”
Seventeen will hold their concert at the Philippine Arena on January 13 and 14, 2024.
