SM Entertainment said Wednesday through aespa's fan platform that Winter will not participate in the group's Dallas concert or the accompanying greeting and send-off events.

"Winter recently experienced health issues ahead of the Miami concert, but she took the stage out of her strong desire to perform alongside the other members and continue with the show," the agency said. "However, her condition did not improve sufficiently afterward, so she visited a hospital following the Miami concert for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with shingles."

"Even after the diagnosis, Winter showed a strong determination to participate in the scheduled concert as much as possible and did her best to recover until just before the show while continuing to assess whether she would be able to take the stage," it said.

However, following medical advice that sufficient recovery should be the top priority, Winter and the agency decided after discussions that she would sit out the Dallas concert and take time to rest.

The concert and related events will therefore proceed with the group's three other members — Karina, Giselle and Ningning.

The girl group is currently on its “SYNK : COMPLaeXITY” world tour, which is taking the group to 25 regions.

The announcement comes after SM Entertainment said Monday that it would take strong legal action against malicious online posts targeting Winter.

SM娱乐公司周三通过aespa的粉丝平台表示，Winter将不会参加该组合在达拉斯的演唱会以及相关的欢迎和送别活动。

“Winter在迈阿密演唱会前不久出现了一些健康问题，但她出于与成员们一起表演、继续演出的强烈愿望，坚持登台演出，”经纪公司表示。“然而，演出结束后她的病情并未明显好转，因此在迈阿密演唱会结束后前往医院进行了全面检查，并被诊断出患有带状疱疹。”

声明中说：“即使在确诊之后，温特仍然表现出极大的决心，尽可能地参加原定的演唱会，并尽力恢复，直到演出前夕，同时继续评估自己是否能够登台演出。”

然而，根据医生的建议，充分康复才是首要任务，温特和经纪公司经过讨论后决定，她将缺席达拉斯演唱会，好好休息一段时间。

因此，音乐会及相关活动将由该组合的其他三名成员——卡琳娜、吉赛尔和宁宁——继续进行。

该女子组合目前正在进行“SYNK : COMPLaeXITY”世界巡回演唱会，此次巡演将遍及25个地区。

此前，SM娱乐公司周一表示，将对针对Winter的恶意网络帖子采取强有力的法律行动。
