It has been reported that in April, Wooyoung from ATEEZ was diagnosed with cholinergic urticaria (heat hives) while practicing and performing. He broke out into hives again recently while practicing and performing.&nbsp;We all have seen a K-Pop live performance. We know how physically exhausting it looks. Now imagine doing that, but with heat hives: blisters or red lumps and an itchy, prickly rash. Yeah, not fun. No wonder it was announced that Wooyoung will be unable to perform at the “Festival Mawazine” in Morocco. Thankfully, KQ Entertainment was aware of the situation and made the correct decision by not having Wooyoung perform. It is for his safety and well being.Wooyoung will receive more treatment to help with the situation. We are hoping for a full recovery and can’t wait to see him perform later on!&nbsp;Below is the official statement from KQ Entertainment:"Hello, this is KQ Entertainment.We would like to notify you that member Wooyoung will not be able to attend 'Festival Mawazine' in Morocco, where ATEEZ is scheduled to perform on June 23.&nbsp;Earlier in April, while preparing for ATEEZ's “Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival” performance, Wooyoung experienced an unspecified allergic reaction for the first time. During practices and performances, he broke out in hives, and so to receive an accurate diagnosis, he underwent three medical expert visits and was finally diagnosed with cholinergic urticaria, or heat hives.Afterward, similar symptoms resurfaced frequently when Wooyoung was exposed to strong sunlight while performing rigorous choreography, and throughout ATEEZ's ongoing album promotions and practices for the upcoming festival, minor symptoms persisted. As a result, Wooyoung has been limiting strenuous exercise and rigorous choreography practice to focus on treatment and recovery.&nbsp;Considering the health of our artist as our topmost priority, we have decided that ATEEZ's performance at “Festival Mawazine” will take place with 7-members, excluding Wooyoung. During that time, Wooyoung will receive focused treatment, so that he can resume his schedules so long as they do not require overexertion and he can continue to receive treatment.&nbsp;We apologize to the fans who must have been surprised by the sudden news, and we ask for your understanding, as the decision was reached after much consideration for the artist's health."https://open.spotify.com/track/3VHD84tIdyxRTtRc167YSR?si=7564865953a34650&nbsp;
