Choi Si-won, member of K-pop group Super Junior, will not be participating in the promotional activities for its eighth studio album “Play,” his agency Label SJ announced on Tuesday.
The announcement came as Choi and his family are under fire for a recent fatal accident in which a restaurateur died of sepsis on Oct. 6 after being attacked by Choi‘s family pet dog.
Choi’s agency apologized for disappointing many fans who held high expectations for Super Junior‘s comeback. Choi is said to have participated in the recording of the new album and music video shoot.
