S.Coups of SEVENTEEN will be withdrawing from the group's "Ready To Love" promotional activities due to injuries he sustained while engaging in an event. The announcement was made on the 1st of July by his label PLEDIS Entertainment.
S.Coups, or Choi Seung Cheol, is a rapper for the K-pop boy band SEVENTEEN. He is also their designated leader and was anointed head of their hip-hop sub-unit, also including Wonwoo, Mingyu, and Vernon from the group.
The 13-member group debuted in 2015 with their EP "17 Carat." As of July 2021, they have been nominated for 176 awards, having won 57 of those. They also received a commendation from the Prime Minister of South Korea in 2020.
What happened to S.Coups?
While promoting the band's eighth mini-album, S.Coups fell and sustained injuries to his right shoulder, as well as additional abrasions and cuts to his right ear, chin, and forehead.
He was treated for these injuries. But after consulting a physician, it was recommended that S.Coups reduce his activities and take time to heal. Consequently, it was announced that S.Coups would temporarily withdraw from any group activities to ensure his full recovery.
Fans reacted with concern to the news, with wishes for his speedy recovery flooding online circles. However, many were worried about the performer's mental state.

Fans were as supportive then as they are now. They immediately popularized hashtags such as "#GetWellSoonSCOUPS" and "#WeLoveYouScoups" to show their backing for their idol.
