With group NCT WISH member Riku suspended, the team will work as a quintet for the time being.
SM Entertainment said on the 22nd, "Riku recently visited the hospital due to poor condition, and as a result of the examination, he received the opinion of medical staff that he needed sufficient stability and rest. After careful discussion with Riku, we decided to focus on treatment and recovery."
With Riku excluded from the schedule from this day, NCT Wish will have only five members on the stage of its upcoming Asian tour in Japan scheduled for November 3.
The agency said, "We apologize for causing concern, and we will do our best to help Riku be with the fans in good health."
NCT Wish is NCT's last team, which debuted in February. Riku is a Japanese member born in 2003.
