Sophia Laforteza, a singer in the popular girl group Katseye, is taking a temporary break from the group to focus on her mental health and wellness. The group announced the news in a statement on the social media platform Weverse, saying Laforteza will be temporarily unable to participate in upcoming promotional activities. Laforteza said the decision was not easy but that health has to come first, adding that if she does not take care of her mind and body now, she will not be able to keep doing what she loves. Her hiatus comes six months after her bandmate Manon took a similar break.
