Good news: NCT's LEIA has been discharged from the hospital!

Earlier this week, SM ENTERTAINMENT announced that LEIA had been rushed to the emergency room after experiencing sudden abdominal pain and a mild sore throat. After she was diagnosed with both acute appendicitis and COVID-19, LEIA underwent surgery on August 12th, and she remained in the hospital for several days afterward to be treated for COVID-19 in conjunction with her postoperative care.

On August 18th, SM Entertainment officially announced that LEIA had been discharged from the hospital after recovering from COVID-19.

The agency's full English statement is as follows:

"Hello.
