ALPHADRIVEONE's Sanghyeon to pause activities for vocal cord polyp surgery

ALPHADRIVEONE’s Sanghyeon will pause his activities to undergo surgery for a vocal cord polyp. According to the group’s agency WakeOne on August 4, the member had experienced ongoing throat discomfort, and medical examinations confirmed the need for the procedure.

The surgery is scheduled for August 5. Doctors have advised Sanghyeon to rest his voice for about three weeks afterward, avoiding any vocal strain during recovery. He will be absent from all official schedules from August 5 through August 22.

The break overlaps with promotions for ALPHADRIVEONE’s second mini-album 'UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST,' set for release on August 24. WakeOne said the member’s health is its top priority and that it would monitor his recovery closely.

After sufficient rest and medical clearance, Sanghyeon will gradually resume vocal activities under careful management. The agency asked fans to follow official channels for any updates on his schedule.

ALPHADRIVEONE debuted in January 2026 through Mnet’s audition program 'Boys II Planet.' The group is preparing for their comeback later this month.
