However, fans noticed Taeyong coughing and feeling unwell as he arrived at the recording.

태용이 너무 아파보여서 바이러스 새끼 내가 다 먹어버리고 싶었음 새벽에 응급실도 다녀오고 좋은 모습 못 보여줘서 미안하다는데 녹화 때마다 아픈 사람 맞나 싶을 정도로 무대를 ㄹㅇ 찢으심 대기 때는 서있는 것도 힘들어 보였는데요.. 너완전프로야

Taeyong looked so sick, I wanted to eat up that virus. He even went to the ER in the early morning. He kept saying he was sorry he couldn’t present a good image, but as soon as he got on stage, he performed so well that it made me wonder if he really was that sick person. He seemed to be having a hard time while waiting… he is such a pro.

However, his condition seemed to have worsened after the recording as a notice was posted regarding his absence for one of the performances for the next day’s pre-recording.

Due to Taeyong’s health, we will cancel the ‘Pinata’ pre-recording on August 30. However, due to his strong will and discussions with the group, they will proceed with the pre-recording for ‘Blingy’ as scheduled. However, Taeyong will not attend the live broadcast.

Fans who attended the pre-recording praised Taeyong’s professional mindset.

Taeyong saw many of the older Neobongs in the crowd and thanked everyone for supporting them over the years. Although he was in bad condition, he performed so well that I almost forgot he was sick. I wish he would stop saying sorry. Taeyong, you really are the best idol…

Most recently, he sent messages to fans thanking them for their concern and support.

“I am finally opening my eyes now. I have no memories of the past three days. I am finally feeling better, thanks to Czennies. I will be going to the hospital soon, but it will probably be my last time. Thank you for worrying about me, and I’m sorry for causing concern. I already want to be back on stage. You were really worried, right? I will be back on stage in even better condition, so look forward to it! Up until yesterday, I was sweating so much, but I’ve gotten so much better in just one day. It’s all because of your support.

Have a good day, and don’t worry anymore! Why is my heart for the stage the same as it was in my teens and twenties? I should know how to balance myself now this many years into this career, but whenever I stand in front of you guys, I want to use all my energy. I guess, for me, having know-how has no meaning.”

— Taeyong

Czennies were supporting me so. hard, and I was just lying in bed…I will get up soon and show you. It’s either all or nothing for me. I can rest when I am dead. I am going to work myself hard until our members and staff are satisfied, and then rest.

— Taeyong

However, fans were concerned the most about his health and wished he would take all the rest he needed.

Bubble has word limitations so I hope you will check on Twitter. Taeyong there is nothing like “I will rest when I’m d*ad” that is bullshit. Please don’t push yourself exceeding the limit for others. You need to take care of your body yourself baby 😭#태용버블 #소툥소툥
