Taeil will not be joining NCT 127's 'NEO CITY: THE UNITY' tour in South Korea next month as he continues to recover from a motorcycle accident.

SM Entertainment made the announcement through Weverse on Wednesday, updating fans about Taeil's successful surgery and treatment.

A post shared by instagram

"Taeil, who was injured in a car accident last August, underwent successful surgery and is recovering by focusing on treatment with the will to meet his fans as soon as possible," the notice explained.

"We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the fans who are concerned about Taeil's health, and we will do our best to ensure that Taeil can meet his fans again in good health."

On Aug. 15, the singer was involved in a vehicle accident that fractured his right thigh. He has since been on a hiatus, skipping previous NCT 127 performances as he focused on getting better.

"NEO CITY: THE UNITY," which will kick off at the KSPO Dome in Seoul Olympic Park, will be the group's third tour following the successful "NEO CITY: THE LINK" world tour that spanned 17 cities.
