[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Singer Kim Pil has canceled his scheduled activities due to surgery for acute appendicitis.

Kim Pil's agency Archive Achim stated on the 6th, "Kim Pil was taken to the emergency room after complaining of abdominal pain and underwent surgery for acute appendicitis. The surgery was successful, but according to medical experts, he requires hospitalization and rest. He will inevitably be unable to participate in this week's scheduled activities."

Kim Pil debuted in 2011 with "Babo Gati Tto Ureoyo" and gained attention as the runner-up on Mnet's "Superstar K Season 6" in 2014. With his lyrical and resonant voice, he has contributed to original soundtracks (OSTs) for dramas such as "Reply 1988," "When the Camellia Blooms," and "Itaewon Class."
