EXID member Hani will take a short break from making television appearances, her agency said Saturday.

Hani, 23, will take a month’s leave from all broadcasting activities to focus on treating her enteritis, an inflammation of the intestine. This also means she will step down as host of SBS’s cooking show “Baek Jong-won’s Three Great Emperors.”

“Hani has worked without rest since EXID shot to stardom in 2014,” her agency said in a statement. “She has decided to take some time off work to regain her health.”

Hani is among many Korean celebrities who are taking a break from TV for health reasons.

In November, comedian Jung Hyung-don, a member of MBC’s “Infinite Challenge,” announced he would leave temporarily to treat his anxiety disorder. Emcee Jeon Hyun-moo also took two days’ leave from his radio show when his voice began to crack.

Earlier this month, emcee Kim Seong-ju said he would be taking a month off to focus on regaining his health. He will return on March 5.
