[Notice] Regarding Partial Absence from aespa's Ningning at '2025 Melon Music Awards' Schedule

Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

We would like to inform you that our artist aespa's Ningning will not be attending the MMA red carpet today (the 20th).

Ningning has been unable to attend today's red carpet event due to declining health caused by a cold.

However, due to the artist's strong commitment to performing, she will focus on maintaining her physical and mental health, excluding the red carpet schedule, and will attend the main stage and some other events as scheduled to meet fans.

This decision was made after considering both the artist's health and the quality of the performance, so we ask for your generous understanding.

Thank you.
