On March 13, JYP Entertainment confirmed in an official statement that GOT7's Jackson would take a break to regain his health. Prior to that, on March 11, the group had a fan meeting and everyone noticed the artist's bad health condition.
The statement read, "Jackson's health suddenly worsened while attending GOT7's fan meeting on March 11. We judged that it would be difficult for him to continue with the event, so he had to sit out the last event, which was a hi-touch session. He is currently resting and concentrating on getting his health back to normal."

Earlier this month, the group made its official comeback with the release of their new album titled "Flight Log: Arrival," featuring the title track "Never Ever." Since their comeback, Jackson has not been able to join GOT7 in their performances due to illness.
