KickFlip will promote their upcoming fourth mini album without member Amaru, who is taking time to focus on his health and recovery.

JYP Entertainment announced on March 2 that Amaru will not participate in promotional activities for the group's fourth mini album, set to release on April 6 at 6 p.m. KST. The company stated that Amaru needs to prioritize treatment and rest during his recovery period.

While JYP Entertainment hasn't disclosed specific details about Amaru's health condition, the decision appears to be precautionary, allowing the member adequate time to recover fully before returning to group activities.

This marks KickFlip's first major promotional period without a member since their debut. The group has been building momentum in the K-pop scene, making this health-focused hiatus particularly notable for fans who have been eagerly anticipating their fourth mini album release.

The remaining KickFlip members will continue with the album's promotional schedule as planned. JYP Entertainment typically supports their artists' health decisions, having previously allowed other group members across their roster to take necessary breaks when needed.

Fans have been showing support for both Amaru's recovery and the group's upcoming release. The April 6 album drop will give listeners new music from KickFlip, though promotional appearances and performances will feature the group without Amaru until he's ready to return.

No timeline has been provided for Amaru's return to group activities. JYP Entertainment emphasized that his health and complete recovery remain the top priority, suggesting they'll take a careful approach to his eventual comeback rather than rushing the process.

The fourth mini album represents KickFlip's continued growth as artists, even as they navigate this temporary change in their promotional lineup.
