Speaking toVogue Philippines in an interview published on August 24, Guevara-Laforteza said Sophia has been taking part in quieter activities while prioritising her well-being<\/p>\n

\u201cAt present, Sophia is on hiatus,\u201d Guevara-Laforteza said. \u201cShe goes to Disneyland every day; she\u2019s baking, she\u2019s painting. She\u2019s literally doing everything to get mentally well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophia\u2019s break from KATSEYE was announced by HYBE x Geffen on August 7. The label said she would temporarily step away from promotional activities to focus on her mental health and wellness<\/p>\n

According to the company, Sophia had been receiving support and, following consultations with medical professionals, was advised to take an extended period of rest and ongoing care. Her condition is expected to be reassessed in September<\/p>\n

Sophia also addressed her hiatus in a message to fans on Instagram, acknowledging that stepping away was difficult while stressing that \u201chealth has to come first\u201d<\/p>\n

She said caring for her mind and body was necessary if she wanted to continue doing what she loves for years to come<\/p>\n

Guevara-Laforteza also discussed her approach to raising her three children and allowing them to determine their own futures<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized that my children, they need to find their own destiny,\u201d she said<\/p>\n
