According to Manager Ji-Hoon Lee, Violet has been complaining of symptoms of anemia and fatigue lately. Violet went to a hospital to get a physical and was found to have Acute Leukemia

Violet is currently in the emergency room being treated, and will be undergoing chemotherapy shortly after.

Get well and best wishes Violet.

Edit: Sorry, translation error. I didn't realize that there were more than 1 type of acute leukemia. It should be "Acute leukemia", for now.

Get well soon, Violet.

Definitely one of my favorite players, even when he wasn't doing so well.

My thoughts exactly... this is horrible horrible news. I am sending all my best thoughts and wishes in his direction, really hope he gets through this.

I feel like we should somehow organize a big project to send get-well wishes to him, sorta like the Jaedong birthday card a few weeks ago. But, I don't know anyone in Korea who could make this happen. Hopefully it can get done somehow.
