Agency Statement in December 2019 In December 2019, JYP Entertainment released a statement that Han was experiencing intermittent psychological anxiety. This anxiety showed up especially in situations with large crowds or close proximity to many people. allkpop.Because of this, he left a fan sign event early, as continuing there was increasingly difficult for him. .The agency said that although the anxiety was serious enough to require rest and treatment, it did not interrupt his stage performances or broadcasts at the time.Han took a break from some of his scheduled activities in late 2019 to focus on his mental health. The statement said that rest and medical treatment would proceed until his condition improved.From what the statements mention and what fans observe, it seems that fan meetings (with many people close by), crowded spaces, and prolonged stressful interactions are more triggering.

Anxiety vs. social anxiety: It’s often described as “psychological anxiety” sometimes specifically social anxiety or anxiety around crowds, but there is no definitive public medical diagnosis released that says exactly “social anxiety disorder,” etc., at least from sources I’ve found.

Recovery / current state: There is less public information about exactly how he is now, how often he experiences anxiety, or how he manages it day-to-day. Fans and media assume he has been improving, since the agency said he was “actively working with treatment” and that his team prioritizes his health.

Long day, busy schedule. Han didn't have a minute to breathe today. He got up at 5, did gym until 11 and the they had dance practice from 12, and now they were finished with dance practice and we're heading to the studio.

Luckily, Felix, Changbin, I.N and Seungmin had recording before him, so he could rest his eyes a bit before he had to record anything. It wasn't unusual to him to sleep while the others were recording as he has done it multiple times, even though it still worried Chan.

The boys finished with their recordings and it was Han' s turn,finally.Chan turned in his chair and rubbed Han's shoulder in an attempt to wake him up. Han's eyes opened and he slowly got up before walking into the booth.

They were doing a 2025 version of their song 'Cover me'. He's been stressed about hitting that high note both then and now and it doesn't help that his legs were aching from all the physical activity he did today. Even if, they started recording. His first attempts weren't the best. And then it only went downhill. His voice cracked at some point, his tone was too low, then too high, note too long of too short.

He started sweating. He couldn't believe he was getting anxious over this. But he's been in the booth for longer than half an hour. He grabbed a tissue to wipe at his forehead. When Chan saw him, he thought he was crying.

Chan "Are you okay?" Han "Huh? Oh, yeah yeah, just sweaty, y'know."

At his next attempts, his legs started shaking. Chan didn't seem satisfied with these versions either so he sat down while they listened to them
