ITZY Member Lia Gives MIDZYs an Unexpected Update

Back in September, JYP Entertainment issued a statement confirming that Lia “underwent consultation and examination as she is experiencing extreme tension and anxiety about carrying out her scheduled activities.” The agency stated that the ITZY member “received medical advice that she needs rest and treatment.” They further confirmed that “Lia will not participate in scheduled activities starting today and will take a break for the time being to focus on her treatment.”

Following the announcement of her hiatus, there was a period of silence where fans awaited updates on Lia’s condition. It was widely assumed that Lia was taking the much-needed time to rest and recuperate. However, a recent update from one of her friends has brought immense joy to the ITZY fandom. The update included a photo collage showing Lia enjoying a casual day out with two friends, exuding cheerfulness and embracing life to the fullest.

This heartwarming update has been met with a flood of positivity and support from fans on social media. Lia’s joyful and relaxed appearance in the images stands in contrast to the circumstances that led to her hiatus. Witnessing Lia partake in ordinary moments with friends has provided reassurance and happiness to MIDZYs concerning her well-being during this break.

Fans are now hopeful that Lia is making progress in her recovery and will soon be prepared to reunite with her fellow group members on stage. This recent update has injected a sense of optimism, assuring everyone that the ITZY star is using her break to rejuvenate and return even stronger.
