ITZY’s Lia is set to make her comeback after a hiatus of almost 10 months. Last September, JYP Entertainment initially disclosed that Lia would be taking a break from her activities citing health concerns, a period during which she has refrained from participating in group engagements.

The announcement of Lia’s return marks a significant moment for both the artist and her fans, who have eagerly awaited her comeback to the music scene. Throughout her time away, Lia has focused on recuperation and ensuring her health and well-being.

As Lia prepares to resume her activities, expectations are high for what she will bring to the table, with fans expressing excitement and support across social media platforms. Her return not only signals a new chapter for Lia but also underscores the importance of prioritizing health in the demanding world of K-pop.

Details regarding Lia’s upcoming activities and projects following her hiatus are eagerly anticipated by fans, who continue to show unwavering support for the talented ITZY member.

JYP issued the following statement: “Hello. This is JYP Entertainment.

This is an announcement regarding ITZY member Lia’s health status and her return to activities. Following treatment and rest, her tension and symptoms of anxiety have significantly improved.

Therefore, after careful discussion with Lia, it has been decided that she will resume her activities starting with ITZY’s new album, set to be released in the second half of the year. However, for previously arranged schedules and shoots before the new album release, only four members (Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, Yuna) will be participating. We kindly ask for your understanding.

We sincerely thank the fans who have shown warm encouragement and support for Lia’s recovery. We remain committed to supporting our artists so that they can meet fans in healthy conditions.”

Thank you.
