Anxiety Prompts K-pop Itzy’s Lia to Take a Break

Last updated on September 20th, 2023 at 08:50 pm

Lia, a member of the K-pop girl group Itzy, will be going on a break for health reasons to get some much needed rest. The young singer is facing health concerns, owing to extreme tension and anxiety, and has been advised to seek proper treatment. 

JYP Entertainment, K-pop agency, announced Lia would be taking a hiatus. She will not be part of any events until she has fully recovered. It highlighted that Lia’s return will be decided by the singer herself and fellow Itzy members. 

Lia: ‘Losing Myself’

The 23-year-old took to Instagram to share a penned note with fans that she has been gradually losing herself. 

“I feel like I need to take some time off to love and fill myself first. I will work to return to good health in order to repay how much MIDZY (Itzy’s fan base) waits and worries for me. Midzy worries more than anyone else even if I get a little sick, so I was worried that you would be heartbroken and upset when you heard this news. 

“But at the same time, I could work up my courage because I know that you know me better than anyone else will understand, and wait for me.”
