ITZY’s Lia will be resuming her activities after nearly 10 months of hiatus!
In September of last year, JYP Entertainment first announced that Lia would be taking a break from activities due to health reasons, and she has remained on hiatus since then.
On July 8, her agency shared 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.
On July 8, just a few hours before the official statement was released, ITZY held a live broadcast for their fan club’s fifth anniversary, where the entire group, including Lia, participated.
Happy to have you back, Lia!
