Beloved K-Pop idol Lia, who has been on hiatus since September 2023 due to anxiety, made a surprise appearance at ITZY’s concert in Seoul, sending fans into a frenzy of emotions.
The second day of ITZY’s “Born to Be” concert in Seoul was already a high-energy affair, with the group belting out hit songs like “WANNABE,” “LOCO,” and “Not Shy.” But the crowd’s excitement reached a whole new level when Lia, who has been on hiatus for several months, appeared on stage.
Dressed casually and blending in with the audience, Lia’s presence was captured in numerous photos and videos that quickly went viral on social media. Fans were overjoyed to see their beloved member, and many expressed tears of joy and gratitude for her appearance.
Lia’s hiatus, which was announced in September, was due to struggles with anxiety. She has remained out of the public eye since then, focusing on her well-being and recovery. However, her decision to attend the concert shows her strong connection with her bandmates and her love for performing.
Fans on social media were quick to express their support for Lia, with many emphasizing the importance of prioritizing mental health. They also expressed their hope for her eventual return to the stage, but made it clear that her health and happiness come first.
