Lia said, “I think ITZY (ITZY fan club) was very surprised to hear today’s news. I was worried that they would be heartbroken and upset after hearing this news because they are more worried than anyone else even if I am even a little sick. But at the same time, they know me better than anyone else. “I was able to gain courage because I knew that I would understand and wait for you because I knew and trusted you,” he began.
He continued, “I feel like I’ve been passing a lot of things over and over again. It was such a precious time, but I realized that I was losing myself more and more because I was running.” He added, “I just want to give love and happiness to the people who have always been more grateful to me than anyone else. To do that, right now. “I thought I should take some time to love and fulfill myself first. I will come back in good health,” he said to his fans.
Lia plans to decide when to resume activities in the future after sufficient consultation with the members and agency.
Lia debuted as an ITZY member in 2019.
