ITZY’s Lia Makes First Official Appearance Since Her Hiatus With A Dramatic Transformation
ITZY‘s Lia has made her first official appearance since her ten-month hiatus, and she has undergone a dramatic transformation.
In September 2023, JYP Entertainment announced that Lia would be taking a break from her activities to address health concerns.
While MIDZYs missed Lia, she made an appearance at the group’s concert, and the members always made sure to mention her. Of course, after so long, when Lia’s name appeared on the post ahead of the group’s anniversary broadcast, they couldn’t hide their excitement at seeing Lia officially again.
