ITZY’s Ryujin Addresses Recent “Controversy” On Instagram
ITZY‘s Ryujin has responded to the recent speculation and concern sparked by her Instagram post with a clarifying statement.

One article in particular also speculated that Ryujin’s post may have included only 4 figures on purpose due to Lia’s hiatus — something that understandably didn’t sit well with fans. And seemingly Ryujin herself.
The author of this article better sleep with one eye open, implying all this from her memes is so??? Just unprofessional and insensitive towards them and especially lia. Ryujin is too kind yet again, I would have straight up sued pic.twitter.com/kmVKeGprAC

Particularly, with member Lia officially announcing her return after a hiatus last year, Ryujin’s photos hinting at the current four active members drew attention.

As a result, the ITZY star addressed the situation through an Instagram story, aiming to clear up all misunderstandings.
I posted the memes because I thought they were funny and I wanted to share with you all, but it seems they’ve caused a misunderstanding about my intentions. I want to make it clear that was not my intention.
The weather has gotten quite hot, so please take care in the heat. I’ll do my best to show you a great performance at the Hong Kong concert.

As ITZY continues their preparations for upcoming performances and faces contract renewal discussions, Ryujin’s clarification has provided a sense of relief and anticipation for their future activities.
