Top Idol Forced To Do Fancall Even Though She Can’t Speak, Heartbreaking Video Sparks Outrage
A recent viral video featuring NMIXX‘s Lily has sparked widespread outrage among fans and the K-Pop community.
The clip — which shows Lily visibly emotional during a fan call session — has drawn attention to the concerning circumstances surrounding her health.
In the video, Lily is seen holding up notes on white paper to communicate with a fan because she is unable to speak. This heartbreaking moment has led to an outpouring of support and concern for the young idol.

The reason for her silence was revealed when Lily informed fans on August 31 through Bubble, a fan communication platform, that she was on vocal rest. She shared that her voice was in poor condition, adding, “My voice is in very bad condition… I’m sad.”
In true Lily fashion, she also attached a popular meme to her messages: a picture of Charli XCX holding up a sign that read, “I’m on vocal rest.”

The NMIXX star was so ill and unable to use her voice that she couldn’t even sing during the group’s encore win performance on Inkigayo. This only fueled the fans’ concerns further.

Since the performance, Lily and the rest of NMIXX had a fancall event scheduled yesterday, one that Lily went ahead with despite not being able to speak. As a result, a video of Lily looking extremely emotional and tired has gone viral and triggered strong reactions from fans.
Many are expressing anger towards JYP Entertainment for making Lily participate in fancalls despite her evident need for rest. One tweet in particular has even surpassed 52,000 likes — emphasizing the concern surrounding the young star.
