The excitement at ITZY‘s Born to Be tour concert in Seoul reached unprecedented heights today as fans were treated to not only electrifying performances but also a heartwarming surprise appearance by none other than Lia herself.
The Jamsil Indoor Stadium witnessed a spectacle of emotions as the beloved member — currently on hiatus — made her first public appearance since stepping away from the spotlight.
ITZY’s second day of their concert in Seoul captivated the audience with a powerhouse of hits including chart-toppers like “WANNABE,” “LOCO,” and “Not Shy,” alongside cherished b-sides such as “Gas Me Up,” “Mr. Vampire,” “Psychic Lover,” “Kill Shot,” and “Dynamite.”
However, amidst the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere, it was Lia’s surprise attendance that stole the spotlight and touched the hearts of fans worldwide.
Since her hiatus announcement in September — citing struggles with anxiety — Lia has remained out of the public eye, focusing on her well-being and recovery. Yet, her presence at the concert today showed just how strong the star is and how close the ITZY members are to each other.
Dressed casually and blending seamlessly with the crowd, Lia’s appearance was captured in numerous snapshots circulating across social media platforms. The images showed Lia immersed in the sea of fans showing unwavering support for her bandmates and reinforcing the unbreakable bond shared within the ITZY family.
The emotional response from fans on social media was overwhelming, with many expressing tears of joy and gratitude for Lia’s appearance. They eagerly anticipate her eventual return to the stage and wish her nothing but the best during her hiatus, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing mental health and well-being above all else.
