She added that while her thoughts are racing with all of the tasks she wants to complete – updating fans, cleaning, posting on Instagram – her body simply cannot keep up. “My head is going crazy with things I need to do… but my physical energy is completely drained,” she shared, describing a sense of disconnect between her mind and body.

The openness from ITZY Lia hit hard for many fans who have been worried since her hiatus began with anxiety and tension-related symptoms. Though JYP Entertainment has assured fans that Lia is prioritising recovery, her new comments suggest she is still working through deep exhaustion.

The moment Lia’s message went public, ITZY’s fans, known as MIDZY, took to social media with words of encouragement. One fan wrote, “I just hope she knows she’s not alone… Lia, you’re loved beyond words.” Another added, “This isn’t ‘idol talk’ — this is a human being clearly burnt out. She deserves rest, not pressure.”

While some critics ridiculed her comments, ITZY fans were quick to defend her. Many fans pointed out just how brave Lia was for being vulnerable with these feelings, especially in an industry where idols often hide their struggles.
