ITZY’s Lia Sparks Mixed Reactions With Concerning Message About Mental Health
ITZY‘s Lia recently opened up to fans in a new message.
She shared how her mind and body feel “disconnected.” While she has many things on her mind, she doesn’t have the physical energy to do them.
Sorry 🥺 Lately, I feel like I’ve really lost my mind / I feel mentally out of it for real.
But since it became the afternoon today, I feel like my mind is slowly coming back together.
Hehe..
It feels like my mind and my body are separate…? In my head it’s like: ‘I have to do this, I have to do that, I should contact MIDZY, I should upload on Instagram, I should clean…’ My head is going crazy with things I need to do, and I’ve written so many things on my to-do list, but my physical energy is completely drained.
— Lia
The message was hit with many reactions: While some used it as a moment to fuel toxic fan wars, others discussed how idols who freely discuss mental health issues are often hit with backlash.
some kpop stans in the quotes making fun of her?? lia opening up about how exhausting it is to be an kpop artist, could literally open so many doors for others to express their feelings. your favs probably feel the same way but can’t speak… https://t.co/H3pda0XEzo

Many pointed out how K-Pop idols are often faced with immense pressure and encourage them to speak out about their mental health.
Some of y'all don't realize how miserably Kpop idols actually live. They can't eat what they want, take a break when they need or live on their own terms. They're treated like puppets and yet some people still mock them for finally speaking out about their health. https://t.co/iPhE91BQbo

I’m glad lia’s speaking up her troubles :( i feel like people are sooooo used to pretending everything is fine and to keep a smile on their face. The fact that Lia has the courage to speak up is very human…i wish people are more open to their struggles AND we as a society
