ITZY Concert's Surprise Guest Leaves Lia in Tears

ITZY kicked off their much-anticipated first world tour, CHECKMATE, in the vibrant city of Seoul, delighting fans, family, and fellow K-Pop idols alike. But amidst the glitz and glam, there was one special guest in the audience who took Lia completely by surprise, igniting tears that she simply couldn’t hold back. When it finally was Lia’s moment to grab the mic, the words got stuck somewhere between her heart and those shiny, tear-filled eyes.

As she bravely attempted to speak, the tears just flowed, and she couldn’t help but wipe them away, one delicate swipe at a time. With an adorably vulnerable voice, she managed to say, "Um… So, my mom’s in the audience," before more tears decided to make an appearance. That’s when Yuna, always ready with her comedic timing, chimed in, “No! I don’t want to talk about my mom!” One can only imagine the bemusing expressions that must have sprouted on everyone’s faces, because, of course, there’s a humorous little reason behind Yuna’s insistence.

As the other members rushed in for sympathy and support, Lia shared, "We always end up emotional when we talk about family, that’s why." You can just picture the “aww” moments and the collective nods from those who understand the rollercoaster ride that is family connections! But fear not, because Yuna was quick to turn the tide of tears into laughter, pointing out how frequently their seniors sobbed during their own concerts. “It’s okay to cry, though! Right, MIDZY?” she declared, a beacon of light-hearted support. "I’ve seen other sunbae-nims all cry at their concerts!” It’s like she was gently reminding everyone that crying is just another form of performing art, really.

Meanwhile, the crowd erupted in laughter as they witnessed Lia's raw emotions and Yuna’s quick wit. One fan, who obviously did not grasp one word of Korean, tweeted their amusement, “I don’t understand a word of Korean but I flew 6 hours to see this so somebody better explain why Lia’s crying RIGHT NOW!” Classic! Just another day in the life of K-Pop, where every tear holds a story, and laughter is always a heartbeat away. #ITZY_WORLD_TOUR #CHECKMATEinSeoulD1

And there you have it: the chaos, the tears, the laughter, and the unforgettable moments that makes being a fan feel so wonderfully ridiculous. I guess in the world of K-Pop, there truly is no shortage of emotional roller-coasters and heartwarming camaraderie!
