ILLIT member Moka will temporarily suspend her activities due to health concerns, Belift Lab announced.
Belift Lab, the agency managing K-pop group ILLIT, released an official statement on June 19, revealing that “Moka has been undergoing treatment and recovery for symptoms of excessive tension and anxiety since the preparation process for their 4th mini-album comeback.”
The agency further elaborated, “Despite the artist’s strong determination to meet her fans, which led her to participate in some music broadcasts during the final week, it was determined that a more stable period of rest is necessary for sufficient recovery. Careful discussions were held with Moka herself and the other ILLIT members.”
“As a result, Moka has decided to halt all her current activities for the time being to focus entirely on her health recovery,” Belift Lab confirmed.
“We are deeply saddened to deliver this news to the fans who have been waiting patiently,” the agency added. “The artist herself also expressed profound regret about not being able to meet her fans.”
Consequently, ILLIT will continue its activities as a four-member group for the foreseeable future. Belift Lab stated, “Our agency will spare no effort in providing all necessary support for Moka’s recovery and stability, so she can regain her health and return to stand before her fans. We kindly ask for your broad understanding and warm encouragement.”
Full statement from Belift Lab:
Hello, this is Belift Lab.
We are providing an update regarding ILLIT member Moka’s future activities.
Moka has been receiving treatment and focusing on recovery due to symptoms of heightened tension and anxiety, which began during the preparations for ILLIT’s 4th mini-album comeback. While she showed strong dedication, even participating in some music broadcasts during the final week to meet fans, a thorough discussion with Moka and the members concluded that a period of stable rest is essential for her full recovery.
Consequently, Moka has made the decision to temporarily suspend all her activities to fully concentrate on restoring her health.
We sincerely regret having to share this news with our devoted fans. Moka herself feels a deep sense of sadness and disappointment at being unable to engage with fans at this time.
ILLIT will proceed with its schedules as a four-member unit during this period. Belift Lab is committed to providing comprehensive support for Moka’s recovery and stability, ensuring she can regain her health and rejoin fans.
We kindly request your generous understanding and continued warm support for Moka.
Updates regarding her return to activities will be provided in due course.
Thank you.
