ITZY’s Yuna will unfortunately be taking a break from upcoming fan events in China, as JYP Entertainment officially announced that the beloved idol is currently dealing with serious health complications. The news has sent waves of concern through the MIDZY fandom globally.
Yuna Sits Out China Fan Events Due to Health
On July 30 KST, JYP Entertainment published a notice informing fans that Yuna will not take part in the fansign event marking the release of ITZY’s 12th mini album, Motto, which is scheduled to take place in Shenzhen, China, on August 1 and 2. The agency mentioned that the idol had received an inflammation diagnosis after suffering a high fever. Ultimately, she had to be hospitalized to be treated. These highly anticipated fan sign events are a crucial part of album promotions, making Yuna’s absence a significant indicator of the severity of her condition.
Conflicting Updates: Yeji’s Reassurance vs. Eyewitness Alarm
The initial news naturally sparked immense concern among MIDZYs worldwide, prompting fellow ITZY member Yeji to address the situation directly during a live broadcast.

After the news broke, ITZY member Yeji reassured fans about Yuna’s condition during a live broadcast, mentioning that she was being well taken care of and is focusing on her recovery. This offered a brief moment of relief for the fandom, suggesting that Yuna was on the path to recovery.
However, despite Yeji’s comforting words, a troubling account from an alleged eyewitness has reignited anxieties, painting a potentially more severe picture of Yuna’s condition than official statements. The firsthand description suggests a much more critical state than initially conveyed by the agency.
GET WELL SOON YUNA🥲
🐈⬛:Someone just asked me, “I heard yuna isn’t feeling well. Are you doing okay,yeji?”
🐈⬛:All the other members are healthy. yuna sincerely hopes to get better soon to join our fan meeting, so she is taking good care of herself and recovering diligently right… pic.twitter.com/1BF49iVEFZ
However, an eyewitness who allegedly saw Yuna before JYP Entertainment published the notice has left fans worried about Yuna’s condition. According to the witness, the idol appeared extremely weak, to the point that she needed support to stand. This stark contrast between updates has further fueled fan worry.
Renewed Calls for Idol Well-being and Rest
This firsthand observation, coupled with past incidents, has further intensified existing worries within the fandom regarding the group’s demanding schedules and the overall well-being of their artists, a long-standing issue that frequently surfaces in the K-Pop industry.
An eyewitness who reportedly encountered Yuna before JYP’s announcement shared that she appeared physically weak and had difficulty standing without support. The witness also claimed that the person accompanying her briefly went to seek additional assistance.

The post has stirred up fresh concerns about the ITZY members, especially Yuna, being overworked and not given enough time to rest between activities. Fans are vocalizing their displeasure, emphasizing that idols’ health should be prioritized above all else.
The gravity of Yuna’s current state, coupled with previous instances of health concerns within the group, has led to a resounding call from fans for better management of idol health and more reasonable schedules.
Looking back at Yuna’s activities over the past seven months really shows just how demanding her 2026 has been.
From January through July alone, she completed 70+ publicly known schedules while traveling across South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan,… pic.twitter.com/2AytrBY3is

Yuna’s sudden health collapse has fans demanding yet again that the ITZY members be given enough time to recuperate in between schedules, highlighting how the demanding workload has already taken a toll on their well-being multiple times. MIDZYs hope for a swift and complete recovery for Yuna and better protection for all ITZY members.
Itzy members have been through healthy issues, Yeji back injury, Ryujin and Chaeryeong being sick, now Yuna being hospitalized, apparently JYPe don’t remember or don’t even care that they are human beings who need proper rest instead of being overworked

ITZY has been run ragged by BLU:M / Div 2 😭
Every member need proper rest, but Yuna has had way too much of a packed schedule for far too long, going back to last year 😩
I hope Yuna recovers well, she needs an actual break 😔 https://t.co/embWRhv7tw

the schedule is fucked…we knew it and that is why we were mad about TANN promo & MOTTO being so soon. On top-that horrible flight to Mawazine. Pushing her to the edge. Im actually thankful for photoshopped cake because Baskin Robbins knows how to not overwork Yuna https://t.co/YF3CBi3lCu pic.twitter.com/vDLXy8WuCx
