The popular South Korean girl group ITZY recently welcomed back member Lia, who was absent for 8 months due to psychological reasons. Recently, they have started a concert tour as a four-piece. They will hit Taipei for the first time at 7pm on Saturday (July 20). At the Little Arena, the four members Yeji, Liuzhen, Chaeryeong and Youna flew to Taiwan from Seoul on Friday (6th) to prepare for the concert in advance. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi posted a picture of a suspected millipede found on a hotel carpet on a paid social platform, which caused heated discussions and concerns among fans.
This is the first time ITZY has performed at the Taipei Arena in nine years since their debut. It is also their second time in Taiwan after performing at the Linkou Arena in February 9. They first launched their second world tour in North America in June and made Taipei the first stop of their Asian tour. They will go to Manila on August 2023 and the last stop of Hong Kong on August 2.
Unexpectedly, in the early morning after arriving in Taiwan, Li Zhi suddenly posted a picture of a millipede on the hotel carpet on a paid social platform, and wrote "..." in the accompanying text. He was surprised by the sudden appearance of the creature. Since she did not indicate where the photo was taken, Taiwanese fans were worried that the hotel ITZY members were staying in was not of good quality and that it would leave a bad impression on them.
Discussions were heated online, with fans worried that this episode would affect the artist's mood. In response, Taiwanese media called the organizer, and the organizer quickly responded that "artists will be received with the highest standards" and emphasized that no negligence will occur. It is understood that ITZY stayed at a five-star hotel during this trip. The picture of Malu posted by Yeji did not appear to be on the bed, but on the carpet. This episode did not affect the artist's mood.
