ILLIT's Iroha Sprains Ankle at Encore Rehearsal One Week Before BREAK EVEN

ILLIT's Iroha was diagnosed with an ankle sprain after getting hurt during rehearsal on the 18th, hours before the group's final Incheon encore show. Even so, she performed most of the setlist at Inspire Arena that day, and the injury is reported not to be serious.

BELIFT LAB announced the news in a notice titled "Iroha's Condition and Concert Participation" on Weverse. The agency said Iroha received hospital treatment and that she is strongly determined to join every scheduled stage. Still, it said it would handle her participation flexibly, putting her protection first, and asked fans to understand that her stage involvement may be partly limited if symptoms appear during a show.

A comeback with one member already resting

The news comes as Moka is also on a break from activities for health reasons, so Iroha's injury followed that announcement. ILLIT (Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee and Iroha) held ILLIT LIVE 'PRESS START♥' ENCORE in KOREA at Inspire Arena in Incheon on the 17th and 18th.

The group returns on the 26th at 6 p.m. KST with its fifth mini album, BREAK EVEN. The title is a nod to the financial term for the point where profit meets cost. The title track, "Arrest Me," is about confidently warning someone whose habitual kindness made you misread their feelings, and it was previewed at the encore concerts. ILLIT's world tour, PRESS START, is still running and continues in Japan in December.

The photo fans are talking about

Amid the worry, a full group photo of all five members appeared online, and the reaction on instiz was tender. Fans zeroed in on the way the members hold each other, and on Moka's presence in the shot.
