Fans grew worried after noticing ILLIT's Moka appearing to cry during the group's Inkigayo stage for "It's Me" on May 31. The member's teary eyes were visible throughout the performance, prompting immediate discussion across social media as viewers expressed concern for her wellbeing.

The moment drew even more attention when the performance video disappeared from Inkigayo's official YouTube channel shortly after airing. While some fans theorized Moka was simply emotional performing after her recent health hiatus, others suspected she was pushing through while unwell.

Moka had recently returned from health-related absence to rejoin ILLIT for the "It's Me" promotion cycle. Her comeback after time away made the emotional performance resonate deeply with supporters, who rallied to show their backing.

Bandmate Yunah offered some insight into Moka's state during a recent interview, speaking about the member's determination and condition. "The promotion period was quite long, but I feel a little sad that it's ending," Yunah shared. "I guess it's because Moka was only able to join us for a week." She also expressed hope that Moka would be proud of managing her performances so well despite the circumstances.

Yunah's comments suggested Moka's participation in the "It's Me" promotions was limited, making her decision to perform through apparent difficulty even more striking to observers. Fans quickly mobilized in support, emphasizing that Moka's presence remains essential to the group and urging others not to speculate negatively about her condition.

The deleted Inkigayo performance and the surrounding circumstances have left many fans concerned about Moka's health status moving forward. However, the outpouring of love from the fanbase demonstrates the strong connection between ILLIT and their supporters, who continue wishing the member a full recovery and better days ahead.
