Relationship Status: Does Lia Has A Boyfriend?

Choi Jisu is currently single and has no plans to get into a relationship anytime soon. She is still young and getting into a relationship is the least of her worry at the moment. For now, Lia is fully focused on her singing career.

The ITZY vocalist, Lia is very private about her love life. Hence, the records of her previous relationships (if any) are also missing. Since she doesn't have a personal account on Instagram, it makes it even hard to learn about her life. 

Net Worth of ITZY's Lia

Choi Jisu (or, Lia) has found success through her vocals as her net worth has been estimated to be $2 Million. Singing has been her main source of income and her group ITZY can be credited to her monetary success. 

ITZY despite only coming to the limelight in 2019 has found a lot of success in such a short time. Their song WANNABE is the most streamed song on Spotify, with over 280 Million streams. The song is also their most viewed song on YouTube with over 106 Million views helping them to make a lot of money.

Stole Parent's Credit Card To Learn Singing

Lia used her parent's credit card to develop her singing skills as a kid. She learned how to sing at a vocal academy without telling her mom and dad about it and even used their credit card to pay for her classes.

Korea Boo has mentioned in their article that this was brought up by Lia in one of her videos on her group's YouTube channel ITZY. The article also mentions that her parents weren't mad at her for stealing the credit card rather they supported her dream. 

It's safe to say Choi Jisu wanted this as she was taking a 2-hour bus from Incheon to Gangnam for her classes.

Has A Younger Brother

LOCO singer Lia isn't the only child in her family as she has a younger brother as well. His name is Junsu. He is around four years younger than her famous sister.

Sister's fame doesn't seem to have any effect on Junsu as he lives a quiet life. Even, Lia herself hasn't revealed much about her brother and the rest of her family. One thing that is known, however, is that she grew up in a well-off family. 

Choi Jisu's Controversial Statement On Chaeryeong

Lia found herself in hot water after she said about her ITZY groupmate Chaeryeong. She was accused of being a colorist after she commented on her friend's skin.

Lia came up with an apology later where she said that she wasn't intending to hurt the sentiment of anyone. But the apology wasn't enough to change some people's opinions about her. People who were upset by her comments labeled her as a colorist and are mad at her to this day.
