The group ITZY has announced a charismatic comeback.
On the afternoon of the 9th, a press conference was held at Sofitel Ambassador Seoul in Songpa-gu, Seoul to commemorate the release of ITZY's new mini-album 'Girls Will Be Girls'. ITZY's comeback is the first time in more than eight months since the mini-album 'Gold' released in October last year.
'Girls Will Be Girls' is an album about the confident friendship of the five members under the keyword 'Solidarity'.
Yeji pondered what new looks and messages she could show as she marked the 6th anniversary. I've been sending the message 'Love My Self' since my debut, and this time I thought it would be nice to be able to convey the echo of the name 'We'. I thought I would be able to show my solid teamwork. I thought the fans would like it when they see the strong connection", he explained.
Then "We made a comeback right after the solo album. While doing solo activities, I realized that the group was precious. As time goes by, the meaning of the members seems to become stronger. You can lean on and depend on it. He expressed his affection by saying, `It's someone else's team and my side.'
Yuna "is the thing that I rely on the most when I'm having a hard time. "The driving force to run together in one mind", Ryu Jin said. "As we enter our 7th year and have many juniors, we often realize that we need to grow up, but the members are a comfortable resting place that allows us to return to our childhood when we are together. Looking at the seniors who have been active for a long time with good teamwork, we are always determined to become singers that last long without losing our initial commitment", he confessed.
Lia says "There is also an image of resistance. Makeup also tried to make it feel outdoors a lot and to make it look combative and strong. Rather than wanting to break certain prejudices or prejudices, it contains the message that 'I can be strongest when we are together', just like 'Let's love myself' which has been shouting since our debut," he added.
The title song 'Girls Will Be Girls' is an impressive dance song with dynamic beats and scale vocal harmonies. Together, the name 'we' became stronger in the lyrics. The five members sing the determination that 'If we can be together, that's enough, and that we will gladly hold your hand and move on together'.
Yeji said "Just as our appearance was naturally captured in the concept of Teen Crush at the beginning of our debut, I think we naturally permeated the concept every time. If you look at the video, you may think you are very young, but I think you will be like that over time. In the future, I want to show my cool and fresh sides naturally." Yuna "While practicing the dance, Lia got hit in the ribs on her elbow. It's an album with ground ribs, so please pay a lot of attention."
In particular, Park Jin-young, the head of JYP Entertainment (hereinafter JYP), made a surprise appearance in the new trailer video in the form of a dramatize, drawing attention.
Ryu Jin-eun "Director Gwang-goong gave me an idea and asked the producer, and he appeared so commonly. Thank you so much for making the atmosphere of the set good. The producer worked hard to give feedback on our song and choreography. They told us to show our energy because the song was so good, so we focused on that part"Thank you."
In addition, the album contains a total of five songs, including 'Kiss and Tell', 'Lock and Loaded', 'Pramis', and 'Walk'.
ITZY is in its seventh year this year. Most idol groups sign a seven-year exclusive contract with their agency when they debut, and often scatter to other agencies when the exclusive contract is over, so seven years is considered an idol's journey. There is even a saying that '7 years of magic'.
Chaeryeong said "I can't believe we're already discussing renewing the contract for the seventh year. We are working hard to coordinate with the company. I'll be able to give you good news soon."
ITZY will release 'Girls Will Be Girls' at 6 p.m. Prior to this, a countdown live with fans will be held at 5 p.m.
Lia said "It's hard to say with exact figures, but I hope many people will recognize our efforts as it is an activity where they put their efforts into it. Personally, this song has your charisma that ITZY hasn't shown before. I want to get a description of 'charismatic'" he said.
Yeji is enjoying her participation in the 'Girl Group Summer Queen' as a K-pop lover. We're looking forward to the activities of our seniors and juniors and we also want to show you good performances"I'm determined.
