With their upbeat bops and confident, cool demeanors, K-pop rookies ITZYofficial dominated the last year. We talked to ITZY about self-love, their sisterhood, and MIDZY ✨🦄 있지 🔗:
, but the members say their leader is the"most hard-working," someone on whom they rely for honest feedback and encouragement."When I'm struggling, I get a lot of confidence from practicing a lot and seeing those results on stage, especially when the fans react positively to it," Yeji says."I'll read the comments, and that gives me a boost of confidence.
"Since we're very similar in age, we all treat each other like friends," Lia says."Even if we're very different, we all respect each other and understand each other." But one thing they do all have in common?"We practice and train for the same dream together." Watching ITZY command the stage at Brooklyn's Kings Theatre while listening to thousands of fans, officially called MIDZY, shout the words"I love myself" as they sing along to"DALLA DALLA," it's clear that the rookies are boldly living that dream."DALLA DALLA" introduced the world to five young women who were unafraid to be loud in a world that would rather they remain silent.
That theme continues in their second single"Icy," a fierce anthem about not being affected by others’ opinions."I'm the type of person who cares a bit less about what others say," Lia notes."Normally, I don't really care, or I care a little less compared to others." Others, like Chaeryeong, are still working on it."I do care what other people say," she adds."I'm trying not to be affected by that as much.
"Icy" is that song for ITZY fans. About the freedom of staying true to yourself and your intentions, it makes the listener feel safe and, more importantly, seen."They keep talkin', I keep walkin'," Yuna sings in English on the hook. But the track’s real power is in the way that ITZY assert themselves; they're not asking for permission or forgiveness.
