Group izna member Bang Ji-min captivated Saturday home viewers with diverse charms.
Bang Ji-min appeared as a guest on the tvN variety show "Amazing Saturday" broadcast on Oct. 18 and grabbed viewers' attention with her distinctive visuals worthy of an idol-world "center award of confidence" and her bright, cheerful charm.
In the episode, staged as the first "Amazing Saturday" jewel box special, Bang Ji-min entered to izna's "SIGN" and "BEEP" and displayed a fresh choreography, emitting a strong presence from the start. She followed with a witty promotion of her new song in her first greeting, saying, "I recently made a comeback with 'Mamma Mia.' Listen to it now, not just when you have time."
As the full-fledged games began, Bang Ji-min's performance stood out even more. She hard-carried by answering almost all the questions alone in the "Act it out" game, leading the team to victory. Also, true to being the first idol with a "hair fancam," she showcased supreme visuals as if a shampoo commercial model by letting her hair flow, and she freely controlled dynamic choreography, drawing admiration from the cast.
Bang Ji-min also quickly solved the initial-consonant snack quiz and then performed the new song "Mamma Mia" powerfully. She didn't stop there, acting like a new-song promotion fairy by exclaiming "Mamma Mia" every time she tasted food.
Meanwhile, izna, which includes Bang Ji-min, is maintaining clear growth momentum, achieving its first terrestrial music show No. 1 with the title track "Mamma Mia" from mini album 2 "Not Just Pretty" on KBS2's "Music Bank."
izna will hold its first fan concerts "Not Just Pretty" consecutively in Korea and Japan in November and December. The group is also listed as a nominee for the rookie award and on the performing artist lineup for the 2025 MAMA AWARDS, where it will meet global fans.
