The group ITZY proves once again the formidable power of the "K-pop performance queens" with their new mini album Motto.
ITZY will officially release their new mini album Motto on the 18th and begin full-fledged comeback activities. This new release, their first new work in about six months since the album TUNNEL VISION, is expected to carry forward the momentum of the world tour of the same name, which is currently sailing smoothly amid strong responses from global fans.
In particular, the stages previewed at the world tour, which opened in February at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, have greatly heated up expectations for this album. THAT'S A NO NO, which was first revealed during the Seoul performance, showcased the members' dynamic energy and relaxed stage manner and was loved by fans, earning the nickname "daechu no-no." Even before its official release, the song entered Melon's Top 100 chart among major domestic music sites, and the stage video's view count rose sharply, proving its strong buzz.
One of the highlights of this album is the inclusion of five distinct solo songs that set the concert stage ablaze. From an emotional mood to confident attitude, the recordings Pocket (Yeji), Asylum (Lia), LOOK (Ryu Jin), Undefined (Chaeryeong), and Tangerine (Yuna) capture each member's clear individuality and recreate the overwhelming emotion of the concert. Added to this are the title track Motto and Glitch, and you And I, completing a total of eight well-made tracks. Renowned domestic and international songwriters such as Shim Eunji, Lee Woo-min "collapsedone," KASS, and Justin Reinstein participated in large numbers, raising the album's completeness.
As ITZY has always captivated the public with overwhelming group choreography, anticipation for the title track Motto's performance has also peaked along with the release of uniquely aesthetic teaser content. Fans worldwide are focused on how the members' further upgraded skills and expressiveness, honed through numerous domestic and international stage experiences, are reflected in the new song's choreography.
Meanwhile, ITZY's new mini album Motto, which solidifies their global dominance, will be released on the 18th at 6 p.m. on various online music sites. One hour before the music release, at 5 p.m., they will hold a countdown live to communicate closely with global fans.
