Itzy
Itzy (Korean: 있지; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment. The group consists of five members: Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna. They are recognized for their "teen crush" concept and for exploring themes of independence and self-love in their music.
Itzy debuted on February 12, 2019, with the single album It'z Different and its lead single "Dalla Dalla", which peaked at number two on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart, the Billboard K-pop Hot 100, and the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart. The music video set a new record for the most views in 24 hours for a K-pop debut, and "Dalla Dalla" emerged as the best-performing girl group song of the year in South Korea. Later that year, Itzy became the first K-pop girl group in history to achieve a "Rookie Grand Slam", winning all five major Rookie of the Year awards.
Between 2019 and 2021, Itzy released four extended plays (EPs): It'z Icy, It'z Me, Not Shy, and Guess Who, each producing top-ten singles in South Korea, including "Icy", "Wannabe", "Not Shy", and "In the Morning". In 2021, they released their debut studio album Crazy in Love, which climbed to number 11 on the US Billboard 200.
In 2022, their fifth EP, Checkmate, became their first to sell over one million copies and entered the Billboard 200 top ten, reaching number eight. Its lead single "Sneakers" rose to number five on the Circle Digital Chart and topped the Billboard South Korea Songs Chart. Following their Checkmate World Tour, which included stops in Asia, North America, and Europe, the group released two more million-selling EPs: Cheshire (2022) and Kill My Doubt (2023). Alongside these releases, Itzy made their official Japanese debut with several singles and their first Japanese studio album, Ringo (2023), which reached number seven on the Oricon Combined Albums Chart and number five on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums Chart.
In 2024, Itzy released their eighth EP, Born to Be, and embarked on the Born to Be World Tour. In the same year, they released their ninth EP, Gold, which marked their seventh appearance on the Billboard 200. This was followed in 2025 by their tenth EP, Girls Will Be Girls, and their second Japanese studio album, Collector.
The group's name is derived from the Korean word itji (있지), which means 'to have'. The members say it means they have everything their fans want. As Lia put it, "'Itzy' means 'to have' in Korean. We have everything you guys expect in us. So, 'all in us', that's what we say all the time".
Before their debut, Itzy's members each followed unique paths within the K-pop industry. Chaeryeong and her sister initially auditioned for Fantagio but did not pass. Both were later discovered by JYP Entertainment (JYP) through the television series K-pop Star 3. In 2015, Chaeryeong participated in JYP's survival show Sixteen, which formed the girl group Twice. Although she didn't make the final lineup, she became the first member to join Itzy and trained with JYP for five years prior to debut.
Ryujin was scouted at a Got7 concert and trained with JYP for four years leading up to Itzy's debut. Yuna and Yeji both joined JYP in 2015 after passing auditions and trained for three years. Yuna was discovered at a music festival, while Yeji secured her place through an audition. Lia was initially accepted as a trainee by SM Entertainment after passing a global audition in Canada but backed out due to her parents' concerns. She later auditioned for JYP and trained for two years prior to the group's debut.
