Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 16) — Around four years since their debut, K-pop girl group Itzy has definitely made a number of hit songs. Which among these does each of the members love to perform?
‘
Speaking to CNN Philippines prior to their two-day Manila concert during the weekend, Itzy’s main vocalist Lia, and Yuna, the group’s “maknae” or youngest, said it would be their debut song “Dalla Dalla” for them.
‘
“It means a lot to us since it’s our debut song and it’s the song that kind of represents ourselves to our Midzys,” Lia said referring to the group’s fandom name.
‘
“The message that the song has about ‘loving myself’ is basically one of the themes that we continue out on all the time, so I think that’s one of the songs that best represents our identity,” she added.
‘
Lia also said the song has a lot of memories for the group since it is also one of the tracks they performed when they last visited the Philippines in 2019 for their showcase.
‘
As for the group’s main rapper and lead dancer Ryu-jin, she said they also have notable B-side tracks.
‘
“I want to recommend you ‘24Hrs’ from the Wannabe album. It’s really hip and it’s a very cool song,” she said.
‘
Being one of the dancers of the group, Chae-ryeong said its “Wannabe” — one of their title songs — for her for its addictive “shoulder dance.”
‘
As for Itzy’s leader Ye-ji, it would be their latest song “Cheshire” because of its “very attractive sound” and “very attractive dancing point.”
‘
Itzy just concluded a two-day concert in the Philippines on Saturday and Sunday for their “Checkmate” world tour. This was more than three years since the group held a showcase in the country in 2019.
‘
Ye-ji said the group is glad their first stop for their Asia tour is in the Philippines and that the members prepared a lot for the Filipino Midzys.
‘
Yu-na noted that aside from their hit songs, each member also has her own solo performances that will surely leave an impact to their fans.
‘
With a new year ahead, the JYP Entertainment girl group said they have a lot of things prepared so Midzys should stay tuned.
‘
“We hope that the rest of our Asia tour we are going to do it safely and wonderfully, having communication with a lot of people here and we also have a lot of lineups for our 2023 performances and activities so we hope you all guys are excited,” Ye-ji said in Korean.
