DID YOU KNOW
Trivia & lore
ITZY comes from the Korean itji (있지), meaning "to have".
"Trust Me (Midzy)", released in March 2021 at their first global livestream, was written as a gift to fans.
"Dalla Dalla" sold 2,000 US downloads in its first week, the best-selling K-pop song in the country that week.
In 2022 Republic Records and JYP expanded their partnership to cover ITZY's US promotion.
Lia sat out from September 2023 to July 2024, so the Born to Be World Tour began as a four-member show.

JYP's next girl group
2018 — 2019
After TWICE, JYP built ITZY around a "teen crush" concept — independence and self-love. The name comes from the Korean itji, "to have".
DEBUT
Dalla Dalla debut
2019 — 2020
"Dalla Dalla" set a 24-hour view record for a K-pop debut video and won a music show in eight days, the fastest a girl group had done it. ICY and Wannabe kept the defiant self-love message, and ITZY swept all five major rookie awards.

Crazy in Love & Checkmate
2021 — 2023
The first studio album Crazy in Love reached number 11 on the Billboard 200 behind "Loco". Checkmate became their first million-seller in 2022, entered the Billboard 200 top ten and launched the first world tour; Cheshire and Kill My Doubt ("Cake") followed.
