TIMELINE
The journey
ORIGIN
JYP's next girl group
2018 — 2019
After TWICE, JYP built ITZY around a 'teen crush' identity — bold, self-assured pop aimed at a younger, attitude-first audience. Centered on Chaeryeong and a lineup of sharp dancers and rappers, the group was positioned as a sound-and-image reset from JYP's previous cutesy template.
DEBUT
Dalla Dalla debut
2019 — 2020
Dalla Dalla launched the group with a record-fast rookie reception and an anthem built around not caring what others think. Follow-ups ICY and Wannabe hardened the self-love message into ITZY's signature, making them one of the breakout rookie acts of their generation.
Anchor track: Wannabe
GLOBAL
Not Shy & Loco
2020 — 2022
Not Shy and the English-friendly Loco pushed ITZY onto the global stage with US showcases and a first world tour. The group leaned into high-intensity choreography as its calling card, building a reputation as one of the most demanding dance acts of the fourth generation.

BREAKTHROUGH
Cake & Born to Be
2022 — 2024
Cake and the Born to Be album broadened the palette beyond the debut formula, with Yeji's solo Born to Be a standout. Member Lia stepped back for a health-related hiatus during this stretch before rejoining, and the group kept a steady release-and-tour cadence.
Anchor track: Cake
RETURN
Gold & contract renewal
2025
All five members renewed with JYP in September 2025, settling stability fears, and a dense run of EPs — Girls Will Be Girls, Tunnel Vision and Motto — paired with the Tunnel Vision world tour. The renewals plus a full comeback planned for 2026 marked ITZY's move into a stable veteran phase.
