The fandom name is MIDZY. Unfortunately Lia did not participate in the latest Comeback 'Born To Be' because of Hiatus🥲 I recommend checking out their other songs!! For example: Bet On Me None Of My Business SWIPE Boys Like You LOCO Mr. Vampire (Four members) Untouchable (Four members) Born To Be (Four members) They will soon have another Japanese COMEBACK (Algorhythm)! I recommend Japanese songs, e.g. Ringo, Blah Blah Blah or Voltage❤
@@SerenityReacts Thank you for pinning!! ITZY is my favorite group and I'm happy that so many new people continue to join their fandom! I'm waiting for the next one 😽
This is what cake means. If you think your life is a piece of cake (easy) then it will be easy eventhough it is so hard. If you believe the fear inside you is your friend, then it will be your friend and you will not be scared. If the green screen is broken, but you perform as nothing wrong, you r not fucked up and it is good performance.
They are very underrated, ITZY is one of the most talented groups in Kpop, each member also has a good personality and MIDZY is one of the most peaceful fandoms in Kpop. I think they are very cool girls, they grew up naturally without much gimmicks from the agency, many even said that JYP managed them badly, but I think they were just given a different path than the typical commercial group. ITZY is the type of group that I would definitely introduce to my little sister
Awe that’s so sweet. I can’t wait to learn more about them. Straight out the gate I could tell how great they were at dancing. I love their vocals too and the visuals are on a whole different level!
Itzy are NOT underrated, they're UNDERLOOKED. They have the fame and the name, they have achievements and are still in kpop culture, but they're late hits aren't reflecting that due to the hate trains of 2023. I really do hope they become popular again
@@naevitzy i hate to hear that. I hope that dies down and they can go back to normal! Its so unfair to them. I don't and won't ever understand why theres so much hate in the kpop industry .
What I know is that Lia is on hiatus that is why Itzy members went from 5 to 4. Lia even attended one of the recent concerts of Itzy and there were crying moments.
I guess she's pregnant. On hiatus is the most common excuse used by Pregnant female idols in the Asian entertainment industry. - It's like they suddenly disappeared. In 2024, when everyone has a smartphone, it is almost impossible to completely disappear.- Just saying.
@@TennSingtsuan9697it's mental health issues, Since you spoke in this way, I'm sure you weren't there before she went on hiatus. The amount of hate and animosity the group and she had was terrible, several people speaking ill of her dance, and that she was a member who was useless to the group, apart from hate nothing other members for other reasons and the group in general, it was very very difficult, she needed time. That was the reason, are you going to tell me that when Jeong and Mina from Twice went on hiatus it was pregnancy? IT WAS MENTAL HEALTH TOO! It may be that some go on hiatus for this reason, but if you can't clearly see what the problem and reason for Lia leaving was, you simply didn't follow all the hate every day we saw in the fandom at the time.
@@josi4samo that’s so sad. I can’t even imagine. I just don’t understand why there’s so much hate in kpop. I feel like every group I’ve covered I’ve heard of hate and even from other groups. I’m a blink and the comments I’ve seen on some of their videos or videos where they are reading comments and they are mean. I just don’t understand. I don’t get why people feel the need to be mean. If you don’t like someone or something like move on. I literally had someone hate on this video. Like just move on if you don’t like something instead of spreading negativity. I do hope she returns and over comes all of the haters. Someone also said she was one of the main singers so hearing some of that surprises me.
@@SerenityReacts yes this is terrible... I had to comment this text because someone had said that lia left due to pregnancy (?) stupid thing, but the person deleted the comment, I can't understand this hate that this industry has, it's very sick. chaeryeong had hate before debut and at the beginning of it because they said she was ugly, there is even a video of her crying and talking about it, but it passed after a while and there were never any more bad comments about them, on such a large scale you know? but when they released sneakers in 2022..... it was terrible, people didn't like the concept of that song and a absurd hate started against them, affecting the whole group. then they started to throw a lot of hate at yuna the youngest, calling her " pick me girl " and several bad things, it was VERY bad for her, yuna changed after that time. she's not the same as she used to be until today. and when yuna's hate started to calm down, lia's hate started, with the things I said up there... then a few months later lia went on hiatus, which was last year, and well she's still there, but I hope she comes back soon... she is one of my biases, I miss her a lot. and I saw the hate comment on your video, don't mind it okay? I love your reactions! the person doesn't know you, they saw just ONE of your videos and commented crap, it shouldn't be taken seriously okay?
ITZY is such a wonderful group! Very well known for their dance performance, rap parts, and stage presence, they are very underrated in the vocal area even though they are singing 95% of their stage performances live ! All of them can dance very well and they are often defined as the best dance group in the 4th Gen (and I would personally say of all time but it's my opinion) Yeji is the Leader and Unni - Yeji (the one you are drawn to) and Hyunjin from SKZ are called the Hwang Siblings because of the similarities of their face and they are both named Hwang. Lia the Main Vocalist - she is currently on hiatus but I am sure she will come back soon to make her vocals shine even more than before Ryujin the Main Rapper - the definition of the bad girl image => so charismatic OMG Chaeryeong the Main Dancer - simply the definition of being born to dance and sing at the same time Yuna is the Maknae - stunning visuals and overflowing confidence! What else? Imo the cake song is saying that life is a piece of cake and we don't care if we are under fire or falling from a high height, ITZY will also be unbothered, keep going whatever they feel like, and enjoy life like we would enjoy a piece of cake. Lyrics from Itzy songs have always deep meaning about self-confidence, not caring about what others say, and enjoying life the most. For the guide, I personally prefer "A guide to Itzy: 2022 edition" but any guide would be perfect.
Thank you! I will make sure to check out the guides. I love ryujins attitude she gives off. I eat it up. I love the meaning behind itzy. It makes me have so much respect for them. I can tell they are super talented. I hope Lia comes back soon and stronger than ever! Thank you for the explanations I seriously appreciate it!
Ohhhhhhh. That’s so nice. I love that for them. I definitely can feel the girl power behind it. And nothing is more important than loving yourself. So happy that’s what they have been based around. I think in society nowadays that’s so important to have.
Dalla dalla is theyr debut song. They have very powerfull dancebreaks and theyr choreo is hard on some of the songs. Itzy deserves more than what they get.
I think the main thing you need to know about ITZY is that the majority of their songs especially the title tracks are focused on self empowerment. Mafia might be the one that really doesn't fit in with that as much but its still a great song. The other thing you need to know about ITZY is they are performance queens on stage but goof balls in all the variety and behind the scenes content, utter chaos in the most fun ways.
I had to chance to get to know kpop thanks to ITZY. They are my favorite girl group. If it hadn't been for them, I wouldn't even be here.(you can watch a fan guide video to get to know them better)
In the Cake video the members are constantly having people take shots at them while they’re just trying to do their thing, (Performances, concerts, music videos) but they keep going. The video is basically saying do what makes you happy and if you ignore the hate people throw your way, it doesn’t really matter. At least that’s what I got.
This was a shocker to seeing you posting this, and I was actually really hoping that you would react to ITZY so I'm glad u did. Thank you for this wonderful reaction!!💗💗
Thank you for watching it! I didn’t realize how much of itzy I did know 😅 but I’m super excited to get to know them more!! I saw they are touring in the states and was like ahhhhh I wanna go so bad.
@@SerenityReacts Also you were right Mischa did preform 'icy' by Itzy for the dance (stone) so did Camila. btw u should really check out the lyrics of all the songs for Itzy because their songs are very uplifting and always have something to do with self- love. I can't wait for part 2!
I will! Thank you for this comment. I was nervous about posting this video because I noticed I relaxed my face a bit because I got so wrapped in the videos and I got an L comment earlier so seeing this comment made me feel SO much better.
I’m a midzy since almost a year now and i’ve never regretted it, they’re exceptional, so talented and sooo kind, i had the chance to saw them in concert and i can tell you that they’re the same, so energetic, so pretty, as i said they’re also SOOO sweet🩷🩷
I’m so jelly. I really want to see them but I don’t have anyone to go with and I’m trying to save up to go see stray kids and vcha again so I probably shouldn’t 😩
Hi Serenity! ITZY is touring the US in June! I highly recommend going bc their live performances never disappoints! They were built to be a performance-focused group. I’ve seen them live 8x already and the energy in the venue each time is electric! ITZY’s stage presence and charisma is second to none!
I literally looked at the prices of the tickets last night! I’m trying to go see stray kids and vcha at lollapalooza in August so idk think I could swing both. 😩
@@SerenityReacts the music videos for all of these songs have really cool editing and storyline, for Not Shy, there are also some cutscenes and end scenes too!
thank you for checking them out! been stanning since debut and these girls never disappoint! they're so sweet and talented, please check out more of them!
I love ITZY they're so special to me because I started my Kpop journey with them, it seems like you're also drawn to Yeji who had the same effect on me lol I really enjoyed your reaction
Cake is basically about not letting things get to you eat it up like a piece of Cake and make it easy peasy. If you notice many crazy things are happening to them but they try their best to go on. Also many show references to shows or memes and such mostly Korean though but for example Squid Games is one. Btw Itzy have many of these songs in english also, so check those out before a lyrics video.
First of all, I love your smile when you react, and how you keep smiling throughout the reaction, it really represents me every time I watch Itzy, make sure you watch their guide video, im a multifan of gg but I love itzy the most😊 
Sounds like you already know several key points of their origin story. Adding to what you’ve already brought up… * Yeji, Ryujin, and Chaeryeong were part of JYPE’s first organized female dance team, so yes, seems like they built their concept largely around strong dancers * To ramp up awareness for future members, several were sent to participate on other shows. Yeji was a contestant on The Fan, Ryujin dominated 1st place on YG’s ill-fated Mixnine, and (strongly rumored central member but not part of the final line-up) Jeon Somi had been doing a bunch of variety shows after wrapping up as the 1st place winner of Produce 101 and being the center of project girl group I.O.I. * (And prior to those shows, Chaeryeong and her sister Chaeyeon (later a member of Produce 48’s resulting group, IZ*ONE) were contestants on K-Pop Star as children. Then those two and Somi were contestants on Sixteen, the competition that formed Twice.) * Lia was brought on as the Main Vocal, to fill in that gap from the Dance Team members. * At some point, for whatever reason, Somi left JYPE to go free agent, ultimately signing with YG subsidiary TheBlackLabel. So maknae Yuna filled that vacant spot, making the final line-up.
WOW. Thats a lot. I didn't realize all of that. Im so jealous of all the knowledge you have! Chaeryeong was on sixteen?! woah. I guess I thought there was more of a time gap between the groups than what there really is. So if Yeji was a contestant somewhere else was she not a JYP trainee at that time? I was always under the impression that if you were a trainee you couldn't par take in other competitions?
Typically groups are put out halfway through the previous group's contract, so that a company always has a girl group or boy group going if the previous one disbands. Twice went a little long without a junior group. Trainees going on other competition shows has become pretty common as a promotional tool. The general idea for these Produce shows (and their various follow-ups) resulting in short-term contracts is that after the Produce group is over, the members go back to their respective companies and are walking, talking...singing...dancing...billboards for whatever group get formed around them. Lesserafim and Ive are two current prime examples of this method at work. There have even been some instances where members of existing, currently active groups join these competition programs. However, as you can guess, that typically only happens if their current group isn't already busy/popular, and their having to balance time between their original and project groups can wind up being a hindrance to original-group activities while the project group is active. The hope is that the original group can "tread water" while the one member gains popularity, then they can stage a big comeback in the more traditional, non-k-pop parlance.
Ryujin, Yeji, and Chaeryoung were trainees at the time and were in that Stray Kids survival video, back when JYP was deciding on either the boys or girls teams to debut. Chaeryoung was also in Sixteen and had a chance to become part of Twice, though she was very young then. They are very known for their dance as you picked up on, but they are vocal solid as well. They do dance practices while singing live, usually names "stage practices". Good luck on your Itzy journey, can't wait til you get to NMIXX the newest group.
@@SerenityReacts No rush, you can take your time with Itzy and Twice content is endless. NMIXX music is very different, but they are vocally at the top of the industry, no joke.
ITZY always gets a thumbs up. Thank You. I appreciate you. All the ITZY members were on Girls team 2 in episode one of Stray kids survival show, EXCEPT for Lia, she had only just joined JYPE a few months before that filmed and did not participate in that trainee showcase. Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna were all in the Stray kids show. Fun fact, had the girls team won at that time, ITZY would be straykids and stray kids would be ITZY ;)
누가 뭐라고 해도 Itzy는 퍼포먼스에 있어서는 케이팝 원탑입니다.. 보컬의 실력이 뛰어난 보컬리스트는 아니지만, 안무를 하면서 라이브를 해내는 노력파이고 실력파입니다.. Lia의 얼굴을 보니 눈물이 나려고 하는데..ㅠ 얼른 다시 돌아와서 멋진 활동 보여주면 좋겠습니다..
I got into Kpop from Blackpink, but Itzy secured my love of Kpop. Their performances are absolutely top tier, probably the best dancers/choreography of their generation. Visuals on point! Video editing is stellar. Their latest comeback was epic! And the one you’re drawn to is my ult bias, Ryujin! 😍
Black pink was the first girl group I knew! I love and adore them. I could tell how talented itzy was. Especially since they have dance breaks in most of their songs. Their visuals are stellar. And I just generally love the sounds of their songs and the meaning behind the group itself.
Everytime I listen to WANNABE, I hear Kendall in my head, going "Don't pretend to be someone I'M NOT!", and nailing the high note in full voice instead of falsetto.
@@SerenityReacts Itzy are known for their high energy dance numbers, so that's why they're a popular choice amongst the A2K girls for dance evaluations
Hey Serenity! I don't know anything about Itzy, so I got nothing to comment, I'll just watch and like, lol. I remember that Itzy's "Icy" was one of the songs referenced in the rap part of NiziU's "Make You Happy".
So I didn’t realize but NiziU did a hand full of itzy songs in nizi project! I’m thinking of doing a stream and going back and rewatching the NiziU auditions and performances. I watched one earlier and was like WOAH.
Fun fact, Changbin and Chaeryeong are neighbors and they are best of friends!! They are literally close to each other thats why you would notice in tiktok dances they're the ones always partnered for a promo song 😂
@@SerenityReacts They never stated why though. What took me out a bit is all the Stray Kids and A2K references though I know of both vaguely I'm not very interested in them. So it feels a bit like taking one out of the Itzy immersion.
For new to itzy lets do wannabe order who sing Ryujin - Main Dancer,Main Rapper Yeji - Lead Vocalist,Main Dancer,Lead Rapper Yuna - Vocalist,Lead Rapper,Lead Dancer Charyeong - Main Dancer,Vocalist,Lead Rapper Lia - Main Vocalist
I loved watching you react to one of my favorite groups. and I am glad to know that you enjoyed watching them! I just was hoping you would react their M/V not just the Performance Videos. Looking forward to your Part 2.
@@SerenityReacts OMG, no worries at all, I just got done watching it on your channel! You're totally fine and definitely made up for it! Plus, Mafia: In the Morning is one of my favs!
@@SerenityReacts I'd love to see them, as they were the group that got back into K pop, I ran into them during a "keep one or the other" video that had a mixture of k pop and American pop songs. and the rest is history from there. lol I did manage to see Stray Kids in Cali last year though, very surreal, Glad I took a video or two to make sure I was imagining I was there. lol
Left a like! I enjoyed your ITZY reactions!!! Thank you for exploring the girls' masterpieces! Note: ITZY's main vocal-LIA was on hiatus due to anxiety. Let's hope she's doing very well on her recovery! 😊
Hey Serenity! I've watched all your a2k reaction videos so its like a full circle moment to see you react to ITZYs debut (since Dalla Dalla was played in ALL the audition rounds 😄). I loved your reaction! Oh, to add a little bit more to the lore/origin story -- both Ryujin and Yuna appeared in the BTS love yourself highlight reel (which was how I started following ITZY...& fun fact: Camila from VCHA was featured in one of the BTS love yourself campaign videos as well). I'm honestly still waiting for an ITZY x VCHA interaction since I know they pass by each other in the JYPE hallways 🤞
First off. Thank you for your support 🫶🏼🫶🏼 and ikr!! After seeing itzy sing and dance dalla I was like wow. Was a full circle moment that was for me! BTS love yourself highlight reel. Hmmm and Camilla in the campaign I’ll have to go look this up! I’m absolutely clueless 😅 I’m waiting to see what other group vcha gets to collab with next!
@@SerenityReacts yeah 😂 there is a video online somewhere with her doing show cases with some of the members. But even in videos when ITZY and Niziu interact, the ITZY members are often joking around with Mako so they are definitely close.
Oooh, if you're just randomly exploring things adjacent to the JYP shows you've been watching, an unexpectedly fun idea might be to sample some of the actual songs and performances of JYP himself. Even if the music isn't for you, that stuff is pretty wildly absurd and fun, not to mention an amusing look into how the man weirdly sees himself. He's like a walking meme.
@@SerenityReacts If you want to start with something American-adjacent, you can check out “Fire,” the song he did with Conan O’Brien (yes, really) and Steven Yuen, with appearances from young Twice and Wonder Girls in their band era. You seem to be just around the age to have heard the New Jack Swing trend growing up, so his duet with his protege Rain, “Switch to Me,” may tickle your nostalgia bone. This can be paired with Twice’s Dahyun & Chaeyoung’s parody version. Then, there’s the essential “national anthem” of JYP Nation, “Don’t Leave Me.” This is the original song he wrote and auditioned at SM Entertainment with. And though they didn’t want to sign him as an idol, they did like the song enough to want to buy it from him. The course of k-pop history would’ve been radically different if he didn’t keep the song and gone into business for himself. You wanna talk about butterfly effects, BTS may never have come into existence if he and Bang Si-Hyuk never met and cranked out hits together.
It was confirmed that after itzy world tour ,in the 4th quarter of 2024 itzy were going to do a comeback as ot5 as lia joining them soon, it was also rumered that they will do a 3rd world tour as 5 members ❤😊 , but it will be so much for them i hope they will first take a rest then do the world tour , hope for the best for our itzy gurls 💖👑
@@SerenityReacts all members of Itzy, except for Lia, appeared on the Mnet reality show Stray Kids as a project group with the boy band that would later become Stray Kids
BACKSTORY/PRE-DEBUT ACTIVITIES 1. YEJI (Leader, Main Dancer): Yeji auditioned at JYP. She also participated in "The Fan" show by SBS. This is where her nickname "JYP's Hidden Weapon" started. 2. LIA (Main Vocal): She auditioned to SM Ent. first and she passed however she did not pursue her career there and auditioned in JYP as well and she passed. 3. RYUJIN (Center, Main Rapper): She got casted at a GOT7 concert. She just attended a concert but a staff spotted her and asked her number which she gave because the staff was cute 😂 Ryujin also competed in a survival show by JBTC "MIXNINE" and ranked #1 in female contestants. YG ceo Yang Hyunsuk wanted to steal her from JYP 😂 4. CHAERYEONG (Main Dancer): She, along with her sister Chaeyeon (who is a former iz*one member now a soloist) was casted by JYP through SBS' competition show "K-pop Star 3". Then she was part of JYP's survival show "SIXTEEN" where the TWICE members will be formed she came far but didn't make it to the final lineup. 5. YUNA (Visual, Maknae): Her sister is a BTOB fan and she accompanied her to KBS Gayo Daejun 2015 and there she got casted by a staff (just like Ryujin). Funfacts in 2017 - RYUJIN and YUNA appeared in BTS' Love Yourself highlight reel and did mini acting there. - The same year, all ITZY members except LIA appeared on the reality of MNET for Stray Kids. There's a starter guide for ITZY but these things I mentioned weren't part of it and is a MIDZY knowledge level so I'd like to share it to you in case. Please do react on their starter guides the original one is "Unhelpful guide to ITZY" by ryujinies uploaded 3 years ago. They have good info, however it's kind of outdated so its your choice if you watch it or the other ones like from itzybean and kpop einsteinium (I suggest all of them lol) ❤
Haha who knows. Maybe I’ll watch all of them. I love hearing stories of idols being spotted at concerts. That’s so crazy to me. I need back stories of it lol. Thank you so much for all this information! I don’t know anything about the BTS love yourself reels but sounds like I need to check it out.
Though we now have the tradition of Twice doing an English-language single alongside their Korean title tracks, at the time A2K was filming, Itzy was already re-doing a bunch of their title tracks as English versions, making them prime candidates for the curated selection of audition songs. Now why everyone seemed to just be doing Dalla Dalla instead of others is a whole other question. I might have mentioned it in response to your A2K reactions, but I was hoping to see more Wonder Girls songs on the show, since they had a whole bunch of English version and English-first songs during JYP’s very early “American invasion” in the aughts. (If you’ve encountered the name Sunmi in your k-pop travels, she was originally from that group.)
Ahhhh I see. I just didn’t realize how much itzys songs were used between A2K and Nizi project! Haha yes idk why everyone was only doing that dance but the beginning of dalla dalla is embedded in my head 😅
The Western style probably has a lot to do with the styling of the official MV which portrays Itzy as a group of outlaws in a Quentin Tarantino style Desert Southwest heist movie.
Lia is the memeber who's on hiatus for mental health issues, she's itzy's main vocalist, known for her angelic soothing voice, rich aura, like yeji she's the member with the duality like when she smiles she's the cutest but when she's not smiling she's someone, its just her facial expressions , I'm telling you about lia separately so that you know about her, she's the member who speak English fluently although all members can speak english now but not as fluent as lia, she's the English representative of the group because she lived in Canada for few years and she also studied in a British school in south korea, the comeback born to be itzy recently did as four but all the members have solo songs in it lia also have a solo song called blossom, it's so good , she also had three osts for kdramas, her osts :blue flower, one hundred love, always be your star,) these are really famous kdramas , even at the moment blue flower ost of lia recently surpaased 12 million streams on Spotify making her the only female idol of 4th generation to do so , i hope after itzy reactions you react to Lia ost blue flower 😊
@@SerenityReacts yes of course😊 , Blue flower from the drama Alchemy of souls, Always be your star from the drama The red sleeves, One hundred love from the drama Doctor romantic 3 , she also had a episode in Lee mujin service where she showed her vocals and talk about her if you really wanna see her you can see that episode it's episode 22 you will not disappointed after watching it ❤, I don't know if you notice or not but in my dp she's Lia she's my ultra bias 😊💖🦥
for a guide to you react I recommend the " A GUIDE TO ITZY 2022 EDTION " it's the best one in my opinion :) since it's short compared to the twice one, is only 14 minutes i recommend for you to do two! that 2022 version and the " a somehow helpful guide to itzy member introduction 2023 "
@@SerenityReacts I am sorry the Ryujines channel is the fandom endorsed best guide. Even though it was made in 2020. You can supplement that with the Itzybean guide
@@incheonguy if they aren't too long I may be able to just cover all three of them. I figured I would cover two of them anyways like how I did with Twice.
In the cake me you can see that they go through several dangerous situations such as falling and landing on a truck, being in a squid game like situation, being near lightning, having a car split in half, etc. however they are always okay. They got a lot of hate for sneakers and all of their following releases which I guess represents the dangerous situations, but the lyrics are telling us that we should stop and focus on ourselves instead of hating, and that it’s a piece of cake if you are indifferent. Talkers at least what I got out of it. But seriously they got so much hate and it affected Lia so much as they said she wasn’t a good enough dancer or singer which is absolutely false!
lol you’re not stupid! I’m the stupid one for thinking I was reacting to MVs but I was doing the performance videos 😅 thank you for the break down. I was kind of wondering if it was saying everything’s okay it’s a piece of cake. That does make the MV make more sense. I hate to hear that they’ve gotten so much hate and for what! I’ll never understand trolls. Like if you don’t have anything nice to say move on. And most haters don’t come near having the talents they do so why even talk about them. It hurts my heart to know there’s so much hate in this industry.
Jyp groups never dissapoints and mostly the groups you reacted to from Jyp so I think you need react to nmixx. My recommendation: o.o(debut),dice,love me like this,run for roses,dash

OH NOOOOO.... Just so you know,... you were watching their "Preformance" videos. You should watch the ACTUAL MV to the songs. Wannabe, Dalla Dalla, Icy, Not Shy, were all preformance video. When you watch the MV, you get close ups of the girls and some of them have their own set when they're singing solo. While the performance videos always shows the full group as if it were in a concert. AND YOU NEED TO REACT TO "MAFIA IN THE MORNING" and also "RINGO" .... the MVs ofcourse.
Soooooo I didn’t realize it was the performance videos until I went to link them when I uploaded 😅 big oof on my part. I’ll probably go back a watch the actual MVs lol

So ITZY consists of 5 members (Yeji, Chaeryeong, Ryujin, Yuna and Lia) Yeji is the leader and the Maknae is Yuna. The fandom name is MIDZY. Unfortunately Lia did not participate in the latest Comeback 'Born To Be' because of Hiatus🥲 I recommend checking out their other songs!!
For example:
Bet On Me
None Of My Business
SWIPE
Boys Like You
LOCO
Mr. Vampire (Four members)
Untouchable (Four members)
Born To Be (Four members)
They will soon have another Japanese COMEBACK (Algorhythm)!
I recommend Japanese songs, e.g. Ringo, Blah Blah Blah or Voltage❤
Pinned! Thank you for this! I’m currently uploading another video of the MVs since I messed up and did the performance videos here 😅😅
@@SerenityReacts Thank you for pinning!! ITZY is my favorite group and I'm happy that so many new people continue to join their fandom! I'm waiting for the next one 😽
@@strangeperson2 of course! It totally deserved it! Thank you for the warm welcome and next one is up 🫶🏼💕
@@SerenityReacts 💓💓💓
Itzy is my comfort group, their positivity makes bad days feel easier.
I can totally see this. They have grown on me so much. I love the positivity behind them.
This is what cake means. If you think your life is a piece of cake (easy) then it will be easy eventhough it is so hard. If you believe the fear inside you is your friend, then it will be your friend and you will not be scared. If the green screen is broken, but you perform as nothing wrong, you r not fucked up and it is good performance.
Thank you for this! That makes so much sense. Now I can enjoy this song so much more.
They are very underrated,
ITZY is one of the most talented groups in Kpop, each member also has a good personality and MIDZY is one of the most peaceful fandoms in Kpop.
I think they are very cool girls, they grew up naturally without much gimmicks from the agency, many even said that JYP managed them badly, but I think they were just given a different path than the typical commercial group.
ITZY is the type of group that I would definitely introduce to my little sister
Agree
Awe that’s so sweet. I can’t wait to learn more about them. Straight out the gate I could tell how great they were at dancing. I love their vocals too and the visuals are on a whole different level!
Itzy are NOT underrated, they're UNDERLOOKED. They have the fame and the name, they have achievements and are still in kpop culture, but they're late hits aren't reflecting that due to the hate trains of 2023. I really do hope they become popular again
@@naevitzy i hate to hear that. I hope that dies down and they can go back to normal! Its so unfair to them. I don't and won't ever understand why theres so much hate in the kpop industry .
@@SerenityReacts Was this a "Straight out the gate, no I don't wanna wate" ref from not shy or- 😭
What I know is that Lia is on hiatus that is why Itzy members went from 5 to 4. Lia even attended one of the recent concerts of Itzy and there were crying moments.
I see. Yes I did see a yt short of them crying when they saw Lia in the crowd! So sweet. I hope she recovers quickly!
I guess she's pregnant. On hiatus is the most common excuse used by Pregnant female idols in the Asian entertainment industry. - It's like they suddenly disappeared. In 2024, when everyone has a smartphone, it is almost impossible to completely disappear.- Just saying.
@@TennSingtsuan9697it's mental health issues, Since you spoke in this way, I'm sure you weren't there before she went on hiatus. The amount of hate and animosity the group and she had was terrible, several people speaking ill of her dance, and that she was a member who was useless to the group, apart from hate nothing other members for other reasons and the group in general, it was very very difficult, she needed time. That was the reason, are you going to tell me that when Jeong and Mina from Twice went on hiatus it was pregnancy? IT WAS MENTAL HEALTH TOO! It may be that some go on hiatus for this reason, but if you can't clearly see what the problem and reason for Lia leaving was, you simply didn't follow all the hate every day we saw in the fandom at the time.
@@josi4samo that’s so sad. I can’t even imagine. I just don’t understand why there’s so much hate in kpop. I feel like every group I’ve covered I’ve heard of hate and even from other groups. I’m a blink and the comments I’ve seen on some of their videos or videos where they are reading comments and they are mean. I just don’t understand. I don’t get why people feel the need to be mean. If you don’t like someone or something like move on. I literally had someone hate on this video. Like just move on if you don’t like something instead of spreading negativity. I do hope she returns and over comes all of the haters. Someone also said she was one of the main singers so hearing some of that surprises me.
@@SerenityReacts yes this is terrible... I had to comment this text because someone had said that lia left due to pregnancy (?) stupid thing, but the person deleted the comment, I can't understand this hate that this industry has, it's very sick. chaeryeong had hate before debut and at the beginning of it because they said she was ugly, there is even a video of her crying and talking about it, but it passed after a while and there were never any more bad comments about them, on such a large scale you know? but when they released sneakers in 2022..... it was terrible, people didn't like the concept of that song and a absurd hate started against them, affecting the whole group. then they started to throw a lot of hate at yuna the youngest, calling her " pick me girl " and several bad things, it was VERY bad for her, yuna changed after that time. she's not the same as she used to be until today. and when yuna's hate started to calm down, lia's hate started, with the things I said up there... then a few months later lia went on hiatus, which was last year, and well she's still there, but I hope she comes back soon... she is one of my biases, I miss her a lot. and I saw the hate comment on your video, don't mind it okay? I love your reactions! the person doesn't know you, they saw just ONE of your videos and commented crap, it shouldn't be taken seriously okay?
ITZY is such a wonderful group! Very well known for their dance performance, rap parts, and stage presence, they are very underrated in the vocal area even though they are singing 95% of their stage performances live ! All of them can dance very well and they are often defined as the best dance group in the 4th Gen (and I would personally say of all time but it's my opinion)
Yeji is the Leader and Unni - Yeji (the one you are drawn to) and Hyunjin from SKZ are called the Hwang Siblings because of the similarities of their face and they are both named Hwang.
Lia the Main Vocalist - she is currently on hiatus but I am sure she will come back soon to make her vocals shine even more than before
Ryujin the Main Rapper - the definition of the bad girl image => so charismatic OMG
Chaeryeong the Main Dancer - simply the definition of being born to dance and sing at the same time
Yuna is the Maknae - stunning visuals and overflowing confidence! What else?
Imo the cake song is saying that life is a piece of cake and we don't care if we are under fire or falling from a high height, ITZY will also be unbothered, keep going whatever they feel like, and enjoy life like we would enjoy a piece of cake.
Lyrics from Itzy songs have always deep meaning about self-confidence, not caring about what others say, and enjoying life the most.
For the guide, I personally prefer "A guide to Itzy: 2022 edition" but any guide would be perfect.
Thank you! I will make sure to check out the guides. I love ryujins attitude she gives off. I eat it up. I love the meaning behind itzy. It makes me have so much respect for them. I can tell they are super talented. I hope Lia comes back soon and stronger than ever! Thank you for the explanations I seriously appreciate it!
fun fact. they always do a crown at the end of their mvs
OKAY THIS MAKES SENSE NOW. Haha thank you. I was wondering.
Their message from the start has always been to love your self and girl power their debut song literally dalla dalla means different
Ohhhhhhh. That’s so nice. I love that for them. I definitely can feel the girl power behind it. And nothing is more important than loving yourself. So happy that’s what they have been based around. I think in society nowadays that’s so important to have.
Dalla dalla is theyr debut song. They have very powerfull dancebreaks and theyr choreo is hard on some of the songs. Itzy deserves more than what they get.
I had no idea at the time that dalla dalla was their debut song. But boy what a song to debut with!!
I think the main thing you need to know about ITZY is that the majority of their songs especially the title tracks are focused on self empowerment. Mafia might be the one that really doesn't fit in with that as much but its still a great song. The other thing you need to know about ITZY is they are performance queens on stage but goof balls in all the variety and behind the scenes content, utter chaos in the most fun ways.
I had to chance to get to know kpop thanks to ITZY. They are my favorite girl group. If it hadn't been for them, I wouldn't even be here.(you can watch a fan guide video to get to know them better)
I plan on it! They are your favorite girl group!? I’m excited to see more from them and learn their back story!
Bro ITZY is the absolute best
ITZY is queen of 4th gen ❤
In the Cake video the members are constantly having people take shots at them while they’re just trying to do their thing, (Performances, concerts, music videos) but they keep going. The video is basically saying do what makes you happy and if you ignore the hate people throw your way, it doesn’t really matter. At least that’s what I got.
That makes sense. I love that. I love cake so much lol. Even my kids know it 😅
@@SerenityReacts my 5 year old niece walks around singing “It’s none of my business, it’s none of my business” 🤣 My sister blames me for so much.
@@adventureswithcanyon hahahah YASSSSSSSS I love to hear it!! Makes my heart happy.
This was a shocker to seeing you posting this, and I was actually really hoping that you would react to ITZY so I'm glad u did. Thank you for this wonderful reaction!!💗💗
Thank you for watching it! I didn’t realize how much of itzy I did know 😅 but I’m super excited to get to know them more!! I saw they are touring in the states and was like ahhhhh I wanna go so bad.
@@SerenityReacts Also you were right Mischa did preform 'icy' by Itzy for the dance (stone) so did Camila. btw u should really check out the lyrics of all the songs for Itzy because their songs are very uplifting and always have something to do with self- love. I can't wait for part 2!
I will! Thank you for this comment. I was nervous about posting this video because I noticed I relaxed my face a bit because I got so wrapped in the videos and I got an L comment earlier so seeing this comment made me feel SO much better.
I’m a midzy since almost a year now and i’ve never regretted it, they’re exceptional, so talented and sooo kind, i had the chance to saw them in concert and i can tell you that they’re the same, so energetic, so pretty, as i said they’re also SOOO sweet🩷🩷
I’m so jelly. I really want to see them but I don’t have anyone to go with and I’m trying to save up to go see stray kids and vcha again so I probably shouldn’t 😩
@@SerenityReacts ohhh i hope u can see them, it’s really worth it🩷
@@nmitzyxx I may have to wait till next world tour 😩
ITZY !!!!! Queen of Performance🔥❤
they killed it! I'm so excited to see more.
Hi Serenity! ITZY is touring the US in June! I highly recommend going bc their live performances never disappoints! They were built to be a performance-focused group. I’ve seen them live 8x already and the energy in the venue each time is electric! ITZY’s stage presence and charisma is second to none!
I literally looked at the prices of the tickets last night! I’m trying to go see stray kids and vcha at lollapalooza in August so idk think I could swing both. 😩
1:46 Why not the music video of Wannabe? because, yes, the music video shows them turning a music box for the intro 😅
lol cause I’m an idiot and didn’t realize there was a mv and performance video 😅 I did it twice in this video and didn’t even realize.
@@SerenityReacts the music videos for all of these songs have really cool editing and storyline, for Not Shy, there are also some cutscenes and end scenes too!
@@velky_reeds I will go back and do another video watching the MVs!
thank you for checking them out! been stanning since debut and these girls never disappoint! they're so sweet and talented, please check out more of them!
Thank you for watching! I’ll definitely be watching more from itzy!
itzy 4th gen leader
my bias in ITZY was always been 🌸🌸✨✨chaeryeong 🌸🌸✨✨!!!
and lia 🌼🌼
I love ITZY they're so special to me because I started my Kpop journey with them, it seems like you're also drawn to Yeji who had the same effect on me lol I really enjoyed your reaction
Thank you! That’s so nice they were your first! I can see why! Yes yeji is definitely one of my biases.
ICY was performed on Nizi Project - one of my fav performance - Nina, Rima, Rio and Ririka
I feel like I need to go back and watch their performances.
Mako was a trainee with ITZY members.
So I’ve heard! That’s so neat to learn!
Cake is basically about not letting things get to you eat it up like a piece of Cake and make it easy peasy. If you notice many crazy things are happening to them but they try their best to go on. Also many show references to shows or memes and such mostly Korean though but for example Squid Games is one. Btw Itzy have many of these songs in english also, so check those out before a lyrics video.
Ooooo I’ll make sure to check them out! Thank you for explaining! Looking back at the MV that makes sense.
I love that we get to see you react to different K-pop groups!!! As always thank you for the great reactions Serenity 🥰
I needed this. Thank you 😩😩💕💕
Kpop’s representative performance masters😊
First of all, I love your smile when you react, and how you keep smiling throughout the reaction, it really represents me every time I watch Itzy, make sure you watch their guide video, im a multifan of gg but I love itzy the most😊

Thank you! And yes I plan on reacting to two guides later this week! 💕
Sounds like you already know several key points of their origin story. Adding to what you’ve already brought up…
* Yeji, Ryujin, and Chaeryeong were part of JYPE’s first organized female dance team, so yes, seems like they built their concept largely around strong dancers
* To ramp up awareness for future members, several were sent to participate on other shows. Yeji was a contestant on The Fan, Ryujin dominated 1st place on YG’s ill-fated Mixnine, and (strongly rumored central member but not part of the final line-up) Jeon Somi had been doing a bunch of variety shows after wrapping up as the 1st place winner of Produce 101 and being the center of project girl group I.O.I.
* (And prior to those shows, Chaeryeong and her sister Chaeyeon (later a member of Produce 48’s resulting group, IZ*ONE) were contestants on K-Pop Star as children. Then those two and Somi were contestants on Sixteen, the competition that formed Twice.)
* Lia was brought on as the Main Vocal, to fill in that gap from the Dance Team members.
* At some point, for whatever reason, Somi left JYPE to go free agent, ultimately signing with YG subsidiary TheBlackLabel. So maknae Yuna filled that vacant spot, making the final line-up.
WOW. Thats a lot. I didn't realize all of that. Im so jealous of all the knowledge you have! Chaeryeong was on sixteen?! woah. I guess I thought there was more of a time gap between the groups than what there really is. So if Yeji was a contestant somewhere else was she not a JYP trainee at that time? I was always under the impression that if you were a trainee you couldn't par take in other competitions?
Typically groups are put out halfway through the previous group's contract, so that a company always has a girl group or boy group going if the previous one disbands. Twice went a little long without a junior group.
Trainees going on other competition shows has become pretty common as a promotional tool. The general idea for these Produce shows (and their various follow-ups) resulting in short-term contracts is that after the Produce group is over, the members go back to their respective companies and are walking, talking...singing...dancing...billboards for whatever group get formed around them. Lesserafim and Ive are two current prime examples of this method at work.
There have even been some instances where members of existing, currently active groups join these competition programs. However, as you can guess, that typically only happens if their current group isn't already busy/popular, and their having to balance time between their original and project groups can wind up being a hindrance to original-group activities while the project group is active. The hope is that the original group can "tread water" while the one member gains popularity, then they can stage a big comeback in the more traditional, non-k-pop parlance.
@@dafunkk12 I had no idea. Thank you for clearing that up! That all makes sense. They stay so busy it seems.
Ryujin, Yeji, and Chaeryoung were trainees at the time and were in that Stray Kids survival video, back when JYP was deciding on either the boys or girls teams to debut. Chaeryoung was also in Sixteen and had a chance to become part of Twice, though she was very young then.
They are very known for their dance as you picked up on, but they are vocal solid as well. They do dance practices while singing live, usually names "stage practices". Good luck on your Itzy journey, can't wait til you get to NMIXX the newest group.
Thank you for that! I thought so. Nmixx is on my list as well! I promise I’ll get to them soon 💕
@@SerenityReacts No rush, you can take your time with Itzy and Twice content is endless. NMIXX music is very different, but they are vocally at the top of the industry, no joke.
@@insomnia5050 it’s record just have edit! 🫶🏼 yesssss indeed they are different. But different is good!
ITZY💖OT5 Forever💗👑
Smart!!
ITZY always gets a thumbs up. Thank You. I appreciate you. All the ITZY members were on Girls team 2 in episode one of Stray kids survival show, EXCEPT for Lia, she had only just joined JYPE a few months before that filmed and did not participate in that trainee showcase. Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna were all in the Stray kids show. Fun fact, had the girls team won at that time, ITZY would be straykids and stray kids would be ITZY ;)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
22:44 Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong & Yuna was in stray kids survival
누가 뭐라고 해도 Itzy는 퍼포먼스에 있어서는 케이팝 원탑입니다..
보컬의 실력이 뛰어난 보컬리스트는 아니지만, 안무를 하면서 라이브를 해내는 노력파이고 실력파입니다..
Lia의 얼굴을 보니 눈물이 나려고 하는데..ㅠ 얼른 다시 돌아와서 멋진 활동 보여주면 좋겠습니다..
Me too! Thank you for watching 🫶🏼
I got into Kpop from Blackpink, but Itzy secured my love of Kpop. Their performances are absolutely top tier, probably the best dancers/choreography of their generation. Visuals on point! Video editing is stellar. Their latest comeback was epic!
And the one you’re drawn to is my ult bias, Ryujin! 😍
Black pink was the first girl group I knew! I love and adore them. I could tell how talented itzy was. Especially since they have dance breaks in most of their songs. Their visuals are stellar. And I just generally love the sounds of their songs and the meaning behind the group itself.
@@SerenityReacts 100000% agree! you should react to their dance practices! they are always unreal!
Also dalla dalla featured in niziu project at regionals. It was the song where Mayuka got 3 cubes.
YES!!! Someone else commented this so i had to go rewatch it. So wholesome and full circle.
This song was also perfomed in niji project 1 team performance in which there is Rio Rima and Nina.
I'm sad that I've forgotten all of these! I just went a rewatched Nina and Mayuka's dalla dalla from part one and OH MY GOSH.
Everytime I listen to WANNABE, I hear Kendall in my head, going "Don't pretend to be someone I'M NOT!", and nailing the high note in full voice instead of falsetto.
Haha that’s fair!! I didn’t realize how many itzy songs they covered!
@@SerenityReacts Itzy are known for their high energy dance numbers, so that's why they're a popular choice amongst the A2K girls for dance evaluations
@@SomewhereElseForSomethingElse that makes sense. Knowing that now.
Hey Serenity! I don't know anything about Itzy, so I got nothing to comment, I'll just watch and like, lol. I remember that Itzy's "Icy" was one of the songs referenced in the rap part of NiziU's "Make You Happy".
So I didn’t realize but NiziU did a hand full of itzy songs in nizi project! I’m thinking of doing a stream and going back and rewatching the NiziU auditions and performances. I watched one earlier and was like WOAH.
Fun fact, Changbin and Chaeryeong are neighbors and they are best of friends!! They are literally close to each other thats why you would notice in tiktok dances they're the ones always partnered for a promo song 😂
OHHHHH. That indeed is a fun fact! That’s so neat!!
Real midyzs:watching the mv instead of the reaction 🤣😂
Haha I mean that’s totally okay. We watch together
@@SerenityReacts They never stated why though. What took me out a bit is all the Stray Kids and A2K references though I know of both vaguely I'm not very interested in them. So it feels a bit like taking one out of the Itzy immersion.
i love your reactionn
Thank you!
20:12 Mischa and Camilla did Icy for the Dance stone eval !
Yes at the end Mischa doing it came back to me! I just didn’t realize Camilla did it too! My memory is terrible.
For new to itzy lets do wannabe order who sing
Ryujin - Main Dancer,Main Rapper
Yeji - Lead Vocalist,Main Dancer,Lead Rapper
Yuna - Vocalist,Lead Rapper,Lead Dancer
Charyeong - Main Dancer,Vocalist,Lead Rapper
Lia - Main Vocalist
Thank you for this!
Itzyyyyy❤
I loved watching you react to one of my favorite groups. and I am glad to know that you enjoyed watching them! I just was hoping you would react their M/V not just the Performance Videos. Looking forward to your Part 2.
I did that on accident 🫣 MVs are posted!
@@SerenityReacts OMG, no worries at all, I just got done watching it on your channel! You're totally fine and definitely made up for it! Plus, Mafia: In the Morning is one of my favs!
@@darewreck0952 YAY! I can't wait to watch more. I saw that they are coming to the states in June I want to go soooooooooooo bad
@@SerenityReacts I'd love to see them, as they were the group that got back into K pop, I ran into them during a "keep one or the other" video that had a mixture of k pop and American pop songs. and the rest is history from there. lol I did manage to see Stray Kids in Cali last year though, very surreal, Glad I took a video or two to make sure I was imagining I was there. lol
You should turn the subtitles on cuz their lyrics are one of the major reasons their songs are loved!! Its so empowering and meaningful❤❤
Yes, I have been since this video as long as there is english subtitles
Left a like! I enjoyed your ITZY reactions!!! Thank you for exploring the girls' masterpieces!
Note: ITZY's main vocal-LIA was on hiatus due to anxiety. Let's hope she's doing very well on her recovery! 😊
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it. Yes I am praying she has quick recovery and comes back stronger than ever!
Another exciting journey ❤
💕
You definitely gotta check out Yeji's legendary cover of River in Studio Choom's Artist of the Month feature.
Is that part of the performance she does with hyunjin?
@@SerenityReacts yeah, she repeated part of the choreo for the cover... I guess it would be redundant to react to both videos.
@@sneakymickey2410 I’m sure it will be worth it to watch both though!
Yeji, Ryujin, Yuna and Chaeryeong are from the first ep of the survival show
Oh wow! I thought some were didn’t realize most of them was.
Hey Serenity! I've watched all your a2k reaction videos so its like a full circle moment to see you react to ITZYs debut (since Dalla Dalla was played in ALL the audition rounds 😄). I loved your reaction! Oh, to add a little bit more to the lore/origin story -- both Ryujin and Yuna appeared in the BTS love yourself highlight reel (which was how I started following ITZY...& fun fact: Camila from VCHA was featured in one of the BTS love yourself campaign videos as well). I'm honestly still waiting for an ITZY x VCHA interaction since I know they pass by each other in the JYPE hallways 🤞
First off. Thank you for your support 🫶🏼🫶🏼 and ikr!! After seeing itzy sing and dance dalla I was like wow. Was a full circle moment that was for me! BTS love yourself highlight reel. Hmmm and Camilla in the campaign I’ll have to go look this up! I’m absolutely clueless 😅 I’m waiting to see what other group vcha gets to collab with next!
Mako from Niziu trained with these members and it was rumored she was meant to debut with them.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?
@@SerenityReacts yeah 😂 there is a video online somewhere with her doing show cases with some of the members. But even in videos when ITZY and Niziu interact, the ITZY members are often joking around with Mako so they are definitely close.
@@Dandan-yn8fj interestinggggggg. Thanks for sharing!
I think the girl from the survival show you talked about with stray kids was Yeji
I can’t remember but I was thinking three of them are
WOW Much Reacts, Very Approve.
Itzy love 🇲🇽😍😍😍
Oooh, if you're just randomly exploring things adjacent to the JYP shows you've been watching, an unexpectedly fun idea might be to sample some of the actual songs and performances of JYP himself. Even if the music isn't for you, that stuff is pretty wildly absurd and fun, not to mention an amusing look into how the man weirdly sees himself. He's like a walking meme.
Lmao I’ve seen a few shorts of him. that’s actually not a bad idea.
@@SerenityReacts
If you want to start with something American-adjacent, you can check out “Fire,” the song he did with Conan O’Brien (yes, really) and Steven Yuen, with appearances from young Twice and Wonder Girls in their band era.
You seem to be just around the age to have heard the New Jack Swing trend growing up, so his duet with his protege Rain, “Switch to Me,” may tickle your nostalgia bone. This can be paired with Twice’s Dahyun & Chaeyoung’s parody version.
Then, there’s the essential “national anthem” of JYP Nation, “Don’t Leave Me.” This is the original song he wrote and auditioned at SM Entertainment with. And though they didn’t want to sign him as an idol, they did like the song enough to want to buy it from him. The course of k-pop history would’ve been radically different if he didn’t keep the song and gone into business for himself. You wanna talk about butterfly effects, BTS may never have come into existence if he and Bang Si-Hyuk never met and cranked out hits together.
I saw someone in the comments saying he/she doesn't like ur reaction but you react what it should be. You are neither overreacting nor too dull.
Thank you 🫶🏼😩
It was confirmed that after itzy world tour ,in the 4th quarter of 2024 itzy were going to do a comeback as ot5 as lia joining them soon, it was also rumered that they will do a 3rd world tour as 5 members ❤😊 , but it will be so much for them i hope they will first take a rest then do the world tour , hope for the best for our itzy gurls 💖👑
Ooooo. I do hope they rest and do it again as 5! That would be so nice and give me time to be able to attend a concert!
You don't remember Dalla Dalla and Icy being in the Nizi Project. Mayuka Nina and Rio did a great job.
Haha now that you say that, it’s coming back to me. I have the worst memory.
expanding your horizons... you should start with stray kids reality show
I've done one but haven't finished it! I'm terrible with my time LOL
@@SerenityReacts all members of Itzy, except for Lia, appeared on the Mnet reality show Stray Kids as a project group with the boy band that would later become Stray Kids
@@kinkin6864 okay that’s what I was thinking. I remember seeing the girl group there in what the first episode but I couldn’t remember faces really.
BACKSTORY/PRE-DEBUT ACTIVITIES
1. YEJI (Leader, Main Dancer): Yeji auditioned at JYP. She also participated in "The Fan" show by SBS. This is where her nickname "JYP's Hidden Weapon" started.
2. LIA (Main Vocal): She auditioned to SM Ent. first and she passed however she did not pursue her career there and auditioned in JYP as well and she passed.
3. RYUJIN (Center, Main Rapper): She got casted at a GOT7 concert. She just attended a concert but a staff spotted her and asked her number which she gave because the staff was cute 😂 Ryujin also competed in a survival show by JBTC "MIXNINE" and ranked #1 in female contestants. YG ceo Yang Hyunsuk wanted to steal her from JYP 😂
4. CHAERYEONG (Main Dancer): She, along with her sister Chaeyeon (who is a former iz*one member now a soloist) was casted by JYP through SBS' competition show "K-pop Star 3". Then she was part of JYP's survival show "SIXTEEN" where the TWICE members will be formed she came far but didn't make it to the final lineup.
5. YUNA (Visual, Maknae): Her sister is a BTOB fan and she accompanied her to KBS Gayo Daejun 2015 and there she got casted by a staff (just like Ryujin).
Funfacts in 2017
- RYUJIN and YUNA appeared in BTS' Love Yourself highlight reel and did mini acting there.
- The same year, all ITZY members except LIA appeared on the reality of MNET for Stray Kids.
There's a starter guide for ITZY but these things I mentioned weren't part of it and is a MIDZY knowledge level so I'd like to share it to you in case. Please do react on their starter guides the original one is "Unhelpful guide to ITZY" by ryujinies uploaded 3 years ago. They have good info, however it's kind of outdated so its your choice if you watch it or the other ones like from itzybean and kpop einsteinium (I suggest all of them lol) ❤
Haha who knows. Maybe I’ll watch all of them. I love hearing stories of idols being spotted at concerts. That’s so crazy to me. I need back stories of it lol. Thank you so much for all this information! I don’t know anything about the BTS love yourself reels but sounds like I need to check it out.
Though we now have the tradition of Twice doing an English-language single alongside their Korean title tracks, at the time A2K was filming, Itzy was already re-doing a bunch of their title tracks as English versions, making them prime candidates for the curated selection of audition songs. Now why everyone seemed to just be doing Dalla Dalla instead of others is a whole other question.
I might have mentioned it in response to your A2K reactions, but I was hoping to see more Wonder Girls songs on the show, since they had a whole bunch of English version and English-first songs during JYP’s very early “American invasion” in the aughts. (If you’ve encountered the name Sunmi in your k-pop travels, she was originally from that group.)
Ahhhh I see. I just didn’t realize how much itzys songs were used between A2K and Nizi project! Haha yes idk why everyone was only doing that dance but the beginning of dalla dalla is embedded in my head 😅
Itzy pt 2 plz...thanks
Yes very soon!! Just trying to get back into the rhythm of things. Got lots to catch up on and trying to find the time rn is a bit rough.
JYPE Supremacy ✊
The Western style probably has a lot to do with the styling of the official MV which portrays Itzy as a group of outlaws in a Quentin Tarantino style Desert Southwest heist movie.
I just went and watch the MV and yes. It makes sense now 😅
Lia is the memeber who's on hiatus for mental health issues, she's itzy's main vocalist, known for her angelic soothing voice, rich aura, like yeji she's the member with the duality like when she smiles she's the cutest but when she's not smiling she's someone, its just her facial expressions , I'm telling you about lia separately so that you know about her, she's the member who speak English fluently although all members can speak english now but not as fluent as lia, she's the English representative of the group because she lived in Canada for few years and she also studied in a British school in south korea, the comeback born to be itzy recently did as four but all the members have solo songs in it lia also have a solo song called blossom, it's so good , she also had three osts for kdramas, her osts :blue flower, one hundred love, always be your star,) these are really famous kdramas , even at the moment blue flower ost of lia recently surpaased 12 million streams on Spotify making her the only female idol of 4th generation to do so , i hope after itzy reactions you react to Lia ost blue flower 😊
I hope she comes back stronger than ever! I appreciate you telling me more about Lia! Do you know the names of the dramas??
@@SerenityReacts yes of course😊 , Blue flower from the drama Alchemy of souls, Always be your star from the drama The red sleeves, One hundred love from the drama Doctor romantic 3 , she also had a episode in Lee mujin service where she showed her vocals and talk about her if you really wanna see her you can see that episode it's episode 22 you will not disappointed after watching it ❤, I don't know if you notice or not but in my dp she's Lia she's my ultra bias 😊💖🦥
@@Julia21-s2e haha I was thinking she was your bias! Thank you so much for all that information! I’ll make sure to check it out!
for a guide to you react I recommend the " A GUIDE TO ITZY 2022 EDTION " it's the best one in my opinion :) since it's short compared to the twice one, is only 14 minutes i recommend for you to do two! that 2022 version and the " a somehow helpful guide to itzy member introduction 2023 "
Thank you! I’ll definitely watch these!
@@SerenityReacts I am sorry the Ryujines channel is the fandom endorsed best guide. Even though it was made in 2020. You can supplement that with the Itzybean guide
@@incheonguy if they aren't too long I may be able to just cover all three of them. I figured I would cover two of them anyways like how I did with Twice.
Lia is resting she will be back
I can't wait to see her return!
Yeji is her name the one you like
Yes, thank you! After this video I went and learned their names! Shes sooooooooooo pretty
Mesmerizing beauty
In the cake me you can see that they go through several dangerous situations such as falling and landing on a truck, being in a squid game like situation, being near lightning, having a car split in half, etc. however they are always okay. They got a lot of hate for sneakers and all of their following releases which I guess represents the dangerous situations, but the lyrics are telling us that we should stop and focus on ourselves instead of hating, and that it’s a piece of cake if you are indifferent. Talkers at least what I got out of it. But seriously they got so much hate and it affected Lia so much as they said she wasn’t a good enough dancer or singer which is absolutely false!
*cake mv not me
Stupid me also not talkers that lol
lol you’re not stupid! I’m the stupid one for thinking I was reacting to MVs but I was doing the performance videos 😅 thank you for the break down. I was kind of wondering if it was saying everything’s okay it’s a piece of cake. That does make the MV make more sense. I hate to hear that they’ve gotten so much hate and for what! I’ll never understand trolls. Like if you don’t have anything nice to say move on. And most haters don’t come near having the talents they do so why even talk about them. It hurts my heart to know there’s so much hate in this industry.
Is this JYPnation channel ? Not complaining , i love it 😂
😅🤣 not intentionally honestly. But I’ve been on the JYP train for a while now I’m almost nervous to upload another record label here 🤣🤣
Jyp groups never dissapoints and mostly the groups you reacted to from Jyp so I think you need react to nmixx. My recommendation: o.o(debut),dice,love me like this,run for roses,dash
No they don’t! I plan on reacting to nmixx really soon! Thank you for a list I appreciate it!
of course itzy songs were on nizi
Thats what I was thinking! My memory is terrible.
@@SerenityReacts you should recognize icy, dalla dalla
@@kinkin6864 lol I didn’t think I knew icy till the first beat dropped and I was like OHHHHH I know more itzy than I realized.
@@SerenityReacts you forgot that Rima, Nina, Rio, and Riria did Icy as well in Korea camp
@@kinkin6864 wow. Yes. My memory is absolute garbage.
I LOVE SEEING NEW MIDZYS 🥹❤ JOINING US , and i just got recommended this video on my feed so i am jumping on the journey, gonna subscribe ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! I’m super excited for this journey. I love the positivity behind them and they are just so talented.
I don’t know if you are aware but you are almost only watching performance videos not the official MV. Also most of the MVs have texting
YESSSSSS. No I didn’t realize. I’m an idiot lol. Imma go back and watch the MVs 😅
You need the cc eng sub on to understand cake
I’ve been trying to do it if it offers English
Thanks for the vid, as a fellow jyp group stan, I encourage you on this path. Also I suggest checking out nmixx too, they're itzy's and twice's junior
Nmixx is next on the list! I’ve been on the JYP train for a while I’m nervous to go elsewhere 😅🤣
@@SerenityReacts don't worry, I was like that at the start too. Just don't be afraid to try anything you're interested in, what matters is you love what you do 🫶
@@gen-seolyoona thank you for this! I do love doing this and I love the kpop journey I've been on so far! I love being able to talk to others who understand since I don't have any IRL friends who understand LOL
Why Dalla Dalla dance performance video ipo the original M/V?
Cause I’m an idiot and didn’t realize. I’m posting the MV reactions later today!
Wasian lady w kekeke
LMAO
Sorry, what is A2K?
A2K is a survival show JYP did with republic records in the states! The girl group formed from it is called Vcha!
@@SerenityReacts Thanks for explanation.
React to G idle pelase 🙏🏽
They are on my list!!
Is the other girl group NMixx, by any chance?
Possibly 🫣😊
@@SerenityReacts NMIXX Sullyoon was in the cake video as a secret guest. She's the one that hits the board Ryujin shoots at with the gun. Sullyoon is wearing a hat (see this video at 6:49,50).
@@RickyForITZY ooooo that’s so neat they did that!! I may or may not have checked out nmixx ln 🫣
OH NOOOOO.... Just so you know,... you were watching their "Preformance" videos. You should watch the ACTUAL MV to the songs. Wannabe, Dalla Dalla, Icy, Not Shy, were all preformance video.
When you watch the MV, you get close ups of the girls and some of them have their own set when they're singing solo. While the performance videos always shows the full group as if it were in a concert.
AND YOU NEED TO REACT TO "MAFIA IN THE MORNING" and also "RINGO" .... the MVs ofcourse.
Soooooo I didn’t realize it was the performance videos until I went to link them when I uploaded 😅 big oof on my part. I’ll probably go back a watch the actual MVs lol
@SerenityReacts yess please!!! And "MAFIA IN THE MORNING" is a must!
@@jaimeontiveros7684 yes for sure! Maybe I’ll do like a part 1.5 and go back and watch the MVs and add a couple new!
Next time watch the music videos . Don't forget the Japanese singles they have put out
I’m just an idiot and didn’t realize I didn’t watch the MVs 😅
@@SerenityReacts lol 😆
Mommy Milkers!😆
thats racist
TIMEOUT
@@SerenityReacts womp womp
i love itzy a lot but dont love your reaction
That's okay.
Did anyone ask @alitahmasebi1958
