The group ITZY expressed confidence in their comeback as a whole.

On the 15th, ITZY held a meeting of the 9th mini album 'Gold' at the Grand Ballroom Hall of the Conrad Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul, and introduced the new report.

ITZY's comeback in the music industry is the first time in about nine months since its 8th mini-album 'Born to Be' in January. In particular, attention is being paid to making a comeback as a whole, including Lia, who has been suspended for health reasons. Lia suspended her activities in September last year, missing her previous work 'BonTube' and her world tour schedule.



First, Yeji "I'm happy to greet you with five people. I'm looking forward to it because it's a comeback I've worked hard on, and I'm excited." Lia said, "I think I was able to stand in a good way because the fans believed and waited. As it's been a long time since I showed you, I thought I should come back with a better and better prepared appearance, so I prepared hard. That's why I'm looking forward to it."

Based on the theme "Our World is still different", the new album 'Gold' contains the story and music of ITZY, which shines brightly like the name of the album. Chaeryeong chose each and every song carefully because it was a meaningful album. I think it's an album like a gift. "'Gold' is a shining album' introduced Shinbo.



Above all, it gives a new charm with a double title song, raising expectations. If Shinbo and the title song of the same name 'Gold' are powerful vocal shouting on the rock sound of an intense electric guitar is the listening point, another title song 'Imaginary Friend' maximizes the imagination of listeners with a luscious vocal harmony and emotional lyrics.

Yeji also "It's a new feeling because the five of us can gather again and show our charm to many people. We worked hard to prepare it because we wanted it to be an activity where we can all show our preparedness. I'm so happy to play good music with each charm that it's hard to decide on a title song,' he said, explaining why he chose the double title song.



Ryu Jin-eun "Imaginary Friend" is our first song that we want many people to listen to easily, and "Gold" is the music that ITZY has been doing and the performance is good. There are two differences", and Yuna seems to be able to show her rock form "'Gold", and 'Imaginary Friend' is a new song. It's a song that comes out when you think about ITZY's dreamy song. The difference between the two songs is pointed out.

It also revealed the difference in performance. Chaeryeong said "'Gold' is poured out from beginning to end, and 'Imaginary Friend' shows the level control with a pretty line."

The style is also something to pay attention to. Especially, Chaeryeong, who turned blonde, said, "As it's a new music genre, I decided to bleach my hair because I wanted to show you something that I've never shown before in terms of style."

As the album is called 'Gold', I wonder when ITZY thinks it will be a shining moment. Yuna said "I think there are so many moments when ITZY shines, but it's when we perform in front of MIDZY. The moment when MIDZY (official fan club) is touched shines while watching the performance and musical message combined with the five of them."

The modifier I want to get from this album is that Yeji "Thank you for talking about us with a good modifier, but the best thing I felt was "As expected, there is " I think our efforts have reached a lot of people because of that," he said 'I wanted to say.

Lastly, Lia said "There were times when I couldn't come back and be with you, but I also felt a lot of the meaning and strength of the members." It was very nice to meet you, and I think I went back to the beginning to match the name of this album, and Yeji thought she needed LIA's voice"It was meaningful once again to make a comeback as a whole group.

ITZY's new album 'Gold' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 15th.
