Itzy (Korean: 있지; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment. The group consists of five members: Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna. They are recognized for their "teen crush" concept and for exploring themes of independence and self-love in their music.
Itzy debuted on February 12, 2019, with the single album It'z Different and its lead single "Dalla Dalla", which emerged as the best-performing girl group song of the year in South Korea. It peaked at number two on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart, the Billboard K-pop Hot 100, and the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart, while its music video set a new record for the most views in 24 hours for a K-pop debut. Later that year, Itzy became the first K-pop girl group in history to achieve a "Rookie Grand Slam", winning all five major Rookie of the Year awards.
Between 2019 and 2021, Itzy released four extended plays (EPs): It'z Icy, It'z Me, Not Shy, and Guess Who, each producing top-ten singles in South Korea, including "Icy", "Wannabe", "Not Shy", and "In the Morning". In 2021, they released their debut studio album Crazy in Love, which debuted at number 11 on the US Billboard 200. In 2022, their fifth EP, Checkmate, became their first to sell over one million copies and entered the Billboard 200 top ten, reaching number eight. Its lead single "Sneakers" rose to number five on the Circle Digital Chart and topped the Billboard South Korea Songs Chart. Following their Checkmate World Tour, the group released two more million-selling EPs: Cheshire (2022) and Kill My Doubt (2023).
Itzy made their official Japanese debut in 2022 with the singles "Voltage" and "Blah Blah Blah", both of which peaked at number three on the Oricon Singles Chart.
