With Yeji at 19 and the youngest, Yuna, at 16, the members all fall in the age where societal expectations go from being an abstract concept to an omnipresent force. When you’re coming of age, what you should do and what you want to do become two very different things — ITZY’s songs create a world where they can actually be the same. homage to home 1s They’re able to do that in large part by finding and enjoying who they are when the cameras are off. “Most of the members are different when they’re off camera,” Yuna says. “You can say that there’s a gap between the two images — we show off very charismatic performances on stage, but when we’re off stage, we act like other teenage girls. We like silly jokes, we chat a lot, we like delicious food, and we have a lot of fun. At the same time, we still try to always act with care.” homage to home 1s But that feeling of being examined, of being watched, has become a frequent motif in ITZY’s music videos. "Wannabe," released in March, shows Chaeryeong sitting in a factory surrounded by a line of pre-packaged clothes; drones start closing in on her. Later in the song, the group is more explicit about the constant policing of their lives, saying “Everybody’s teaching me/ all eyes on me/ Do this, do that, all are dishing out something.” In “Icy” — the “Wannabe” predecessor they describe as “cooler and brighter” — the public attention is almost intrusive. As they refute the idea that women should be nice and smiley (“I see that I’m icy…”), Lia catches looks as she walks into a diner decked out in a ball gown, while Ryujin attracts stares for showing up to an interview in pink hair, shorts, and metal-tinted boots. But they move through those spaces anyway, channeling a quiet sort of confidence. homage to home 1s It’s February 21, 2019, and the five members of ITZY are standing on the stage of one of the most popularmusic shows in KoreaM Countdown homage to home 1s
