Itzy is one of the girl groups that I really like. I find that, musically speaking, they are quite solid. Their mini albums are rather good, with quite varied tracks. I think they represent well this new generation of KPOP who want to command respect with their art. I really liked that they debuted with songs like Dalla Dalla, Icy, and Wannaba, which talks about being yourself. It is really an important message and the fact that artists do it is touching.
