DAVIDE K-POP

Hey MIDZY! Let’s rewind to the night of April 24th, 2024, when ITZY lit up London’s OVO Wembley Arena with an electrifying performance that left MIDZY in awe.

Introducing the powerhouse girl group ITZY, comprised of the dynamic talents of Yeji, Yuna, Ryujin, and Chaeryeong. But where’s Lia, you ask? Lia is currently taking deserved break, but her presence was certainly felt as her fellow members delivered a show-stopping performance in her absence and shared some memories with her on stage.

From their explosive debut with “DALLA DALLA” in 2019 to their latest chart-topping mini-album “BORN TO BE,” ITZY has been on a meteoric rise, captivating audiences worldwide with their bold message of self-love and confidence.

Fast forward to the 24th of April, 2024, and ITZY took the stage in London with their 2nd World Tour ‘Born To Be’. But what set this performance apart? For the first time ever, ITZY was accompanied by a live band, adding a whole new layer of excitement and energy to their already dynamic stage presence. And let me tell you, it made all the difference. The synergy between the girls and the band elevated every song, giving them a fresh, rock-inspired flavor that had the crowd on their feet from start to finish.

The excitement was palpable as ITZY kicked off the show with a bang, treating the audience to a setlist that showcased their growth and versatility. Hits like “BORN TO BE,” “RACER,” and “KIDDING ME” had the venue pulsating with energy.

But it wasn’t just about the music – ITZY took the time to connect with their fans, sharing their excitement about performing with a live band for the first time and expressing their gratitude for the love and support they’ve received. They also shared their fondness for Harry Potter, infusing the evening with an extra dose of magic and charm.

Costume changes, solo performances, and mesmerising choreography kept the audience on the edge of their seats throughout the night.
Chaeryeong mesmerised with “Mine,” using mirrors to enhance her captivating choreography. Ryujin brought rock vibes with “Run Away,” commanding the stage with her electrifying performance.
Yuna charmed with “Yet, but,” delivering an enchanting and kawaii solo concept. And Yeji stunned with “Crown on My Head,” showcasing her amazing vocals and impeccable choreography. Each solo was a standout moment, highlighting the unique talents of each member while reinforcing ITZY’s collective brilliance.

The highlight of the night? Without a doubt, it was the sensational performance of “LOCO,” which left the crowd in awe with its electrifying energy and rock-inspired twist. This was my personal favourite. Following “LOCO,” ITZY continued to captivate with hits like “Not Shy,” which kept the energy levels soaring, and then seamlessly transitioned into fan favorites like “CAKE,” “SNEAKERS,” and “Kill Shot.” Each song brought its own unique flavor to the performance, showcasing ITZY’s versatility and ability to command the stage with their infectious charisma and undeniable talent.

And let’s not forget the unforgettable fan cam moment, where MIDZY showcased their dance moves and stole the spotlight.

As the night came to a close, ITZY delivered a heartfelt encore, culminating in a special message from each member. Yuna’s personal connection to London made the moment even more touching, reminding us of the bond between the group and their fans.

Overall, ITZY’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, a testament to their hard work, dedication, and undeniable talent. ITZY’s performance in London was nothing short of a Coachella-worthy spectacle. From the electrifying energy to the seamless blend of music and visuals, it was a show that could easily rival any headline act at Coachella.

Huge thanks to JYP for inviting me to witness this unforgettable night – here’s to many more incredible performances from ITZY in the future!
