4th generation · JYP Entertainment
イッチ / 있지
ITZY led with confidence rather than sweetness, and that decision shaped how fourth-generation girl groups were introduced afterwards.
Last updated:
Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna turn the message of the songs into shapes you remember, from the burst of DALLA DALLA to the shoulder move in WANNABE.
Start here if you want the self-assertion era of Korean girl groups stated as plainly as it ever got.

What anchors ITZY is that a message of self-affirmation and a memorable piece of choreography arrive as one thing. JYP Entertainment debuted the five-piece in February 2019 with DALLA DALLA, built strongly to show confidence and performing before cuteness, which makes them easy to describe as the way into fourth-generation girl groups. Rather than leaving it at a slogan, the group's method is to push the claim into a shape you remember, like the shoulder dance of WANNABE.
Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna make the claim of each song land immediately on screen: the burst of the debut on DALLA DALLA, the momentum of ICY, the shoulder dance that stands for WANNABE, the force of feeling in LOCO. Take the message from the music video, then move to the dance practice, and the formations and the strength of the individual dance lines come through in the round.
Through the brightness and grown-up feel of SNEAKERS and Cheshire and the hard performance direction of UNTOUCHABLE and GOLD, following to Girls Will Be Girls in 2025 shows where the five stand now and how they carry on as a dance group. DALLA DALLA, then WANNABE, then LOCO covers the declaration, the choreography that stands for them and the weight of the performing, in a few minutes.
Editors' take DALLA DALLA / WANNABE / LOCO — three songs cover a declaration of self-affirmation, a signature shoulder dance and the weight of the performing, in a JYP five-piece.
No. 30 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 14%)
The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
