K-pop girl group ITZY has ramped up excitement for their first comeback in eight months by unveiling the music video teaser and concept photos for their new title track, “Girls Will Be Girls.”
The five-member group is set to drop their new mini album, also titled “Girls Will Be Girls,” on Monday at 6 p.m.
Leading up to the release, ITZY has been unveiling a variety of teaser content — including a trailer, promotional scheduler, concept photos and tracklist — through JYP Entertainment’s official social media channels.
At midnight on Wednesday, the music video teaser and new stills were revealed for the first time.
The teaser features cinematic visuals paired with a narration by member Lia: “Somebody said ‘Be yourselves.’ So that’s what we did."
It follows the members as they confront unknown dangers in dramatic fashion: Lia runs through a mysterious location, Yuna appears with a scar under one eye, Ryujin shows a solemn gaze, Yeji performs in a high-octane car chase and Chaeryeong draws a crossbow.
