From a Rookie Grand Slam debut to first world tour with Checkmate

ITZY marked their first year in the K-Pop scene with a highly-successful debut through the single album, It’z Different, and the single, “Dalla Dalla”. Their debut year saw them take home rookie awards from different award-giving bodies, making them the first girl group to achieve a “Rookie Grand Slam”. Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna continued to exceed public expectations with their every release taking top positions in various charts in South Korea and abroad.

In 2022, they released their first Japanese single titled “Voltage” and came out with their fifth extended play in South Korea titled Checkmate, led by the single, “Sneakers”. In addition, this year saw the girl group embark on their first-ever world tour, Checkmate. The world tour kicked off in Seoul on August 6 and 7. They then extended the tour to North America with shows in Los Angeles and Phoenix in October.

ITZY will continue on the tour with concerts in Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, and New York City in November, before kicking off the Asia leg in the Philippines on January 14, 2023.

Aside from the Philippines, 2023 will also see ITZY on the concert stages of Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.
