Okay, real talk, izna truly ATE 2025, leaving no crumbs! 💅 This fierce group, born from Mnet’s ‘I-LAND2’ featuring the incredible Mai, Bang Jimin, Koko, Yoo Sarang, Choi Jungeun, and Jung Sebbi, literally had *three* comebacks last year. We’re talking ‘N/a’, ‘SIGN’, ‘BEEP’, and their latest mini-album ‘Not Just Pretty’ – each serving totally unique concepts and proving their limitless versatility and musical range. No cap, their growth is insane!
Before even hitting their first debut anniversary, izna hit over 100 MILLION cumulative streams on Spotify. And guess what? They snagged their first-ever terrestrial music show win on KBS2 ‘Music Bank’ in October. Talk about main character energy!
Now, they’re spilling the tea with OSEN for Seollal 2026, looking back at their wild ride in 2025. When asked to describe 2025, Choi Jungeun was like, ‘It was tough!’ Juggling three comebacks with different concepts? That’s a grind! But she feels they showed so many sides of themselves, making it a memorable year of hard work. Bang Jimin called it ‘Build-up,’ saying they grew with every comeback and are ready for even bigger things. Periodt!
And the iconic moments? Bang Jimin felt major pride for their Best Performance Award, because let’s be real, their killer performances are why so many of us became instant stans! Yoo Sarang still thinks about their MAMA stage – it was a pre-release even before debut, and this time, their dance break was just *chef’s kiss*! She’s so proud of how much they’ve grown in a year. Jung Sebbi fondly remembers their fan concert, a dream come true she’d mentioned in interviews – a super special stage just for them and their dedicated fans.
They even covered some legendary 2nd gen groups! Choi Jungeun loved performing Girls’ Generation’s ‘Genie’ (소원을 말해봐), because their tall members and long limbs truly *bodied* the choreography. Mai recalled Wonder Girls’ ‘Be My Baby’ for letting them perfectly showcase their physicality, styling, and overall stage presence. And Jung Sebbi had a blast with KARA’s ‘Pretty Girl’! She said it allowed them to naturally flash those sweet eye smiles, a total vibe shift from their cool ‘Mamma Mia’ era. Even in the cold, it was all smiles!
izna is truly cementing their global impact, and we’re just here to watch them slay even harder in 2026! ✨
