ITZY's Lia Reflects on 7 Years with JYP Entertainment

On June 11, 2025, ITZY's Lia shared her thoughts on reaching the seven-year milestone since her debut, indirectly expressing her gratitude towards JYP Entertainment. In a recent video on the YouTube channel 'Yongtaro,' titled 'What’s the Result of ITZY Lia’s Tarot Reading, Excluding Friends?', Lia appeared solo to discuss her current state and the team dynamics with MC Lee Yong-jin while engaging in a tarot reading.

Lee Yong-jin commented on the cards Lia drew, stating, "ITZY is a team with excellent teamwork. There are no rough edges, and conflicts do not hinder our work. This allows us to exceed expectations."

Lia responded, "It’s hard to believe it’s already been seven years, but I’ve realized a lot while preparing for this album." She mentioned that the trailer for their latest album was filmed overseas, which was challenging but ultimately satisfying. "We appreciate the efforts of our company as they truly work hard for us. It was a grateful experience," she added.

Lee Yong-jin praised Lia’s mature perspective, noting that after about ten years in the industry, one realizes that success is not achieved alone. Lia also shared insights about the team atmosphere, saying, "While there are times when we are sensitive to each other's feelings, we don’t have major fights. Everyone is a bit gentle, so we avoid conflicts," highlighting their strong bond.

Meanwhile, ITZY has made a comeback with their new album 'Girls Will Be Girls.' As they celebrate their sixth anniversary this year, discussions about contract renewals have emerged as they approach the critical 'seven-year mark.' In a recent press conference, member Chaeryeong candidly stated, "We are discussing contract renewals with the company. We hope to share good news soon."
