While BTS and Tomorrow X Together, the ‘big hit sibling groups’, continue to do well overseas, ‘JYP sister groups’ TWICE and ITZY also started to attack the US and Japanese markets in earnest. As representative players of the 3rd and 4th generation K-pop, respectively, they will expand their activities to the world and lay the groundwork to further solidify their fandom. TWICE, occupying Japan and other Asian countries and building a fandom in the United States, will release their first English single ‘The Feels’ on the 1st of next month at 00:00 EST. The group ‘ITZY’, a ‘sister group’, will also officially debut in Japan on the 24th. Also, on the same day, at 00:00 EST in the US, the first full-length album ‘CRAZY IN LOVE’ will be released all over the world simultaneously. Earlier this month, the Japanese digital album ‘WHAT’z ITZY’, which contains hit songs such as ‘Dalla Dalla’, ‘IC’, ‘Wannabe’, ‘Not Shy’, and ‘Mafia in the Morning’, was released on the local official site.
As the ‘older sister’ Twice has already gained a sensational popularity in the country, the ‘younger sister’ Itzy is also raising expectations.
