💃🎤 ITZY in MADRID 🔥🤩

ITZY 🤫 in MADRID 🎢

Empowerment and 100% energy. A highly underrated group that deserves all the support in the world.

At the start of this year, ITZY announced a world tour. Excitement buzzed everywhere as fans anticipated numerous stops, and Spanish MIDZYs were particularly eager, hoping they could finally enjoy the girls performing in their country. Although months earlier CHAERYEONG had dropped a spoiler, hinting they’d visit places they’d never been before, the suspense lingered in the air.

Finally, Madrid was crowned as one of their European tour stops. Overwhelmed with happiness, I geared up to secure good tickets to see the girls. It wasn’t easy, but I managed to snag the ticket I wanted.

On the day of the concert, I arrived, as always, a little over an hour before it began. The best part of this concert was scoring a numbered seat in the standing section, which is something I love because it makes for a much more relaxed and comfortable experience. As I entered the venue and found my seat, I realized everything had been worth it. I had chosen well and was certain I was about to have an incredible time with ITZY.

The soundcheck was amazing. The girls radiated an overwhelming natural charisma, making it truly memorable. They took their time greeting and playing with the boldest MIDZYs. I managed to take some awesome photos that I love. Honestly, soundchecks are so worth it if you have the chance to attend.

And then came the concert. It’s clear to me that their latest release, the album BORN TO BE, was designed with a world tour in mind. That Y2K-style intro with "BORN TO BE" was absolutely insane. The energy, the power, and the party vibe that song brought were simply mind-blowing. The setlist included fantastic B-sides like "RACER," "KIDDING ME," "Kill Shot," "ESCALATOR," and "Boys Like You."

Of course, their most iconic tracks weren’t left out. There was "SWIPE," one of my favorite group choreographies, which was pure magic. "WANNABE" had me in tears, experiencing live one of the songs that brought me to where I am today. "LOCO" was a must-sing moment in Spain, thanks to its catchy chorus and vibrant choreography. The entire venue shouted their hearts out for "Not Shy," embracing the anthem without a hint of shyness. The fun with "CAKE" was off the charts—it’s one of their most energetic songs for me. And of course, "SNEAKERS," though controversial, remains a song I love; it’s a fantastic experiment with a different sound for ITZY.

I also have to say I adored the four solo performances. Each solo song for this tour was a brilliant choice, perfectly capturing the charisma and personality of each member. YEJI reigned supreme with "Crown On My Head," proving herself a true goddess who has worked incredibly hard to stand where she is. RYUJIN delivered her powerful personality and bold style with "Run Away." CHAERYEONG showcased her breathtaking dance skills and natural stage presence with "Mine," one of my favorite solo rhythms. And YUNA delighted everyone with "Yes, but," a cheerful, fun track that radiates the essence of the maknae with ease. Special mention goes to LIA’s hit with "Blossom," which is an incredible song.

And, as I always say, ending with the song with which they debuted is the best possible ending to a concert. "DALLA DALLA" filled the Palacio Vista Alegre with energy and happiness, making for the perfect farewell to a wonderful concert.

The energy these girls radiate is unmatched.

An amazing concert in every sense. I hope to experience it again in the future with the full group.

ITZY lit up the night in Madrid and promised to return in the future with LIA. 💖

We'll be there to give them all our support. 🐱✨
