Lia expressing everything, knowing all the hate she gets, admitting she's"not that good" hurts me A LOT. Let's show Lia our ENORMOUS amount of love for her and let her know she's always doing GREAT. And haters please leave her alone I'm begging you :')

I cried at Chaeryeong's words: "I just want to hug them...I'm not singing this song because I'm confident and self assured, all I know is I want to give off the right energy to others ". She is so relatable, but also sincerely worried for midzys. We don't deserve her

Lia gifting yeji a diary because yeji doesnt know how to express her feelings well is the most sweetest thing ever

Lia is so good with her words.. i mean everyone in Itzy is so eloquent. so mature although still in their teenage years..😭

Chaeryoung's story was so sad. She didn't want to publicly address the fact that she was hurt by the mean comments so Midtzy's wouldn't worry.

When Chaeryeong said that she felt the sad about the people commenting “must be nice to be beautiful” because she felt the same too make my tears burst out😭😭 girl, you are beautiful in many ways, we midzy all love you just the way you are😭😭

What Ryujin said is sadly so true. They say "it's so good for a girl group" as if they were expecting less just because they're girls. It's not a complament, it just shows us the huge prejudice towards women. Ryujin is a visionary and i hope the young girls in korea see this and we can build a society with less misogyny.

Honestly, Ryujin's topic hits so hard. Not only for Koreans and kpop fans internationally but also for adults and non kpop fans. Ryujin promoting gender equality and justifying body shaming. She is so brave to speak out even though she's still young and the topic is too sensitive for everyone.

I honestly think that Chaeryeong is pretty. And the fact that she is so kind, innocent and talented makes her beautiful. She is not only pretty but beautiful.

To ITZY, Yeji, you don't see it in yourself, but you were meant to be the leader. You have the innate ability, so trust yourself! I've seen that power within you all along. You're the heart and soul of Itzy. Lia, you're improving every day, you keep up with the fast pace of being an idol, and you are not falling behind the others! You stand by their side, always. Ryujin, you're an amazing and strong woman. You are the one who will prove to everyone that female idols can do anything. You are important and powerful! Chaeryeong, you ARE beautiful, but you don't realize how you brighten up the room. Your heart is even prettier, and we cherish you! You are our light. Yuna, you are growing up so well, and we only care about seeing you be yourself and living happily! Do whatever your heart desires, without burdening your heart or mind with what others think. We love your smile the most! Love, A Midzy~

" time passes by no matter what; in that sense time is reliable" LIA IS SO MATURE AND WISE AND STRONG. I respect her so so much.

Lia sounds like she has a very mature and wise understanding of the world. I’m glad she’s doing better now. She endured it and came out stronger.

Ryujin standing up for females is what the industry really needed. I dont see like how can you ever compare a male group and a female group. Theyre both their own things. And honestly hats off to JYP for letting ITZY do this.

Maybe bcs chaeryeong is my bias, but her words hit the most to me. To me she’s one of the most beautiful idols not just in looks but her whole being. Her personality is so humble and the way she carries herself is so graceful. Literally not enough words in the world to describe how precious she is

"i wish i had more life experiences so this could be easier." yuna sounds so mature but that's what worries me. it's so easy to forget she's a literal child when this all started. at 15, do you really know who you are and what you want and how to deflect external criticism? I hope she and all of them really have time to think about themselves outside of this kpop bubble.

I love how they openly expressed their feelings. They're not shy to express their feelings, their worries, their insecurities. They're just rookies but they're struggling a lot because of the hates, expectations and standard of the people. I hope people will realized that they are humans too, they have feelings too and they're not robots who you can controlled or reprogrammed when you wished.I'm proud to be part of the family, to be midzy. I'm proud of itzy!! Accepting your flaws and imperfection will be the key to love yourself. Be confident on what you have. Don't let others dictate or controlled you. Just be you.

I feel really sad hearing Lia statement about herself.. I mean why people hate her bcuz she has a different style of dancing ? She is ITZY because she's talented like the rest of the members.. please stop criticizing her talent, its not easy to debut as a girlgroup..

I cried when Chaeryeong started crying, just like her, I've always received hate comments about my looks... Since I was a child, people would say that I'm ugly and too skinny and stuff like that. I've been carrying those scars by myself, so I also relate to Yeji. Since I was young, I keep my secrets to myself and I don't really speak up to no one. Not because I don't want to, the feeling that expressing my thoughts makes me weak keeps chasing me. But I want to allow myself to cry, I want to allow myself to be sad because I'm a human too. But I just can't...

Please stop hating ITZY especially Lia and Chaeryeong.Being rich has nothing to do why Lia became an ITZY member.She worked hard for it so she deserved it.She's not only working hard to secure her future and for her family but she's also working hard to appreciate her efforts she puts in every pefromances.She wants to show that she can dance and also she can sing.Good job Lia for always giving us an amazing performance.Stay Happy and Healthy Lia💜💜💜. Chaeryeong,it's okay if some people didn't like you.Accept yourself and you will see that you don't need them and their selfish ideas.You're not only beautiful but also you're kind.Fight with ITZY,Dream with ITZY and laugh with ITZY❤️❤️❤️.Be confident and keep fighting.Thank you ITZY for giving us a reason to smile and for giving us an amazing music and perfromances.ITZY fighting!!!💜💜💜

Lia: “Trying to be ITZY is hard...” You don’t have to try 🥺 You already are ITZY’s Lia, you’re doing really well and you’re improving a lot, so don’t overwork yourself, Lia. Don’t let people’s negativity get through you. If they shame you for your weight, to midzys, it doesn’t really matter. Please, eat more, we want you to be healthy. ❤️ But even if you’re not the best performer, you improve really well so just be happy, us Midzy’s want you to know that we really really REALLY love you. Queen Lia, fighting! 👑✨

This is heartbreaking to watch, the girls are human too, their feelings can get hurt, people seem to forget that

Im watching this in 2024.. and im crying again 😭 The girls really went through a lot. They usually smile in front of us but we never know what they went through behind the camera.

Lia might be my favorite idol. She’s so weird and goofy but she’s also just so normal. She speaks so open to the world. Its so refreshing to hear an idol speak about their shortcomings and desires aside from just being pressured during debut. Love you Jisoo and I am so proud of how much you’ve grown and continue to dominate.

Lia don't deserve the hates she receives she's trying her best as she can I hope many people can see that I LOVE YOU LIA

It is heart breaking when Yuna said "SHE NEEDS TO BE PERFECT" "SHE WANTS TO EXPRESS HERSELF BUT JUST BEING STOCK IN THE BOX FILLED WITH THOUGHTS" "YOU DONT NEED APPROVAL TRUST YOURSELF" and yes I've bursted into tears:((((( ITZY NEEDS TO BE APPRECIATED˖♡

리아양이 한말이 무척 공감이 간다 시간을 버틴다는건 그 안에 말로는 다 담지못하는 감정과 노력이 녹아드는 것 앞으로도 자신을 믿고 묵묵히 걸어가다보면 가수로써도 최지수라는 한 사람으로써도 더 성장할거라고 믿어요 멋져요 지금도 충분히

everything that ryujin said hit so close to home. ryujinie im so proud of you, we're all behind you at all times. i love these girls so much

:((( Lia is such a good dancer and the fact that she can keep up with people that trained for longer and specialised in dance is incredible!! i hope as time goes on she becomes even more confident in her dance ability as she has improved so much since debut!!💖

*I'm definitely not alone in saying I'm a proud MIDZY*

i felt especially touched from lia's and chaeryeong's. their maturity and vulnerability is so admirable and i hope they know they are so appreciated. itzy is really opening doors in the kpop industry with this video im so proud of them :')

every member has their own worries. lia feels left out because of her dancing and unworthy of all the success they gained yeji feels overburdened with the responsiblity of a leader and bottling up emotions chaeryeong has to suffer malicious comments and a lot of mocking since a VERY young age, affecting her confidence ryujin exposed the double standard in kpop. there are def enough clothing for chubbier people, the kpop industry does not lack money, but they chose not to bring those outfits out, instead making idols slimmer to fit in tiny shirts, dresses and shorts. plus, boy groups are viewed much more highly. they are expected to have difficult choreo, while girl groups are expected to just do some random choreo and “be pretty” yuna finds it difficult to deal with her feelings because 1. she is young, she needs some guidance, but 2. she is so successful that others around her feel like she is too privileged already, no need for help but they held on together and remained as itzy - the itzy that brings energy to the audience through their performances, the itzy that brings joy and power to midzy they are precious

“I have to allow _myself_ to agree with my _own_ emotions.” That was deep. Something that not usually come out from 17 years old girl. Yuna, I’m so proud of you.

It’s really sad to see this because idols are humans. People are so quick to judge and criticize them if something’s not perfect. as midzys, let’s do our best to protect this girls!

채령이 정말... 착한게 눈에 보임 ㅠㅠㅠ 목소리도 너무 애기 같은데 이런 애한테 악플 다는사람들 진짜 그러지 맙시다 ㅠㅠㅠ 마음에 안들면 그냥 생각ㅇ로만 하세요 악플 달지 말고 ㅠㅠㅠ

ステージの上の彼女たちも、彼女たちの一面であって、このインタビューの中の彼女たちもまた、彼女たちの一面なんだと思う。 どっちが本当とか、虚像とかではなく、どっちの面も存在していることで、他方により深みや輝きを与えるものだと思う。 そして私は色んな面を見ることで、彼女たちがますます好きになる…

Lia is secretly addressing the “lazy dancer” bash, she is saying I’m not like that anymore -Midzy loves you all

I feel so bad for Lia because she said she doesn’t feel happy even when they win awards because she feels guilt as if she did something wrong 🥺🥺 noooo you are doing amazing keep fighting 🥺🥺

Chaeryeong and lia's part hits right into my heart!! All members thoughts are so relatable....it inspires me so much, it gives me feeling like I am not the only one who is struggling mentally and physically but there are so many people, so we should just keep going!! And they all are of same age as mine, so I felt connected so much!! Thankyou Itzy for inspiring all of us!

저렇게 내 입으로 내가 못한다고 말하는게 아무렇지않게 웃으면서 말해도 너무 마음아픔 항상 잘하고 잘하는 사람으로 보이고 싶은데 나조차 그렇게 내 자신을 못 봐주는것 같아서 더 속상하고

Lia worked so hard to get where she is, and yet haters say “she got in cuz she’s rich” and “isn’t talented” and “isn’t pretty”. Because of these comments, Lia has worked herself to DEATH. She tried losing weight, and you can see in the dance videos how much weight she lost. It’s not healthy, and neither is the mentality that “she’s not good enough”. People just need to SHUT UP and appreciate how much work she puts in to get where she is now. #helplia

That was the best extra content video any kpop group has ever done. Bravo girls. Love this.

can we also talk about ryujin? how she addressed the sexism in the industry and how gg are treated as just pretty faces with thin bodies. i respect her so much for this.

so brave of Ryujin to talk about it , everyone should appreciate her , we need more people to talk about it

You know what's harder for these girls? They were shown to the world like polished diamonds. The moment we saw them the first time on stage, we knew they were going to be so successful because they were already very good. So everytime they come up with something new, whether it's a new album, a new MV, a new dance practice video, a new performance, people expect that they're going to be as good or even better than the last time. I can't imagine the amount of pressure they're carrying everyday. Despite that, despite everything, despite all these struggles they just shared with us in this video, they keep giving their all and that's what makes me want to keep supporting them. Let's protect these girls at all costs and give them what they deserve, midzys.

Itzy expressing themselves is really admirable, it doesn't feel like they are trying to make some kind of victim but trying to be closest to Midzy and let us now how they feel. It makes me think that they want us to know that even when they are struggling they'll do their best. Trying to be honest to us and trying to say to us that we should do the same, we are not alone, Itzy is not alone. ITZY! MIDZY! 💞💞💞 Edit after watching all the video: Thanks for the likes tho, I hope y'all can see Itzy as something more than idols. I started crying after Chaeryeong's speech, when she said that she knows that not everyone will identify with the behavior of their lyrics songs, that she is not like the lyrics either but want to people feel as free as the lyrics that was really touching. I can relate with everyone's speach Did you notice that most of the members they don't feel "Enough" to be "Itzy" As if itzy was a standard, girls... You are ITZY no matter what, the members are the one that makes itzy be itzy.

Sometimes, I like coming back here to see these girls talk openly talk about their difficulties and struggles because it reminds me that even the people I admire most in the world can fail and make mistakes. It's comforting seeing that comparison because it reminds me that I can make mistakes too, and I shouldn't put too much pressure on myself to be "perfect". Thank you ITZY xxx

I am here again after Itzy's performance in SBS and the amount of hate towards Lia. I am begging you, please dont make her feel like this again. Dont play with people. Your one short sentece, may be the reason of a really bad thing Lia will do to herself. Both physical and psychological. Protect her please

I think we forget how young Yuna is because when she speaks she speaks like a grown up. I feel for her that she thinks that she has to be grown when in reality she’s still a kid and wants to act like one.

Not Shy is really a special era for me. Even their other songs are also implying about being you and being confident, the fact that they’ve opened about their struggles makes it more special. I love you!

itzyのリアさんへ 一年前の動画だから、見てくれるから分からないけど、僕もLiaさんのように周りの凄さに圧倒されて生きていく生活に大きな不安と重圧に襲われています。でも、この動画を見て、苦しんでいるのは僕だけじゃないんだと、勝手ながら安心しました。Liaさん頑張ってください！itzyのファンとして、陰ながら応援しています！

彼女たちを傷つけてしまう言葉が目につかないくらい幸せな言葉で溢れさせたいってつくづく思う。いつまでも韓国語話したり、ハングルでつまづいてる場合じゃないと思いました。 早く会いたいです。本当に好きになりました。応援してます。

Ryujin's opinion is worthy for everyone to thinking. She is like a philosopher. And hope she could keep thinking but relaxing. Don't push herself into a stressful situation.

JYPEEEEEEEEEEEEE give them the creative freedom to sing about what they really feel

日本デビューが決まってついまた見に来ちゃった、日本にITZYの魅力が伝わると思うと嬉しいけれど表面上だけじゃなく、こういう彼女達自身のことを見てほしいとも思う。 言語の壁は少なからずあると思うけれど、日本のMIDZYはITZYみんなのことが大好きだし抱きしめてあげたいと思ってる！

"Some people are just really mean..."

They're the best monster rookies, they're not pretending who they are on cam or off cam. They speak for the truth, they are very kind and talented. Support ITZY forever until it's not over

ryujin calling out misogyny in the industry she’s so cool, amazing woman

채령아 이 댓글을 읽을지 모르겠지만 너무 여린성격에 상처도 잘받고 맘 약한거 보여 그래도 너라는 존재가 다른 모든 수십명 수백명 아니 수백만명에게 긍정적인걸 보여주는거 같애 항상 응원하고있어!!!

they're so young yet so mature and wise and really doing their best for us Midzys, I'm so thankful for them

When you improved so much but still getting a lot of hate, I wish people would see and appreciate how Lia and Chae improved so much for this comeback.

Don’t you haters realize Lia has lost so much weight because of the hate she gets? Don’t you haters realize Lia probably works harder than she’s supposed to? Don’t you haters realize Lia is putting on a fake smile? If you can’t respect her an idol, respect her as a human.

What Ryujin said really hit hard. It's a very important and powerful message the same as Lia, Chaeryeong, and Yuna's messages. Made me realise a lot of things. I'm so proud of them.

初めてMVを見た瞬間からITZYというグループに魅了されました。 性別とか国籍とか関係なく、ただただ本当にかっこいいです。大好きです。

i don’t see a lot of comments talking about what Ryujin said, so i’ll do it. she’s right, you know. i’m more of a boy group stan than a girl group, but it honestly perplexes me when people compliments girl group by saying things like “this choreography looks like a boy group’s choreography”, “you dance good for a girl group”, “your performance doesn’t look like a girl group’s performance at all”. i get that boy group’s choreography and performance are typically more taxing, but compliments like that doesn’t feel like compliments at all. it just felt like all the “i’m not like other girls” bullshit. when you say things that ends with “....for a girl”, that’s not a compliment at all. you just indirectly put girls with other girls on a competition no one agree with. if it’s something that mostly males do, like “you weightlift well for a girl”, i might let that slide. but if you say “you dance well for a girl”, i simply can’t vibe with that. both males and females can dance well, and you giving those kind of compliments to ITZY just indirectly insults other girl groups, and maybe even the ITZY girls themselves. double standards exist in Kpop, whether you like it or not, both with males and females. males can suffer through things that females won’t, and females can struggle through things that males don’t. but we can make those standards disappear. we can stop saying things like that, stop giving backhanded compliments. we can start saying things genuinely, and thinking of our words carefully before posting them. just please, think about Ryujin’s words carefully, and reflect on them. she’s right, and we all know it.

This was so vulnerable and honest, I’m really proud of them.

ただただシンプルに抱きしめてあげたくなるよね…。華やかな世界ではない。暗く重く辛い世界…。こんなにも若い女性たちが身と心を削って生きている。ファンのために。アンチする人間たちがいなくなればいいのに。

"holding on carries a big meaning for me" "not losing means you're already winning, right?" "time is reliable, to the least" God- this is why i love lia

Let's be honest- they are just in their early 20s and even 3 of them are not 20 yet... but they have to suffer a lot. you only need 5mins to hurt somebody with your words, but they have to spend 5 hours, even 5 days to think about it. I hope people on the internet could realise that and change their behaviour. Fighting Itzy.

no girl group has ever really talked about these things openly like haters or being a powerful girl group just because they can be and not just powerful "for a girl group" etc. they are so amazing and the only gg imo that actually try to promote and push the message of their songs and not just go with it every time because it's "a new era" or because it's "a new concept". they're so real. red velvet and itzy are my favorite girl groups for that reason, because they're so real on and off stage!! edit: i LOVED the points ryujin brought up and i love that she knows her worth, their worth, and that girl groups can do anything. also chaeryoung prettiest girl, i love her, she's beautiful inside and out.

リアは耐えたってより頑張ったよね。つらいときもファンの前でちゃんと笑ってくれてITZYのリアとして踊って歌ってくれて、頑張ったね

チェリョンちゃんの言葉で感極まった。 チェリョンちゃんの笑顔可愛らしくて、すごく大好きだよ。 これからも応援します。

I’m happy that jyp let them release this video where they express their emotions and thoughts. We don’t know a lot about our idols lifes, yet we keep judging or throwing hate. They train so hard when they’re only children, and expect to be happy after debut, but then there are so many things that make them sad. I already find it too much the fact that idols need to dance when singing, and we have the audacity to judge their ability when we watch them while laying in bed all day. We want them to be pretty/ handsome, have good bodies, and also smile everytime. So we know that there are lots of international fans, which while they listen to western pop, they try to enjoy the music, but when it comes to kpop, we have learned from knets and companies to focus too much on other aspects as well. Also some immature fans would throw hate at other groups, try bring them down. Why cant you just be a multistan; try to enjoy different genres and individuals/ groups, and if you don’t like smth/ s.o just leave. Why would you say bad comments? To make you feel good?! Just i want to tell everyone, no matter whose fan you are, be respectful and also thoughtful for others feelings. These idols who have been giving everything from a young age, aren’t even allowed to date or be happy. Also i know that lots of us pay too much attention to other ppls expectations but later on you’ll realise that no one actually cares for you and you’re all that is left to yourself

This made me cry. People are forgetting that they are only 20, 19 and 16. They don’t deserve all of the hate that they are getting. I just want to give them a hug and say everything is going to be okay.🤧 To ITZY, You may not know but, I want to say thanks for being there for me through your music. I just wish that I or at least someone would be there for you ladies. Fighting and saranghae ❤️💜

歌やダンスの練習の辛さに耐えることはきっと成長に繋がるけど、誹謗中傷に耐えることは自分の精神を削るだけだから 絶対に無理しないでほしい

本当にいい子達だ、、 一番キラキラした道だけ歩いて欲しい。。🥺 変なノイズ音とか聞こえないくらい大きい声でサランへ叫びたい😭

I love what ryujin was saying about how people degrade their performances because they are girls.

Why is no one talking about chaeryeong,it hurts to see her like this Chaeryeong midzy loves you ! (Guys I didn't mean It like that you guys think , I'm sorry for the "why is nobody talking about..",I just wanted to say that

"some people are just really mean"... You deserve better chaeryeong! Fighting!!

리아님 버틴다는게 그 무엇보다 강하다는 반증이에요. 포기하지 않고 계속 노력하며 이겨내가는 그 모습, 많은 팬들이 응원합니다! 멋있어요.

imagine in her young age and there is so many pressure in her shoulder, Yuna you're really mature and so strong! actually not only Yuna every ITZY members you are strong!

I had teary eyes the moment I was watching Chaeryeong's part. She has been working ever since she was young. I feel sorry for her, if I could just go to Korea and go hug her and tell her that she's doing good.

リアの言葉はとても重く、アイドルってなんなんだろうと私たちを考えさせます。 時間が解決してくれるという結論を出せるほど耐え抜いたリアに拍手を送りたいです。

리아 얼마나 맘고생이 심할까 ... 노래도 너무너무 잘하고 춤도 많이 발전해서 너무너무 잘하니까 이제 화이팅!! 악플러들은 무시해요!!

I hate how the world is so toxic and even when you improve people still don’t want to see how you’re doing better they always want to pick out the mistakes. I think these 5 girls are so strong and are still up and doing what they love to do despite all the hate and criticism. I hope people can see the good in everyone and stop hating 💗

I'm SO PROUD of them for being strong and doing their best in everything they do for MIDZYS!

너 잘해 리아야. 데뷔 때 아 저 친구는 춤이 아직 익숙치 않구나 싶기는 했는데 하는거 보고(엄청 열심히 하니까) 조금만 있으면 춤 올라오겠다 싶었어. 너 엄청 멋있어.

when chaeryoung said, "i just get sad. i feel the same. i just want to hug them." i couldn't help myself from crying, as i can relate with her so much. we love you chaeryoung, we love you exactly how you are

This is truly a “Try Not To Cry Challenge”... 😔😔😔

채령이가 앉아있는 자세가 난 너무 슬펐다. 구석에 앉아서 혼자 얼마나 힘들었을까 생각하면 정말 ... 너무 속상하다 채령아 너 응원하는 사람 엄청 많아 항상 응원해 사랑해

사랑받기 충분한 사람들

채령언니, 언니는 정말예뻐요. 외모뿐만 아니라 언니 마음이 참 예뻐요. 상대방을 배려해주고 말하는 한마디한마디가 너무 예쁘게 좋은 말을 하는게 정말 예뻐요. 언니 항상 응원하고있어요. 앞으로도 쭉 열심히 응원할게요! 화이팅!

This is what I've been waiting for the past hours

What these girls have said here applies to every single human being out there. You, me, them, itzy, we are all the same on the inside

カメラの前だとしても、こうやって本音を話せる機会があるって大切なんじゃないかなって、良い企画だと思います。。

Although I relate to Yeji the most because I always keep everything to myself, hearing Lia saying "I can actually see and feel other members enjoying themselves on stage, and that's when I realize I'm a little bit different from them" is heartbreaking. Hopefully they are dealing with things better now❤️or trying hehe

내 아이돌도 이렇게 솔직하게 털어놓는 컨텐츠 있으면 좋겠다... 있지 너무 좋은 영향을 주는 컨텐츠들이 되게 많은 것 같음. 우리는 너무 속마음을 꽁꽁 숨기고.. 그런게 일상이 되어가는 것 같아서 마음이 아픈데 오늘 이거 보고 대리 감동 느꼈음. 멋있다 있지

why’s no one talking about yeji, she feels like she can’t express her feelings and she keeps all of it bottled up and tries to handle all of it by herself and she feels that she isn’t good enough to be a leader since it’s so much responsibility.

I cried so hard hearing my bias Queen Lia say she wasn't that good. Every single one of these Queens are amazing. They are the total package. They have such pure hearts and souls. I can't imagine better idols. I got a Midzy tattoo to show my undying love for them. I love you Queens!! Thank you for everything. You all are amazingly beautiful and talented Queens. Tattooedmidzyforlife 💕

皆、やっぱり辛いことはあるっていうことはわかっててもファンとして何もしてあげれない、助けてあげれないという悔しさや悲しさが私の中にもあるし 皆の前に出ることで責任を常に持っているって言うのは同じ人間として大変なのはめちゃくちゃわかるからあまり無理しないで欲しいなと思う

Chaeryeong is such a beautiful human, inside and outside. She's lovely and full of talent. I understand why people atack her, because they want to drag her down to them feel better with themselves. The people who is wrong are them. Chaeryeong, you haven't done anything wrong, and you're soo pretty. Please try to don't let those people affect you, if they do that it's because they just want to hurt others, not because what they're saying is true. Chaeryeong, we love you and we'll always get your back. I love you beautiful angel ❤
