On December 18th at 12 a.m. KST, ITZY unveils a pre-release track from their upcoming album along with its music video!
“BORN TO BE” is a bold EDM-based song which sings about wanting to live freely and show the world as they blossom to their full potential. It was written by Noday and composed by Arineh Karimi and Gusten Dahlqvist.
Their pre-release single “Mr. Vampire” is set to be revealed on January 2nd KST as part of the preparation for their comeback with their studio album BORN TO BE and its title track, “UNTOUCHABLE,” on January 8th KST.
Member Lia, who has been in hiatus since September, will not be participating in their upcoming comeback and will sit out from the group’s world tour (scheduled to start with a two-day Seoul concert in February) to focus on recovery after being diagnosed with anxiety disorder. However, she has released a lyric video for her solo “Blossom” and expressed her sincere emotions towards fans.

Katherine grew up watching Korean dramas and other Asian shows. Although she first learned to appreciate Korean music through OSTs broadcasted locally, it wasn’t until 2011 that she properly paid attention to K-pop. She holds a fondness for SEVENTEEN and NCT and would recommend (G)I-DLE, Dreamcatcher, and XG to whoever cared to listen. She reads just about anything and is currently easing back into full novels.
