ITZY has secured their first music show win with their new song 'TUNNEL VISION'.

On the KBS 2TV broadcast of 'Music Bank' on November 21st, ITZY took home the trophy for their latest mini-album's title track, 'TUNNEL VISION'. During their acceptance speech, the group expressed, "This is our first music show win since our contract renewal. We know how much MIDZY (fan club name) wanted to give us this No. 1, so it feels even more meaningful. Thanks to our beloved MIDZY, we feel proud as ITZY and can actively promote. We will always be grateful and strive to show you our best. We love you, MIDZY!"

During the encore performance for their win, the members showcased a vibrant live performance, moving across the stage and sharing their joy with fans.

ITZY, who released their new album 'TUNNEL VISION' and its title track on the 10th, has entered their second week of comeback promotions. On 'Music Bank' that day, they delivered a powerful performance showcasing their solid dance skills. The choreography, inspired by Afro and hip-hop dance, featured groovy yet disciplined movements and formations symbolizing a tunnel, enhancing the audience's immersion. Their compelling stage presence garnered enthusiastic responses from K-pop fans. Continuing their momentum, ITZY is scheduled to appear on MBC's 'Show! Music Core' on the 22nd and SBS's 'Inkigayo' on the 23rd, further solidifying their status as the 'Queens of K-pop Performance'.

The title track 'TUNNEL VISION' is a dance song with a weighty hip-hop beat and brass sounds, conveying a message of moving forward at one's own chosen pace and direction, even amidst the chaos of experiencing extreme sensations and complete disconnection within a tunnel vision. The new album features a total of six tracks, including the title song, 'Focus', 'DYT', 'Flicker', 'Nocturne', and '8-BIT HEART', all exploring the journey of finding one's own path through music.

ITZY is actively promoting their comeback through various content, including music shows, their own series, and appearances on YouTube and radio programs. They are set to continue their global rise with their upcoming 3rd World Tour, 'ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR <TUNNEL VISION>', in 2026. The tour will kick off with its first concert held over three days from February 13th to 15th of next year at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Netizens reacted with excitement, commenting things like, "So happy it's their first win after re-signing!", "Always trust ITZY's performances, they're the best!", and "The concept for this song fits them perfectly, and their performance skills are undeniable!"
