ITZY <CHECKMATE>: SNEAKERS LYRIC POSTER + BURNING WEEK

I feel a little bit better. But the dressed with the sneakers a huge fashion flop I fear

Personally, sneakers look absolutely funny under an elegant dress and it is incompatible. Even flats shoes look better than sneakers. But Sneakers definitely gave off that Wannabe and Dalla Dalla vibe. I'm glad they're back to that concept.

Nice

A full squad of this.

Lia did it 1st! And honestly, I'm for it. It's a new concept. A fresh visual. This comeback might slay.

Also, Checkmate Snippet and Sneaker Snippet? Wonder what that's about?

Interesting. Looking forward

why do I feel like they are going to O.O itzy?

That is a viable theory for sure.

It could be as simple as a contrasting "fancy dress with casual sneakers" visual concept like Lia in the gifs above.

Or the contrast could extend all the way into the music, a edgy girl crush royal concept to start, then a colorpop sneakerfest interlude, then go back to the edgy girl crush.

that's what I'm thinking, they are going to change everything in the middle of the song

Not this please. If one of the parts sounds terrible it just ruins the whole song. I much prefer two separate songs so I can choose to listen to the one I like and ignore the bad one.

I just realized...it's kind of rare to post post-comeback schedules.

I'm so used to groups posting teaser schedules but we probably don't need it at this point lol

Maybe, even if the O.O-style melody changes, Itzy will handle it. I think unique concept songs like "Icy" Itzy carry and match unique genre songs very well.

What if it's a double title track

I hope so, now I'm nervous with the idea that I created

How much beat change can happen to the song that Galactica made. Galactica's songs are that experimental, but they don't have that much contrasting transitions. Even if the Royal concept is released, it's probably not as heavy and mature as you think, but in a teen crush style. Because Itzy's identity is teen crush.

yeah, I don't think it's going to be that mature, but something different that they have been doing

we like sm groups so we should be used to these experimental songs

still waiting for this possibility lol

I’m being dramatic lol. I’ll wait till their music video drops before I act disappointed.

This is all very interesting, I wonder what Chaeryeong thinks of it all?
