P4K's review of Guess Who kinda nails it

    ITZY have always matched a contagious confidence with audacious songwriting; singles like “ICY” and “WANNABE” have prismatic beats that make them runway-ready pop spectacles (it’s fitting that they’re the sole K-pop group with production credits from SOPHIE). Disappointingly, their latest mini-album, Guess Who, often strays from the formula, eschewing genre-blending panache for the tediously straight-ahead.

    I hope Itzy can find their way back from the wilderness, they really were the most promising group in years in 2019. :(


    My fear is that, really, this is the real Itzy, and the Itzy of It'z Me was just too uncommercial for JYPE's purposes.
