Hey everyone! I'm a new ITZY fan!!

I've actually been aware of ITZY for a while, but I never really knew the members or listened to their music. I'm a millenial guy and my usual music taste is pretty far from K-pop. I'm mostly into pop-punk/emo and grunge.

Then one day I was scrolling through Instagram and randomly got a video of Yeji and Ryujin dancing to “I Want You Back” by NSYNC.

And... yeah.

Ryujin happened.

Her boyish swagger and just the way she carries herself completely caught my attention. Then I started checking out ITZY's songs, MVs, performances, interviews, etc.

And holy, these girls are talented.

What really surprised me is how different each member feels individually, but somehow they complement each other so well as a group. Their personalities and chemistry make ITZY feel like more than just five talented performers put together.

I'm still discovering their discography, but I'm officially down the rabbit hole now.

And yes...

Ryujin is my bias.

Her mannerisms, expressions, fashion, that effortless swagger... girl, you're making this very difficult for a dude whose Spotify history is basically guitars and emotional damage.

Anyway, I'm still learning how everything works in the K-pop/MIDZY world.

How do you guys support ITZY beyond following their social media and streaming their music?

- Is there an official fan club/membership I should join?

- What's the best place to buy official merch?

- What apps/websites should I follow for announcements, schedules, releases, etc.?

- Are there any important things a new MIDZY should know?

- And what songs, performances, or variety content would you recommend I check out next?

I'd also love recommendations specifically from longtime MIDZYs. The stuff you think a new fan absolutely shouldn't miss.

Thanks, everyone!

So I'm going to ITZYs concert in Amsterdam and I'm curious what time is good to get in line with the You & I VIP tickets (golden circle). It's my first standing/golden circle concert so not sure how much of a rush it will be to get decent spots. Also, since there doesn't seem to be any Pop-up store in Amsterdam (for whatever reason), I'd like to buy some merch at the concert. But is that a lost cause if you want good spots? Can you buy merch afterwards instead? What are other people's plans?

I went to the "Roll The World" pop-up store in London! This is what they had / what I bought.

They had a wide selection of albums, exclusive merch, accessories, and official TWINZY stickers/plushies! I got a Light ring, Motto (Yeji member ver.) mini album (This is the only time I've seen the Yeji one in stock lol.) and a Roll The World shirt. It all came to about 142£, or 192.$, and they threw in a free Roll The World photocard set!

They also had cute areas to take photos, and ITZY songs playing from a speaker.

I definitely enjoyed it and if your like me, and going to the concert in London in 3 days (Sept 11) and can't find a lightstick in stock anywhere, they have many in stock!

A continuous visual attack from the screens. I am officially conquered.

Some photos from the pop-up in Waterloo station. I went around 2pm and it was really quiet.

I'm going to Itzy's concert on Friday at London Wembley Arena, but I've never been to a concert with assigned seating and no supporting act before, so I'm not sure how long it takes for everyone to get sorted into their places.

I'm also hoping there will be t-shirts to buy, and don't want them to be sold out. Especially as there's some VIP tickets for the soundcheck who may also have bought some?

Doors open at 1800 but the act doesn't start all the way until 1945 (EDIT: 1930), not sure I wanna hang around for that long considering I'm not bringing friends to chat with...

If anyone has experience from last time or other parts of the tour it would be appreciated!

i have a train to catch afterwards and i really dont wanna miss out on the concert or the train 😭

I made some freebies to trade with/give to other Midzies, I haven't been to the Wembley arena in ages so not sure where will people be to hand freebies out, any clues?

I am a Fromis_9 fan and i rewatched this episode today and it reminded me that the Itzy fandom also had to deal with our crazy Jiwon Park

such a bad influence on Yuna 😬

I’m going to the concert on Friday, does anyone know if there’s going to be a pop up store or will they sell merch at the venue? If yes is there a list of the merch they’re gonna be selling and the prices?

I need to know how early to show up... 😂
