izna, known as a fifth-generation K-pop tempo setter, made their debut at the 35th Seoul Music Awards. The five-member group consisting of Mai, Bang Ji-min, Coco, Yoo Sa-rang, Choi Jung-eun, and Jung Se-bi showcased their strong presence on stage. Member Bang Ji-min expressed confidence, saying "I hope izna becomes the protagonist." The group impressed the audience with their 'MAMMA MIA' performance and a perfect reinterpretation of After School's 'Diva,' drawing explosive cheers. They also supported Rula's '3!4!' stage performance and eventually won the coveted 'Best Performance Award.' This comeback following a nine-month hiatus in June marked a special time for the group, with fans' support serving as tremendous motivation. All members of izna are visual members, and their tall stature and long limbs enable them to deliver powerful and refreshing performances. Bang Ji-min expressed gratitude for being mentioned as part of '이방원' (ibangyeon), alongside HYBE's Ahn and ILLIT's Won-hee. The members cited their fanbase 'naya' as the source of their inspiration and commitment to repaying fans with even better music and performances as they pursue world tours and broader international expansion.
