What Does the Trailer Look Like?
The cinematic teaser enchants viewers with multiple versions of Yuna reaching for ice cream, before her signature white dress transforms into a series of stylish outfits — highlighting the album’s playful and versatile concept.
Fans immediately went wild over her bob haircut, calling it “sensational” and saying the short hair perfectly suits her extravagant concept. Honestly? They’re not wrong.
Why This Moment Feels So Big
Yuna first debuted with ITZY in 2019 alongside Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, and Chaeryeong — and over seven years, she’s grown from the group’s energetic youngest member into a full-fledged performer ready to lead her own stage.
Her solo album is described as a project “brimming with her own unique style,” revealing a new side of her that she was not fully able to show while promoting as part of the five-member group.
And the timing? Immaculate. Yuna will be the second ITZY member to make a solo debut, following leader Yeji whose album AIR earned a spot on Dazed UK’s “30 Best K-pop Tracks of 2025” list. The bar is set high — and Yuna looks ready to clear it.
Beyond music, Yuna has been cast in two upcoming tvN dramas — Undercover Miss Hong and My Favorite Employee — positioning herself as a true all-round entertainer in 2026.
