ITZY Turns Into Scaredy-Cats? Why the Members Cried While Searching for the WAKPPU Ball
ITZY reveals tears, fear and an unexpected vulnerable side during a WAKPPU Ball mission in the first episode of 'DaDa-ITZY.'
ITZY briefly set aside the charisma that defines the group onstage and revealed a more human side. The first episode of 'DaDa-ITZY,' a new self-produced content series featuring the members themselves, has been released and is drawing attention from fans.

In the episode, ITZY takes on a mission to find the 'WAKPPU Ball' and soon encounters circumstances the members did not expect. Their reactions stand in sharp contrast to the bold, confident performances that have captivated a global fandom. As the mission unfolds, the members become frightened and show a side of themselves resembling 'Scaredy-Cats,' creating moments of humor along the way.
Tears During the Mission and an Unexpected New Charm
The heart of the episode lies in the members' reactions as they set out in search of the WAKPPU Ball. While working through the mission, they come face to face with unexpected scares, and some of the members are even brought to tears. Their changing emotions become a central part of the episode rather than being hidden from view.
The polished image familiar from ITZY's performances appears to vanish for a moment. Instead of the members who normally deliver perfectly synchronized choreography onstage, viewers see them flustered by the mission's difficulty and surroundings. The episode captures their eyes filling with tears and presents those reactions openly, allowing the members' fear and confusion to emerge without embellishment.
These scenes highlight the variety of personalities and qualities within ITZY. The group is known for making powerful performances a defining strength, but 'DaDa-ITZY' also brings attention to the bond among the members and their recognizably human vulnerability. By showing emotions that differ from their commanding stage presence, the episode gives fans an opportunity to feel closer to them.
The Beginning of Self-Produced Content for a Global Fandom
'DaDa-ITZY' was planned as a series that would fully showcase both ITZY's daily lives and the members' ability to entertain. From its opening episode, the series follows their candid emotional changes throughout the mission. Its structure goes beyond that of a simple promotional video and presents the content as a variety program in its own right.
ITZY has recently continued its active promotions with the new song 'Motto.' At the same time, the group is using this content series to create more opportunities to communicate with fans. The members' surprising reactions during the mission offer global audiences a different perspective on ITZY and help establish a new dimension of the group's appeal.
