izna Wows Global Fans with Character-Inspired Dance Performance
On April 24, rising K-pop group izna released a special dance video for ‘BEEP (Japan Edition)’, the second track from their latest single album. This marks their first-ever Japanese language release, making it a much-anticipated treat for international fans.
Whimsy Meets Performance: A Costume Parade
In the video, the members take on the challenge of decoding emoji mission cards to choose their costumes — resulting in a hilarious mix of interpretations and imaginative creativity that had viewers laughing along. The performance was not just about dance but also a vibrant cosplay showcase.
The members transformed into beloved Japanese characters: Mai and Bang Jimin dressed as Ash and Pikachu from Pokémon, Yoo Sarang became Conan from Detective Conan, Choi Jeong-eun embodied Arale from Dr. Slump, and Jeong Sebi turned into Anya Forger from Spy × Family. Meanwhile, Coco, after much deliberation, drew a card at random and stunned everyone by becoming No-Face from Spirited Away — not Anpanman, as other members had predicted.
Cuteness Overload Meets Stellar Performance
Beyond the playful visuals, izna didn’t hold back on delivering top-tier choreography. Their charm and vibrant energy added a refreshing twist to the upbeat rhythm of ‘BEEP’. In one standout moment, Coco, masked and sitting alone backstage, surprised fans with a dramatic entrance right on cue for her verse — ending with a comedic unmasking that drew laughter and love from fans worldwide.
From Stage Pros to Variety Favorites
While they’re polished performers on stage, izna continues to showcase a more relatable and fun-loving side through various variety programs. They’ve been actively appearing on shows like MBC M’s Weekly Idol, Neighborhood Star K, Practice Room Badasaem, and JKeyOut, building a strong presence both on television and online platforms.
Rising Popularity Reflects in the Charts
Thanks to their diverse charms and tireless effort, both ‘BEEP’ and their debut single ‘SIGN’ (released March 31) are gaining momentum on the Melon HOT100 chart, with both songs landing securely within the Top 30. This steady rise has sparked anticipation for a long-lasting chart presence.
As izna continues to release new content and connect with fans around the globe, their unique blend of musicality and charisma is quickly making them one of the most promising acts in K-pop’s next generation.
