ITZY has become one of the most famous all-female K-Pop groups in the world. Apart from their impressive talents and skills, their agency seemingly plays a significant role, as well, in their overall success.
The five-member act debuted from JYP Entertainment in 2019. Reports said that the label is one of the so-called "Big 3" agencies in the world of South Korean entertainment.
Despite the group's apparent popularity and success today, the members revealed that the public's questions to them do not have any relation to them as a group or as members. Instead, they shared that many people, including their acquaintances, are more curious about JYP Entertainment, particularly its CEO and its organic cafeteria, JYP BOB.
Koreaboo released a report on the matter, revealing the details of the ITZY members' statements. In an engagement with Singles Korea, the five K-Pop idols claimed that "no matter who [they] meet," these individuals always want to know about JYP BOB, adding that the interests are more evident in their label's cafeteria.
As explained, most of the questions thrown at them are about the food and the venue. Several people would, reportedly, ask them whether the meals are good.
Alongside the famous cafeteria, many of their friends and acquaintances would, also, talk about the CEO of JYP Entertainment. The members shared that people would always ask about Park Jin Young, if not about the JYP BOB.
A separate report from Koreaboo recalled a moment when g.o.d.'s Joon visited the agency's highly acclaimed pantry. He toured the venue and tried JYP BOB, which only offers organic food at a "subsidized cost for staff," and is free for their trainees.
The publication, then, explained that the name of the cafeteria is word-play on the Korean word "jib-bap." It, reportedly, means "home-cooked meal," which accommodates the venue's offerings to artists and staff members of the company.
During Joon's visit, he met with several K-Pop groups from the label. While the members of ITZY were not present at that time, the South Korean celebrity had an encounter with members of Stray Kids and Red Velvet.
In other related news, ITZY is set to make a comeback next month. It will serve as their first return in eight months, after releasing "Not Shy" earlier in August.
Soompi reported that the group has already dropped teaser materials for the highly anticipated event. It features the title track, "Guess Who," as well as the release date, which will be on April 30, at 1 PM, KST.
