The \u2018ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR \u2019 takes its name from their mini album\u00a0TUNNEL VISION,\u00a0released in November 2025, telling a story about finding one\u2019s true self.<\/p>\n
Rolling Stone AU\/NZ caught up with ITZY to chat about their evolving artistry and what fans can expect from their upcoming live shows.<\/p>\n
Rolling Stone AU\/NZ: This is your first run since the \u2018 Tour\u2019 in 2024 but also the first with all five members in Australia. What does that mean for the group?<\/p>\n
Yeji: I have such great memories from our first tour in Australia during the \u2018 Tour\u2019. I was so happy and grateful that so many MIDZY [fandom name] came to see us even though it was our first time there. I\u2019m so excited to enjoy this experience together with Lia, and I think it will be such a meaningful time for all five of us to be together in Australia for the first time.<\/p>\n
What were some highlights from the 2024 tour?<\/p>\n

Yeji: I remember the venue in Australia had a very high ceiling, which made the atmosphere feel even more special. When we were singing the encore songs, I looked out at MIDZY, and it was so beautiful like stars were pouring down.<\/p>\n
ITZY is only seven years into its story. What are some of the biggest challenges and learnings you\u2019ve had as a group during this time?<\/p>\n
Lia: I think the process of understanding and accepting one another has been the biggest challenge, as well as the greatest learning experience for us as a group.<\/p>\n
What are some goals ITZY want to achieve? <\/p>\n
Lia: We would like to continue showing MIDZY new music and new sides of ITZY that we haven\u2019t been able to share with them before.<\/p>\n
Compared to your debut, what do you think has changed or improved the most?<\/p>\n
Ryujin: I think I\u2019ve gradually learned how to communicate better with MIDZY and our audiences.<\/p>\n
As ITZY are known as \u201cperformance queens\u201d, are there any other titles or images you\u2019d like to be associated with?<\/p>\n
Ryujin: It\u2019s not a specific title, but I hope we can be remembered with a positive image as artists who always bring joy and happiness to many people.<\/p>\n
Following the world tour kick-off in Seoul, Australia marks the first stop. How do you feel about starting this journey?<\/p>\n
Chaeryeong: I visited Australia for the first time during the \u2018 Tour\u2019, and it gave me so many happy and unforgettable memories. I\u2019m so happy and excited to be going back, and it makes it even more special that Australia will be the first overseas stop of our \u2018 World Tour\u2019.<\/p>\n
Having showcased a wide range of musical concepts throughout your career, which has been your favourite so far, and which concept would you like to explore next?<\/p>\n
Chaeryeong: We\u2019ve explored so many different musical concepts, and every challenge has been meaningful and enjoyable for me. If there\u2019s a concept I\u2019d like to try next, I\u2019d love to take on something fresh and pure.<\/p>\n
Since you perform multiple shows with the same setlist, do you have any personal ways to stay fresh and enjoy each performance?<\/p>\n
Yuna: The energy and reactions of MIDZY in each city are all different, so we try to take in the unique atmosphere of every show.<\/p>\n
\u201cTHAT\u2019S A NO NO\u201d gained strong attention after being performed for the first time at the Seoul concert. What inspired you to include this six-year-old B-side in your tour setlist?<\/p>\n
Yuna: It was a song that our fans really love and had been hoping to see, and the track itself has such great energy and an exciting vibe. We felt it would look amazing as a performance on stage during the concert, so we decided to add it to the setlist.<\/p>\n
