ITZY’s Latest Release Sparks Massive Disappointment Among Koreans

Netizens did not hold back.

Over their past few comebacks, ITZY have been facing noticeably mixed reactions to their title tracks.

Their latest comeback has seemingly continued that trend.

ITZY’s newest release, “Tunnel Vision,” marks another collaboration between the JYP Entertainment girl group and popular producer DemJointz. While there was plenty of excitement surrounding the comeback due to this, the song appears to have fallen short of expectations.

Based on the comments under a trending post on TheQoo about the group’s new release, Korean netizens feel the song is yet another polarising title track from ITZY.

Many have branded the track “boring” and “disappointing,” with the chorus in particular sparking the most scathing comments.

• “Ugh, that’s disappointing… Are they not going to do something like ‘DALLA DALLAS again?”
• “What was that supposed to be with the ‘charisma’ in the chorus? I was so confused.”
• “Why does the song sound like this… ㅠ”
• “It’s disappointing. I feel like I’ve always been left a bit disappointed, but maybe their style just isn’t for me…”
• “Now that they’ve been around for a while, maybe their good songs don’t hit the same? The choreography feels bland, and the beginning of the MV was cringe again with the foreign actors. You can see they spent money in the second half, but honestly, a lot of idol groups use this kind of music video style these days, so it doesn’t even feel new. Anyway, their early-debut era was really good, so it’s such a shame.”
• “How is it that everything except the chorus is good? So disappointing. But the music video does look really nice.”
