By Dong Sun-hwa
K-pop girl band TWICE has been making a big splash on the music scene, but its agency JYP Entertainment still has room for more, on Monday unveiling new five-member girl band ITZY.
The agency disclosed a teaser video of the group, "PROLOGUE FILM: ITZY? ITZY!" on its YouTube channel and social media. The video has already garnered more than 1.6 million views.

In the clip, the teenage quintet ― Yuna, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, Lia and Yeji― catches the eye with visuals and fashion styles.
People are already familiar with some of them. Ryujin was winner of JTBC's idol competition show "MIXNINE" last year, and Chaeyeong is a sister of Lee Chae-yeon, a flagship member of K-pop girl band IZ*ONE that made its debut last year.
The new group is composed of only Koreans.
"It is the dream team," said a JYP spokesperson. "We are set to reveal the project for the group's debut soon."
