According to the schedule, Yeji will begin promotions with an official trailer, followed by a tracklist reveal on Friday. Concept photos and short films will roll out on Feb. 24, 26 and 28. In March, additional teasers and promotional images will be unveiled ahead of a live countdown event at 5 p.m. on the day of the album's launch.

The 24-year-old singer demonstrated her potential as a solo artist with "Crown on My Head," a track from ITZY's 2024 album "BORN TO BE."

The song highlighted her commanding stage presence, showing what fans can expect from her upcoming project.

"Yeji has firmly established herself as a 'performance queen' — we encourage fans to witness the unique charm she will bring as a solo artist," JYP Entertainment said in a press release Monday.

ITZY, a five-member girl group, debuted in 2019 with the single "DALLA DALLA," instantly gaining a significant following for its powerful performance. The group has since delivered a string of hits, including "ICY," "WANNABE" and "Not Shy," solidifying its position as one of JYP's leading acts.

Last year, ITZY dropped its ninth mini-album, "GOLD," featuring the dual-title tracks "GOLD" and "Imaginary Friend." The contrasting aesthetics of the two lead singles showcased the group's versatility, proving its strength in a very competitive market.
