We asked ITZY to describe themselves through food — and they did not disappoint
In their recent interview with NextShark, K-pop girl group ITZY talked about their newest mini-album “Cheshire,” their FIFA World Cup commercial for McDonald’s and what foods best represent their fellow members.
The quintet talked about the concept behind the new album and fun memories that were made while shooting their McDonald’s commercial.
Here's what each ITZY member had to say about which foods they think their fellow members would be:
Yeji

Lia – "Honey, because she has a voice sweet as honey."
Ryujin – "Bibimbap, because she has various attractive points."
Chaeryeong – "Ice cream, because she has a fresh and soft dance line."

Yuna – "Steak. She’s pretty with her sincereness and confidence, and she is good at grilling meat."
Yuna

Lia – "Sweet but has attractive points — same as a cinnamon roll."
Ryujin – "Spicy as tteok ramyeon."
