Singer Reacts to ITZY "Imaginary Friend" M/V

[@frootyalex]

ITZY will always have my heart. They are the group that got me into Kpop. ITZY BEST GG!

[@KeenanCrone]

Itzy was the first group to get me into kpop back in 2021 with their song Swipe. But recently my two favourite songs have been None of My Business, and a Japanese comeback called Blah Blah Blah.

[@AlexSinclairMusic]

Oh cool!! I need to hear those!!!

[@SloanMorton]

@@AlexSinclairMusic None Of My Business and Blah Blah Blah are amazing! In NOMB there is a small part you won’t expect!

[@alnherickjamaani2937]

I am not into kpop but only really into ITZY. They are insane ❤❤❤

[@alienshooter100]

same

[@Dimaura99]

Itzy is my ult girl group. I cant get enough of them and this song is my favorite title track from them. Its a close 1st but Bet on Me is still my favorite

[@대왕가리비]

저랑 비슷하네요. 저도 Bet on Me 좋아해요 😊

[@hulwanadalili]

Bet on Me is my favorite too!

[@brandicope7784]

Itzy never fails to surprise you. Never. (Mafia) In The Morning is my personal favorite along with Cheshire. They also have some amazing Japanese releases (Voltage, Blah Blah Blah, Ringo and Algorythm). Any Itzy song, imo, is fire but those are some of my favorites

[@CagedSoul1982]

Liked your m/v breakdown, from a musical standpoint. Regarding the m/v, it really is different from their previous work. In my humble opinion, this is a manifest & real shoutout to idols struggles, pains & the problems they face on a daily basis: being hurt by haters through online comments; being always in the spotlight, every gesture they make or word they say being under scrutiny; not being able to have a private life or privacy whatsoever. The m/v, in that regard, is full of metaphors: being chased by spotlights; walking in circles, on predetermined lanes; touched or followed by shadows; walking on a tight rope; the wound & scars they display; the frames, the mirrors, there are so many, many images with such a deep meaning behind them. And, by starting with Lia, the choreo & the closing image, also with Lia's eyes covered by her fellow Itzy members, in my interpretation, it's them showing their support for her (almost like a protective gesture), considering the problems she faced (for those who don't know, she was forced to take a 1 y hiatus, due to severe anxiety, caused by the struggles she faced being an idol, being hurt by repeated remarks, by the so called "fans", aka keyboard warriors , being a victim, for several years, of online bullying)...

This song is very different from Itzy's previous title tracks but instantly became one of their best songs. Personally, I think Wannabe and Loco are the others. Thanks a lot for your great reaction and analysis. Really enjoyed it.

[@anapaulauwu2586]

The moment he said "And these girls CAN sing!" Made me feel so happy and proud of them, because ITZY, principally Lia were so criticized about their vocals, so doubted... And they're amazing singers, deserving so much better that what they get ❤

[@MrAresxy07]

I think that when the English version of Imaginary Friend was released, Apple Music said that the song was about the parasocial relationship we as fans have with kpop idols. That's why they keep repeating they are our "Imaginary Friends" and they will keep us safe and dreaming but in contrast the song and mv look cold almost sad, having an imagery of the girls running in circles, being hurt and trying to stop the bleeding without succeeding, being scared and harmed by shadows that can't touch them but the itzy girls can feel them, the girls trying to cover lia's eyes at the end, a butterfly pinned to a wall, so beautiful and still so we can see it carefully but so in pain at the same time. Actually Lia herself said that we as fans get to decide if imaginary friend is a good thing or not. Absolutely stunning, not many songs in kpop invite to reflect about how we consume our favorite idols.

I love ITZY. I really appreciate them. I love their acting. I love their facial expressions. I love their presence. I love their stage presence. I love their performance.
