ITZY Surprises Fans With Sudden Contract Renewal Announcement During Concert

ITZY shocked fans with a tense moment at their latest concert.

During their September 20 fan meeting concert ON AIR, Ryujin brought up their contract renewal—right in the middle of the show. Fans were caught off guard when she began seriously talking about ITZY’s uncertain future with JYP Entertainment, since their contracts were about to expire.

Ryujin said she wanted fans to hear it from the group first. She explained they had many talks with the company and each other.

Then she dropped this line:

“It seems that moving forward, showing ourselves standing together as five would be…”

Ryujin cut herself off, smiled, and finally finished,

“…would be really easy!”

The crowd held their breath — then exploded with cheers.

It turned out all five members re-signed with JYP Entertainment, but Ryujin’s acting had everyone freaking out. Even after the company confirmed the renewal, her convincing performance made fans doubt what they’d heard.

Fans shared their shock online:

“Wow, I’m not even their fan, but I felt like I was gonna cry.”
“Ryujin is really something else.”
“Ah damn, Ryujin really…Even though I knew it from the title, it still made me freak out.”
“Wow, I’m not even a fan, but my heart dropped.”
“The fans basically fainted standing up, LOL. It was way too intense.”

Ryujin’s acting skills stole the spotlight. Could a K-Drama debut be next?
