Izna Shines as Special MC and Performer at KCON JAPAN 2025

Rookie girl group Izna showcased their rapidly growing international presence at 'KCON JAPAN 2025' by delivering captivating performances, hosting as a special MC, and engaging with fans at brand booths. The event took place from May 9 to 11 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

On the final day, May 11, Izna's Bang Ji-min served as a special MC for the 'M COUNTDOWN' segment, sharing the stage with ZeroBaseOne's Seong Han-bin. Bang Ji-min opened the program with a fluent Japanese greeting, demonstrating her professionalism and charm. 

Reflecting on her dual roles at the event, she said, "I performed as part of Izna yesterday, and today I'm honored to be an MC on such a grand stage." Her confident, charismatic hosting captivated the audience, while her insightful remarks added depth to the event.

Bang Ji-min also expressed her hopes that the day would be remembered as a lucky moment for all attendees, recalling her debut through Mnet's 'I-LAND 2' as her own unforgettable stroke of luck. Her thoughtful words, combined with her poised and engaging presentation, resonated with the audience.
 

In addition to their performance, Izna visited the 'Galaxy Pop-up Studio' by Samsung Galaxy and the CJ OnStyle booth, where their presence attracted significant attention and warm applause, emphasizing their growing popularity.

Formed through the reality show 'I-LAND 2,' Izna debuted in November last year and quickly garnered attention with their debut album 'N/a' and digital single 'SIGN.' Their impressive rise continues, with scheduled performances at 'Superpop 2025 Korea' and Japan's 'Summer Sonic' in August.
