ITZY brings warmth to vulnerable groups by inviting them to Seoul World Tour concert
2026년 2월 19일
ITZY kicked off its 2026 World Tour in Seoul, gifting vulnerable children, youths and their families with the opportunity to attend. The Seoul stop of ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR 〈TUNNEL VISION〉 was held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium from February 13–15, and the invitation was extended there. Invitations were carried out in cooperation with JYP EDM partner institutions, including Samsung Seoul Hospital, National Cancer Center, Seoul Asan Medical Center and Yonsei University Health System. Through a treatment-cost support program by JYP Entertainment, the group invited children who are in recovery or have completed treatment, as well as vulnerable pediatric patients and their families. According to organizers, in addition to children receiving treatment at medical facilities, their families were also in attendance, adding meaning to the concert. The invitation also connects to World Vision’s 2022 Dream Support project, Dreaming Children, in which ITZY members mentored children and families who had already attended concerts. Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna emphasized that the Seoul show was a moment to support the healthy futures and dreams of the vulnerable. Since debuting in 2019 with Dalla Dalla, ITZY has built a global fanbase with hits such as Icy (2019), Not Shy (2020), Sneakers (2022) and Girls Will Be Girls (2025). These social-contribution activities form part of the group’s sustainable giving practices, alongside JYP Entertainment’s EDM DAY events and the label’s CSR content ‘JYP 4 EARTH.’ Meanwhile, ITZY’s Seoul concert opened the world tour, with Melbourne (April 17) to be followed by appearances in New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines. The group has consistently carried out diverse philanthropy at home and abroad, and this Seoul invitation broadens the positive impact of giving back to society. Attention will be on how ITZY’s warm message will spread among domestic and international fans in the future.
