As a special guest on Z100 NY, ITZY discussed a variety of topics, including their experiences in New York, their ongoing world tour, and more.
Despite the excitement of MIDZYs to learn more about the girl group at the radio station, there were some netizens who expressed dissatisfaction with a particular moment during the episode.
At 13:26, following Yeji’s announcement about their upcoming album, the host commended ITZY for their dedication to their fans and praised them for taking things one day at a time despite their hectic schedules.
Later on, the host inquired about potential artists that the ITZY members would like to collaborate with. In response, group leader Yeji expressed her interest in working with singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
Host: “You want to give your all to your fans every night so, if you’re also doing so many other things like hanging out with us or making sure that your mental and physical health is on, it’s too crazy. I’m really happy you’re taking time to take a day at a time.”
Host: “And when you decide to do music, you want to give your 100 percent to making that music. That’s beautiful, have you guys thought about who you’d want to collab with?”
Host: “I know you’ve done collabs before, but there are so many amazing artists that would love to work with you. A dream collab, maybe.”
Yeji: “For me, I really love Taylor Swift.”
Yeji’s answer ignited excitement among all those present in the room. Nevertheless, fans and netizens expressed their disappointment with the host’s handling of random mentions about Taylor Swift, as well as other well-known individuals such as Prince William, Tom Cruise, and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, football player Travis Kelce.
Host: “Oh my gosh, Taylor. Did you see her in London? She was with the Prince William and their kids this weekend, and the actor Tom Cruise, she was with Tom Cruise, yeah.”
Host: “Everybody showed up, it’s the ‘ERAS Tour’ and Travis, her boyfriend, right? She brought him on stage, you didn’t see that? You saw the videos? She brought her boyfriend on stage, Taylor brought her boyfriend Travis, the football player, she brought him as part of her act.”
The netizens were vocal about their frustration and labeled the comments as irrelevant to the ITZY interview. Others also noted how uncomfortable it made the members feel.
it got so awkward i know yeji was regretting saying her name 😭
