Dazzling visuals and quick-fire promo set the stage as IZNA pursues Asia concerts and a spot at the 2025 MAMA Awards

IZNA member Ban Ji-min lit up tvN’s Amazing Saturday on the 18th, delivering a blend of charm, confidence, and top-tier visuals that captured viewers’ attention.

During the show’s first-ever Jewel Box special, Ban Ji-min appeared to IZNA’s “SIGN” and “BEEP,” entering with a crisp, fresh choreography and immediately asserting a strong presence. She greeted viewers with a playful self-promo: I just came back with “Mamma Mia.” Don’t wait—listen to it now.

As the game segments whipped into full swing, Ban Ji-min’s performance stood out even more. In the “Body Language” round, she almost single-handedly nailed every clue, hard-carrying her team to victory. Adding to the show’s wow factor, she—a pioneer with a so-called hair-cam among idols—flung her hair in shampoo-ad-worthy fashion during dynamic choreography, delivering peak visuals that left her fellow castmates in awe.

Her rapid-fire pace didn’t stop there. She blitzed through the snack-initial-consonant quiz and followed with a powerful performance of her new track, “Mamma Mia.” Even in moments of tasting food on set, she kept the crowd engaged with renewed “Mamma Mia” exclamations, underscoring her role as the show’s go-to promo muse for the new release.

Behind IZNA’s rising star trajectory lies not only Ban Ji-min’s on-air prowess but the group’s growing momentum. IZNA’s mini-album Not Just Pretty, led by the title track “Mamma Mia,” recently earned a No. 1 on KBS2’s Music Bank — marking the group’s first-ever top on a terrestrial music show and signaling a clear upward arc.

Looking ahead, IZNA will bring their Not Just Pretty era to the stage with their first fan concerts in Korea and Japan this November and December. The group is also poised to meet global fans as they earn a spot in the 2025 MAMA Awards’ rookie category and Performing Artist lineup.
