It’s hard to deny ITZY’s awesomeness. When the girls were slated to take to the Forest Hills Stadium stage for 88rising’s first-ever Head in the Clouds New York Festival it seemed like such a blessing that the rain that seem to consume the whole day ceased and stopped. Now, it is not that the girls single-handedly talked to mother nature and made the skies open up and bring sunshine, but their infectious energy certainly made those in attendance forget all about the rain.
Apart from spring, New Yorkers now have something else to get excited about coming this May. It was announced today that NYC will be holding its own groundbreaking Asian concert “Head In The Clouds Music and Arts Festival.” This “Head In The Clouds New York Music Arts Festival” like its Los Angeles counterpart will be presented by 88rising.
K-pop has begun to sweep the world as the “Hallyu wave” or “Korean wave” (the idea that South Korean pop culture has grown in prominence to become a major driver of global pop culture) has finally cemented its place in the west.
It’s been less than a year since ITZY made their official debut in February of 2019, but this K-pop girl group is making waves in the US. Their latest offering for their American fans comes in the form of their premiere showcase tour ‘ITZY? ITZY!.’ This tour saw the girls, Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna perform for their fans in Los Angeles, Houston, D.C., and NYC.
