Izna Embraces Edgy Transformation with 'Not Just Pretty' Mini Album

On October 1st, 2025, K-pop group Izna unveiled their second mini album 'Not Just Pretty' at a Seoul showcase. The group positioned the record as a reset built on confidence, candor, and edge, with members describing it as the start of a new era and a bid to define "the Izna genre" itself.

Following last month's departure of member Yoon Ji-yoon, Izna moves forward as a six-member group, acknowledging the change while emphasizing mutual support and redoubled commitment to their craft. The members highlighted intentional concept pivots, like a decisive short-hair switch, to signal a clean break from softer aesthetics toward a sharper, self-directed image.

The five-track set includes the lead single 'Mamma Mia,' plus 'Supercrush,' 'Racecar,' 'In the Rain,' and a 'SIGN' remix. The songs pair direct hooks and punchy beats with a streak of lyrical assertiveness, designed for quick stage translation. Producers Teddy and 24 steered the concept toward confidence-first delivery, urging the group to drop residual dreaminess in favor of present-tense power and to center joy on the mic as an audible texture.

This studio ethos dovetails with the members' stated goal of owning bolder stages. The group recently turned heads with a first-of-its-kind idol cover of 'GOLDEN' by K-pop Demon Hunters, a high-wire pick that amplified their profile and underscored their performance ambition. That rush of exposure now feeds directly into the 'Mamma Mia' promotions, priming fan focus on synchronization, charisma, and live bite.
