izna's 'METRONOME' challenge hits 55M views as mini album 3 'SET THE TEMPO' gains momentum

izna's METRONOME challenge has crossed 55 million combined views. Still climbing.

The six-member group (Mai, Bang Jimin, Coco, Yu Sarang, Choi Jungeun, Jung Sebi) dropped their third mini album SET THE TEMPO on the 8th under Wakeone. The album carries a central message: "we ourselves become the standard, not the standard set by the world." Previous tracks SIGN, IZNA, and Mamma Mia built the foundation. METRONOME anchors this era.

Three versions of the challenge — EASY, HARD, and a speed-adjusted cut — lowered the barrier enough that BIGBANG's Daesung, Zico, ITZY's Yuna, actor Kim Jae-won, broadcaster Park So-hyun, and Japanese group Cutie Street all posted their takes. That breadth of participation shows up in the view count.

The choreography gives challengers something to work with: a dance break with vogueing elements, time-lag domino formations, and synchronized footsteps timed precisely to the metronome sound.

Daily listeners on Spotify and YouTube Music have grown more than three times over the album's release-day figures. SET THE TEMPO entered the top ranks of Japan's Oricon weekly album chart and weekly combined album chart. Every track on the album charted on the Circle Chart weekly download chart.

izna debuted in 2024 after forming through Mnet's audition program I-LAND2 : N/a. Three mini albums in two years is a pace worth noting. The group plans to continue music broadcast appearances and content activities for global fans.
