izna confirms Japanese debut with mini album 'HANDLE WITH CARE' on September 2

izna (마이, 방지민, 코코, 유사랑, 최정은, 정세비) will officially debut in Japan on September 2 with mini album HANDLE WITH CARE, released in partnership with Sony Music.

The groundwork has been methodical. Last August they performed at SUMMER SONIC 2025, Japan's largest music festival. They were tapped as vocalists for Love All, a TV commercial song for a major Japanese beverage brand—direct exposure to the general public, not just the fandom. Their first Japanese-language vocal track, BEEP (Japan Edition), charted in the upper ranks on iTunes and AWA. In January this year, their first Japanese fan concert, izna 1st FAN-CON [Not Just Pretty] In Japan, sold out entirely. They fronted a variety show on ABEMA (izna의 일본 첫 예능! What is N/a?). Photo spreads in ViVi and ELLEgirl followed. An NHK radio appearance rounded it out.

Back home, izna recently put out domestic mini album 3, SET THE TEMPO, posting results across major domestic and international platforms.

"Thanks to naya, we were able to achieve our dream of debuting in Japan," the group said, addressing their fanclub by name. (naya is the official fandom name.) The album will be "full of izna's unique charm."

HANDLE WITH CARE arrives September 2.
