The group izna is expanding its global activities through an interview with Italy's leading weekly magazine PANORAMA. The publication described izna as "the discovery K-POP has been waiting for."

izna consists of Mai, Bang Jimin, Coco, Yoo Sarang, Choi Jeongeun, and Jung Sebi. PANORAMA introduced izna's achievement of winning the FAVORITE RISING ARTIST award at the 2025 MAMA AWARDS and noted their more mature leap with the second mini-album Not Just Pretty. The media praised izna for clearly recognizing their own musical direction despite being rookies and paid close attention to their future endeavors.

In the interview, izna said about their second mini-album Not Just Pretty, "As the album title suggests, we wanted to show various charms beyond the frame of being 'pretty.' Through this album, we aimed to reveal the wide spectrum that izna possesses." They also emphasized their challenge of trying new concepts with each comeback, stating, "Rather than feeling the burden of overcoming difficulties, we focus on expanding our identity through various challenges."

Starting with their debut album N/a, izna has continued to explore diverse musical attempts with SIGN, BEEP, and the recently released second mini-album Not Just Pretty. In particular, the title track Mamma Mia achieved their first number one on terrestrial music shows. Within just one year of debut, they surpassed 100 million cumulative streams on the world's largest music streaming platform Spotify, solidifying their global presence.

izna plans to continue active promotions to maintain communication with their fans.
