Girl group Itzy have released a new concept image for their fifth mini album ‘Checkmate’, via the official SNS channel of JYP Entertainment.

Posing elegantly, with chic and feminine outfits, the background is as white as paper. Immediately, the eye is drawn to the monotonous outfits, sparkling accessories and smokey make-up. 

The new album is a comeback for the group in ten months. Last year in September, the group released their first album ‘Crazy in Love’ and reached the peak in charts. This is why long awaited fans are all so excited for this upcoming release.

Itzy are also headed for their first world tour since their debut. Starting in Seoul for two days from August 6^th to 7^th, they will be touring eight states in America. 

The dates for the world tour are as follows: Seoul (August 6^th to 7^th), Los Angeles (October 26^th), Phoenix (October 29^th), Dallas (November 1^st), Houston (November 3^rd), Atlanta (November 5^th), Chicago (November 7^th), Boston (November 10^th) and New York (November 13^th).

The girl group will be dropping their new album on charts at 13:00 (KST) on July 15^th.
