Those who are both fans of K-pop and Nintendo will be pleasantly surprised with the ITZY and Pokemon!
Notably, a K-pop group from JYP Entertainment also had a collaboration with Nintendo. Previously in 2021, ITZY's labelmates TWICE had a collaboration with Nintendo to advertise their popular Nintendo Switch console.
Netizens and MIDZYs (the fandom name of ITZY) are excited as it is not yet clear exactly what ITZY and Pokémon will do for their collaborations. At the least, the Facebook post mentioned a commercial and Tik Tok videos, to the delight of K-pop fans.
Notably, the collaboration between ITZY and Pokemon set to start on Wednesday on the 9th of February, around two weeks after the release of "Pokémon Legends: Arceus."
