ITZY has released the first teaser for ‘CHECKMATE’! The girl group is scheduled to return with their mini album ‘CHECKMATE’ on July 15, and they have officially kicked off the round of teasers by dropping a video titled ‘ITZY “CHECKMATE” CONCEPT FILM #1’. The clip features the sound of a clock striking as the background sound, which is overlaid by shots of ITZY’s members in black and white clothing and bold makeup.
