June is our Music Issue! And we’re shining a spotlight on one of K-pop’s leading fourth generation girl groups, ITZY. Now in the middle of their ‘Born To Be’ world tour, ITZY took time off to meet with the ELLE Singapore team in Seoul, Korea, for a day of fashion-filled fun. Once they stepped in front of the camera, it was easy to see how they managed to win millions of MIDZYs’ hearts around the world. In an exclusive interview, they look back on their amazing five years in music.

And for music that really speaks to the Singapore identity, we showcase some immense talent to be found on our shores, from Abangsapau’s poignant rap and Suthasini’s dulcet vocals. Enjoy the read!
