The night started off with a video montage of each JYP artists that have graced Singapore shores throughout the years and there was truly a JPY Family feel as the fans took turns to cheer and scream for each JYP artiste that was featured in the video.
However, Midzys (Itzy fans) truly saved the loudest screams for Itzy as the girls took the stage and kicked off the night with their latest single "ICY" which was ironically an absolutely fiery stage that got all the fans screaming and fan chanting deliriously.
Greeting Midzys in English, Yeji, Lia, and Ryujin took turns to showcase their fantastic grasp of the English language as they cheered on the fans to have a fun night together. When asked how they felt about finally meeting their Singapore fans, Yeji thanked the fans for giving them so much love and added that despite Korea being very cold right now, the weather condition in Singapore was perfect for them!
Ryujin then made everyone cringed when she described the showcase as 'Kaya Toast' as she stated the showcase will be very sweet and attractive and this prompted Yuna to do a big heart shape that was returned enthusiastically by the 1,000 fans present.
Moving on to the "Question Itzy" segment, Itzy was asked which part of Singapore do they want to visit and Lia replied that they wanted to visit the Marina Bay Sands which they were unfortunately unable to visit on their first day in Singapore due to time constraint. She added that they had instead taken a photo near Bugis in which they could see MBS in the background and they really love the Kaya Toast here in Singapore.
Itzy members were then asked who were their biggest inspirations and Lia lovingly pointed to the fans and explained that seeing them getting inspired by their debut song "Dalla Dalla" motivated her to train even harder to put in better performances.
Chaeryoung said that she always looked up to JYP as her inspiration and father figure as he was good at producing very catchy and popular songs. Ryujin mentioned that they would love to collaborate with Twice much to the fans' delight while Yeji added that she was also very inspired by Chungha and hopes to collaborate with her one day.
Ending the segment with a question on when Itzy felt was their proudest moment ever, Lia replied that winning the rookie awards were definitely proud moments to remember but the one moment she felt truly proud of her members were when they were trainees and they were told that they were finally going to be able to debut and till this day she will never forget that moment.
With the Q&A segment ended, it was time to move on to the "Guess The Song" quiz in which only the first second of the song would be played. Chaeryoung easily won the segment which Yuna said was so "itzy" (easy) much to the amusement of the fans.
It was time to take to the stage again with one of the main highlights of the night as Itzy performed covers of Twice "TT" and Got7 "Hard Carry" which showcased the contrasting charms that Itzy possessed, being cute one moment for 'TT' and then turning into major girl crushes for "Hard Carry."
Moving on to the game segment "All In Us! Roulette," it was, in summary, a scream in silence game in which one Itzy member would be shown a word and the members had to take a turn to pass the message by screaming the words in silence without doing any actions while listening to loud music on their headsets.
Itzy managed to guess all seven words correctly and it was definitely 30 minutes filled with tears of laughter as the individual personalities and charms of each Itzy member could be seen clearly with the youngest members Yuna and Chaeryoung being the better players and the oldest member Yeji being the most blur and humorous player.
Ending the game segment with each member doing their individual aegyo fan service for the fans, they again lit up the stage with a super charismatic performance of "Cherry" in which Ryujin cued the fans to rap together with her before all the members gathered together at the edge of the stage to take a group photo with the fans.
However, a surprise video was played instead showcasing the difficult journey Itzy had taken since the start of their debut to finally achieving their rookie awards and first music show wins which brought tears to many of the members' eyes.
Lia felt sorry that they could only perform 6 songs this time and she admitted that sometimes she expected these fan-made videos because Midzys are always doing such touching videos for them but she still cries every time she watches these videos because they always feel so touched by the fans' love.
Ryujin thanked fans for always supporting them before Chaeryoung cutely added that Itzy will always only trust Midzys. This prompted Midzys to start singing an impromptu birthday song for Yuna who just celebrated her birthday the week before on December 9 and she confessed that she does not know what to say to the fans because she is always so thankful for them and she promised that Itzy will definitely come back to Singapore again.
Yeji announced that they only had one stage left and thanked everyone for creating such an unforgettable night for Itzy. Lia felt really sad that it was time for their last song and requested the fans to sing together and Chaeryoung quipped that she will be watching the fans on the second floor. Yuna got the crowd roaring as she asked everyone to stand up for the last stage and Itzy ended that amazing night with 'Want It' and their debut song "Dalla Dalla."
