"Music Station," which is Japan's most popular music program for the past 35 years since its first broadcast in October 1986, will welcome ITZY as they decorate the stage with the Japanese version of their hit song "Wannabe" on November 12 local time.

Produced and written by Galactika, "Wannabe" features the message "I am precious as I am," which is showing one's own color and identity without being bound by other people's standards.
