This fifth mini-album is perhaps their most unique to date, fulfilling the minimalistic production and a hip-hop, quirky sound the group only started to hint at in 2021. Summer found K-pop's best dance team continuing to assert their dominance with CHECKMATE, lead by the title track "SNEAKERS", a summer smash singalong as energetic as it is fun. In the spring, the group held their first fan meeting, the very first chance for MIDZY everywhere to finally see live performances of the songs Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna had released while opressed by COVID. By March, the group made their Japanese debut with "Voltage", an immediately-accessible, powerful dance cut sung entirely in that language. Within the first week of 2022 the quintet issued a hard-hitting hype song for the popular Street Dance Girls Fighter. No K-pop group had a better, busier year than ITZY.
