Yuna

Yuna (유나), born Shin Yu-na (신유나), is the maknae of ITZY and one of JYP Entertainment's clearest fourth-generation crossover bets. She debuted with the group in 2019 on It'z Different, then turned her combination of long-line stage presence, fast-improving performance control, and camera instinct into one of ITZY's most commercially visible member profiles. That profile widened again in 2026. Yuna stepped into a solo chapter with Ice Cream while expanding her acting credits through tvN projects Undercover Miss Hong and My Favourite Employee. Fashion and brand work with Infinix and Coach kept her public image moving beyond idol basics, but the core appeal has stayed the same: she reads instantly on stage, sells performance concept cleanly, and keeps adding range without losing ITZY's punch.
