As a member of ITZY, YUNA fits right into the K-pop girl group’s fierce, performance-driven pop. But as a soloist, YUNA—who was only 15 when ITZY exploded onto the idol scene with “DALLA DALLA” in 2019—leans into the brightest side of the JYP Entertainment squad’s musical spectrum. In 2022, she brought a pop-princess attitude to a cover of Lee Hyori’s “U-Go-Girl,” and “Yet, but,” her solo track off of ITZY’s 2024 album BORN TO BE, tapped into the same girly power-pop sensibilities. The trajectory would shape YUNA’s 2026 solo debut. Ice Cream leads with its best bubblegum-pop foot forward, the title track bouncing along like a sugar high. The entire four-track effort is unabashedly ebullient in its sounds and messaging as the 22-year-old artist encourages listeners to cherish life’s sweet moments.
