## IT'Z

IT'Z Icon

**IT'Z** (stylized in all caps; *p: it·zee*) is the collective name for the group of internet friends consisting of Cj Sanchez, Pauline Sui, Michael Williams, Kaela Giddings, Parker Trinh, Austin Dy, Rin Aguinaldo, the twins — Stefan and Stefen Sanchez, Belle Bello, Lucas Hale, Naomi Campbell, and Luci Sakuragi. Jace Blanchett is still a part of the group despite not being active in any social media platform.

#### **ETYMOLOGY**

JYP Entertainment's ITZY became Rin's inspiration for changing the group name. The complete group name means "It's the Zquad", with the letter "Z" pertaining to how every member is born on Generation Z, also called *Zoomers*.

## **TRIVIAS**

* The age gap between the oldest and youngest member is 5 years. Cj was born on August 2003 and Luci was born on February 2008, on a leap year.
* Not counting families like Lucas and Austin and the Sanchez twins, the people who have known each other the longest would be Rin and Parker. They were classmates in *Kumon* in around 2007 or 2008, when they were only three years old.
	+ Jace and Cj were classmates in preschool, although they were both around 5 and 6. Jace was homeschooled in grade school, and then he became classmates with Michael in high school.
* Out of all members, Stefen, Lucas, Stefan, and Naomi are the only ones in a relationship, and as of now, Parker is in a break with his boyfriend. Kaela is known to also be single, although it is unclear whether she *actually* is.
* The Sanchez twins and Rin and Austin are the only members that share the same birthdays in the group.
	+ Cj's little brother, Carson, also share the same birthday as the twins.
* IT'Z most famous sub-unit is called "Core 6", most known as "Bardaguline", consisting of Cj, Michael, Parker, Austin, Rin, and Belle.
	+ There members are coincidentally the characters from the **Beyond Worlds** series, respectively; Julian Navarro, Kenji Katagiri, Cameron Mendes, Hiro Hamada, Léa Navarro, and Red Ordonia.
* Austin and Belle are the only members of IT'Z who don't go by their actual names in the group. "Austin" isn't his English name; his friends only gave him the nickname because he had been living in Austin, Texas, for three years. Lourdes Bello was called "Miss Belle" by Jace first and the nickname stuck.
* The SOTY (Story of the Year) are as follows:
	+ SILENT (2018)
	+ SILENT: Looking Glass (2019)
	+ The Last Polaroid (2020)
	+ The Arcana (2021)
	+ STRAY (2022)
		- **The Arcana**, **After Solstice**, and Beyond Worlds were almost tied for the 2021 SOTY, while **STRAY** won by a landslide against **Beyond Worlds: Azul**.

Parker has an older sister, while Cj, Austin, and Rin are all the oldest of two children in their family. Stefen and Stefan are the only twins and the only children of their parents, with Stefan being almost four minutes older.
	+ All firstborns of the group, Cj, Austin, and Rin's younger siblings have their birthdays on October.
		- Out of the three, Rin is the only one who doesn't wear prescription glasses.
