Identity, for idntt, is not a concept. It is something each member is actively in the process of figuring out – and doing so, unusually, in front of an audience that keeps getting bigger.

The group is now twenty members across three units, with four more members still to come before the full picture is complete. But idntt's premise is about more than that number. Fundamentally, idntt ask what happens when that volume of distinct people occupy the same space, collectively and individually answering the same question: who are you?

The members sitting with tmrw – kimjuho, kimseongjun, leejaeyoung, hanyejoon, towa, choitaein, and leejooheon – have each arrived at that question from a different direction. juho describes a process of constant self-interrogation: what do I love, what do I hate, where does my authenticity actually come from. seongjun is trying to find the balance between the version of himself fans respond to and the version he considers his best self. jaeyoung has made a decision to stop second-guessing whether he can do something and simply do it. jooheon spent six years as a trainee holding back his own instincts on the dancefloor; now, with his debut approaching, he has decided to stop. towa's version of the same journey is more specific.

As the only non-Korean member of idntt, language has been a physical barrier to self-expression – not just in interviews, but in the everyday moments that shape how you're understood by the people around you. He describes getting stronger as the process of being able to express yourself freely, not only on stage but in life.

Their new album <itsnotover> opens with the force of "Twenty", finds its footing in the smooth-grooved title track "Kids Return", and pushes into harder territory with the Phonk-driven "Run It Up". The unit track, “It’s Not Over,” captures the fleeting essence of a youthful summery experience through breezier sonics, a free-flowing rhythm, and vocal harmonizing which utilizes the unit’s higher vocal registers. Along the way, <itsnotover> maps the emotional extremes of being young and uncertain – the pull of something you can't resist in "Lovestruck", the fragile beauty of "Trainspotting", and the stubborn refusal to stay down that closes the record in "Boys Gonna Dive".

Their energy is more layered than reducing it to a single word like “confidence”; it is something more hard-won than that. It is closer to the particular kind of resolve that comes from knowing what you stand to lose if you don't protect it. taein puts it plainly: he is at his best when he is true to himself, and that is what he intends to keep. jooheon won't compromise his self-esteem. juho has decided to protect the people and memories that matter to him.
