Hiya everyone! A casual listener here.

I just stumbled across a video of Itzy performing Imaginary Friend some odd years ago and two or three members were crying. Audience, also crying. Commenters apparently also crying.

And I was a little confused cos yeah, it's a nice song and all but why are we crying? As I said, I'm a casual listener (or rather, I listen to the music a lot but I haven't been involved in the kpop community since like...2012 or something) so I feel like I'm totally missing some context here.

Google just told me it's mostly to do with the melody and vibes, but the reactions didn't really fit a simple 'this song is so nice'.

Is there a story to it that I'm missing and if so, would anyone share?

Thanks!
