According to several fans, Cheshire is the type of song that asks, “Hey, why so serious?"

The song tells its listeners to believe in themselves as it is a great way to deal with a lot of their issues. The song wants to convey that one should believe in themselves as there is no other answer to so many problems existing in the world.

Like Cheshire, every song on the album has a different message for the listeners. However, the one constant throughout the song is that listeners need to have confidence in themselves and shouldn't only be serious in their lives.

ITZY, who made their debut in 2019, is currently on their world tour named ITZY The First World Tour: Checkmate. The five-member group, which consists of Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, Lia, and Yuna, decided to promote Cheshire after the conclusion of their North American leg on November 13, 2022.

She has been following Kpop and Kdramas since the last 6 years and but has worked in the genre only in the last 3-4 years donning several several caps - social media intern, copywriter, article writer and academic writer.

Kirti likes to pen down insightful features based on Korean dramas, especially the 'Ending Explained' categories. It gives her the satisfaction of creating the most authentic content rather than simply replicating what media outlets generally do.

Her process of creating content is time-consuming, yet methodical; she prefers to use original sources of information, which in her case are Korean outlets. She watches entire episodes, writes them down, cross-checks/fact-checks the details/event timelines off the web and eventually creates her copy.

Kirti likes Lee Je-hoon, IU, and Kim Seon-ho since she feels that their dramas are inspiring and have good plotlines. When she is not writing about K-dramas, she can be found watching them.
