Pasting the Disclaimer here from the beginning just for a reminder. Disclaimer: It's well known the lineup of Iz*one was rigged by the producers of Produce48. I don't want to focus on it too much. Without knowing the true lineup it's always hard to say the public's true opinion. (I don't want to know it either) Iz*one was my favourite girl group, so I want to do this kind of video for them.

Edit: I was also wrong about Yena’s rankings, I did check I dunno how I got it wrong LOL I was sleepy when I made this, I apologise 😨 I love Yena 💔
All of them make a perfect group at the end. They fit for each other. But I also hope for another chance for the ones who were rigged, to once again prove themselves how worthy they are.
@@catalina3 Miyu was not rigged out of the lineup. So in this case, it only meant chowon and gaeun who has been confirmed to be rigged out of pd48 final line up.
Chaewon was literally a hidden gem. She is in the top 3 most popular members ni Japan and China along with Sakura and Minju (also the reason why Hybe wanted to recruit these 3).
honestly i think sakura's debut was secured the second she was announced as a contestant with her being one of the most popular members in all of akb there was just no way she wasn't going to debut
A bit late but honestly her debut secured the moment she centered Nekkoya. That stage/MV still legendary to this day especially to those who didn't even who she was or didn't followed jpop or watched the series at first.
Sakura was popular don’t get me wrong but her being the center of nekkoya secured her debut as she got quite popular after that I mean seriously look at her fancam views
Idk about all that. There were articles coming out against her once she was announced for the show. But once she landed Nekkoya center, she gained a LOT of fans and secured her debut.
I knew Yena was going to debut when she entered as the first group for the audition. The camera was always on her from the start. If you go back and watch the show you will see the heavy hand of the producers.
@kchae2kmin producers have favourites from all seasons. What they always go for is storyline, competition and of course reaction. I get the favoritism but they should still priorities all trainees' screen time not just the ones with the stories.
I find it so funny how chaeyeon and eunbi's reaction were shown during each other's first stages. This makes me think mnet already chose the main dancers of izone before the survival show.
in regards to wonyoung, with or without the rig she would've debuted but without it she wouldn't center. So the very very performance also served as her lock to be rank 1 imo. She showed off to be the perfect center and got locked in for it
that's not true though... wonyoung was always the most popular iz*one member with the korean gp, and gp tunes in more for final voting (even if they haven't been actively voting before then) so wonyoung was going to get 1st place either way lol. sakura was only popular w her fanbase..
One thing about wonyoung is she has a very very very good expression. Its really crazy how she can express the song very well. Expression is really hard for some idols to do while performing. Until now, i think she has one of the best expression when performing. At least thats what i think
If Hyewon focused on vocals over rap, the general reception to her skills would be better.

It could be also because they thought she suited better the iz*one concept rather than the rigged up members but being in iz*one help Chaewon a lot because she turned out a better performer !!!
@@nataliapluas4335 when people say stuff like this I get irritated. Chowon and Gaeun both fit the elegant concept. It’s more likely because Gaeun was older and Chowon didn’t fit the visual look they wanted because of her tanner skin. Both were talented and had the skill set/ ability to pull of izone’s concept
I actually think it is both her and Yuri. Yuri was not also that high in votings before the final. From what I knew the last episode before the finale a lot of Japaese girls were really getting the votes.
When I clicked on this video, I didn't look at the upload date so I thought this video was an older video and then Eleven started playing and I was shooketh.
I’d say that Yena’s debut was secured through her bits outside of the performances. Her variety skills always shone through during practice clips (e.g her helping Eunbi rap or just messing around during practice), and games (becoming the “strongest member” etc). Her incredible performances just solidified it.
That pop bottle skit she did in her audition probably sealed her debut. That took some guts to do and was really entertaining and every successful group needs a gutsy comedian for variety shows.
you might already know this but Chowon is now a Lightsum member( main vocal) so I'm glad that even if they didn't debut the other contestants still did great on the show because so many were talented.
They are just perfect fit to each other as a group it's just that the timing is not with them to be permanent. I miss this precious and talented girl being together. Wishing them a good luck whatever path they will go. I will just be here.
Also wanna say that contrary to popular belief Hyewon was definitely NOT rigged. After the Boombayah episode, Hyewon never left top 4. Most people knew she’d debut, the only reason why she left top 3 at the last elimination was because Chaeyeon had a sudden rise in popularity and pushed her down to rank 4.
but why was she so popular though? There were so many good-looking kids in pd48 with better skills, and that 4D character is so old and unattractive. I was always confused back then. At least, no one in my circle of friends cheered her.
@@hyprs I believe her popularity was due to her relatable nature and nice personality like she knew herself that she is not that good compared to the others but she would still try her hardest to feel up the gaps her team cannot fill even going as far as volunteering to be the rapper because no one wanted the position. she also have massive following from anime fans who found her very funny and likeable
@daydream i heard her fans deliberatey didnt vote for her so that she can go back to her Japanese group. That's kinda sad cause I really thought she is one of the J ace in the show
@@JustAnotherBlink she was rigged out I’m pretty sure. there’s an article about which members got rigged out during the eliminations and she was one of them. Mnet kicked her out even though she passed.
@@vNilleframboise but she kicked her out from where ? she got to the finals, they kicked her from debut? I think they purposely didn't let her debut because she was the only ace in her Japanese group at the time =(
@@vNilleframboise but she wasnt eliminated she was in the finals theres no eliminations in the finals they just reveal the number each one gets and they revel the debut group but they dont eliminate per se like in the other episodes. She was top 20. So by eliminated you mean she was in the debut group?
I'm so happy for Eunbi and Yuri's solo debuts but my most anticipated debut would be Sakura and Chaewon's Hybe GG because they are 2 of my favourite members in IZ*ONE. I was always going to look forward to and keep an eye on Yujin and Wonyoung's debut but I honestly didn't expect to love IVE as much as I do! All 6 members of IVE are really charming!
Yeah i'm glad iz*one members are doing well on their own, i think they are even doing better than the wannaone members. And about IVE, I couldn't agree more! I'm not really a fan of either Yujin or Wonyoung (i'm a fan of iz*one as a group with Sakura, Nako, and Yena as my favorite members). I just checked out IVE to see how the two of them are doing. I ddin't expect to get charmed Rei's voice and stuck being a fan of the group 😂
@@maliafreeberg5146 I'm so happy for Sakura and Chaewon (Ssamkkura) to re-debut!. And Chaewon rocking her short bob again but this time with bangs! I'm also very happy for Yena's solo debut as well as Yujin and Wonyoung (Annyeongz) to re-debut with Ive! Most excited with Wonyoung meeting her unnies on Music Bank!
Remember that Hitomi recently have a comeback with Akb48 with the song rumor and nako with HKT48 with the song Do love me? Is such a bop they're doing so well don't forget about our girls and Nako is know on a drama call kao dake sensei She's doing so well now all of the girls
back then i used to be very upset that hyewon happened to debut bc other contestants could have taken her spot. however after hyewon debuted in izone and other comebacks, it made me realize why hyewon ended up in the final line-up. in boombayah, the majority of the team were japanese and no one wanted to take the rap part because it was too quick for them which ended up with hyewon being the main rapper. it then dawned on me that hyewon is very willing to do anything to make her team survive during produce 48. throughout the series, you can see her slowly improving and in izone, she became alot better than what she did in pd48. although the final line-up was rigged, im glad they knew slightly what they were doing.
But his company did not manipulate the vote or give money to the mnet production team to make hyewon debut .and his company made statement, hyewon debut with fair and without manipulation votes .
I love Hyewon and her (honestly) lack of skill only makes people root for her and her story more. She's just super likable and funny (and of course the fact that she's a beauty doesn't hurt). Large groups can afford members who are there not for talent but just for their popularity and charisma, people need to get over themselves. But you're right, Hyewon is also reliable and has a good mentality.
For Chaewon, I think her turning point was the Into The New World performance for the position battle. She got 1st! She beat the main vocal of the group Heo Yunjin and Yabuki Nako, who had been a First Place candidate.
Agree, In like oh ah , chaewon vote is high too but Mnet only focus in goto moe . In into the new world , chaewon got high too even mnet only focus to yunjin and nako . And when she center Mnet only focus to Yuri and Goeun .
@@dinmjh2173 I know it right!?? That’s why everyone assume her to be rigged members, I mean, every members have a possibility to be a rigged members, just bcs she’s not famous by international fans, doesn’t mean she’s not famous in local fans, she already have a fanbase in a trainee days
Sakura's audition told me she's debuting. Why? She's the only one who performed like an idol and not as a trainee. Her vocals and everything there wasnt perfect, except her stage presence
If I am gonna be honest, I was hell confused as to why she got an A. Not saying that she didnt deserve it but it wasn't "entirely" deserved cuz I can see stage precense but that's it.
i would also like to point out in sakura's case, i knew she would be a huge deal from the very beginning, with so much backstory and her already huge popularity in japan, it was obvious she would be a member of iz*one and mnet would push to show her on screen as much as possible, after all, iz*one was supposed to promote and be loved by both korea and japan
I like izone as it is , i would not expect izone to have any other member cuz these 12 r made for eachother ❤️ I miss them as ot12 but let's support their future activities and stream glassy door and eleven
I really like wonyoung cuteness when she's in iz*one. Her gestures, expressions and her cute face looks more fresh and something you will like to keep her forever. Chaeyeon and minju were my bias. I miss everyone and misses iz*one so much
Though I was kinda sad that only 3 idols from jline made to the final 12, in the end I am happy with the line up. I love all the girls and their chemistry together. Their friendship and being chaotic crackheads. I miss them all together but I am happy everyone's growing on their own paths and their closeness is still intact.
Hitomi's is definitely Very Very Very when she taught the dance to everyone, Hyewon's is Don't Know You when she improved her rapping, and Yuri's is either Energetic or To Reach You.
I dont think Hyewon is the one who get rigged by producer to come in. She was no one until she showed how kind she is and gain popularity in Korea. I'm not blaming her or hate her, this is a popularity show. For me, I think producer puts Yuri and Chaewon into the group because they want empower in singing aside from Eunbi and Yena. I did not blame those two too, I like 12 of them, but the things that producer has done give them a sin as well as popularity through 2.5 years. I want they are doing well and do not decline their confidence and self-esteem.
i have slightly different opinion from you. Minju and Wonyoung locked their debut with Touch & Side to Side. For Yuri, i say more of her vocal colour and being main vocal material for an idol group. Sakura was a general selection centre contender in AKB48, in a group with 300-400 members. AKB48 has handshake sales(similar to fansign/Hi-Touch) and Sakura has been 1 of the 1st to sell out her slots for a while.
@@hipployta if Jurina was able to compete she’s a guaranteed debut member. Like, they have pushed members from AKB and HKT, don’t you think Jurina as the everlasting center of SKE won’t debut? As for Miru, they thought they could push her as new center of NMB, but alas 48 groups has lost their momentum
@@alizlovescherry Jurina knew the show is just not it, dropped out, and saved herself from getting rigged out. I dont think akp will let 2 of their aces out for 2.5 years without able to promote with akb
I had not seen produce 48 before meeting iz * one but when I did I noticed that they fit very well as a group, their versatility from the purest to the wildest and knowing how to intertwine very well as a group in addition to the talent from the vocal, presence and dance skills were surprising and new for me, being a rookie at that time made me want to know more and support them ❤
I know this vid is 1 year ago but just wanted to say that hitomi became famous after the program shown the clip of her re-evaluation. From C, she was promoted to A-class. (same with nako, from F to A but yeah, nako gained more fans because of her love whisper perf). Moreover, she gained attention because in the practice of very very very, she taught the choreo to her members and was in-charge of their choreo positions. Viewers, especially korean viewers, were amazed at that time since it was unusual for a japanese trainee to lead the choreo of the group.
I miss kkura and chaewon. Hybe!! Please give us something soon, or their hype might go down especially when IVE doing so well right now and that contributed by anhyoung being busy while preparing for debut so the group will be relevant and on top of everyone's mind
I respect Wonyoung and Sakura for being top tier talent and owning their roles within their groups. They both seem comfortable and less stressed with Yujin and Chaewon as their group leads.
gosh i remember fighting like my life was on the line for stan twt to support chaewon LMAO. i completely fell in love with her during the show, she didn't have a loud personality or crazy goddess-like visuals like some of the other trainees but it was really nice to see how she took on every challenge and executed them perfectly on stage. istg she was one of the most balanced trainees in the show and it's just exciting to see how she'll grow, you know? it was frustrating that not a lot of people were supporting her to reach the final lineup and simply accepted she was gonna be eliminated. i'm in no way complimenting mnet for manipulating the group but chaewon eventually proved that she deserved a spot in izone. now i hope hybe doesn't mess her up because she is one of 4th gen's most precious gems
I know this wasn’t your main point but I think Chaewon is the prettiest member and an underrated visual in general (although not sure if this is still the case as she a was very popular during fiesta era).
coming back here after lesseras debut, just before antifragile to say that you were an absolute visionary for seeing her potential. she is just WOW. girl was a diamond in the rough the entire time. and her career post izone is only just starting!!
I think it’s the ranking during their signal song that became the determining factor for hitomi to debut since she’s one of the most talented japanese trainees
At first I was hating on Chaewon cause I've never seen her in produce 48 but when I saw her dance skills I was very schoked and she was my bias for 3 years
She did well in all the performances but mnet did not give her screen time. For example, during the Into the new world performance, she ranked first and did great but mnet chose to focus on yunjin and nako fighting for the main vocal part.
I kinda guessed yena and hitomi would make it into the lineup since their introduction video where they guess the stuff inside the box lol they were chaotic good.. and also yena knew how to get herself some screen time, she actually got a lot of them
For me, Chaewon proved herself when she was the head of into a new world. For Nako, she had NO strain in that run and I wish they would have given her more of them in IzOne
I knew Sakura would debut from the first time she performed, I remember she was very determined on breaking the stereotypes about Japanese trainees which she did!!
Another iconic moment for Nako was when she was willing to give up the main vocal position although she got the most votes from her group! It really shows off her big heart personality ❤
I thought Chaewon would debut from the beginning, I always thought she was just the perfect full package idol and didn’t necessarily need a stand-out moment to debut because she was just consistently amazing and her vocals in ITNW were the most beautiful thing I’ve heard. I was honestly really surprised when it was revealed she didn’t get in just by votes. I guess people only lazily look for the standout moments that mnet feeds them rather than looking out for skilled trainees themselves
The moment I knew Chaewon will debut is when I listened to her (beautifully) singing Into The New World in practice and then winning 1st place in the team, against Nako and Yunjin. I knew from that moment that she had the potetial to debut, so I was thinking it is only a matter of time until she reaches top 12. I was surprised it only happened in the final, but I wasn't suprised that she made it and became a loved member in IZ*ONE. She was always great, guys!
i never watched produce48, only a few clips, but as soon as i saw wonyoung i already knew she was gonna win and probably be super famous one day. her being the center of 'very very very' made her stand out a lot, she does really cute facial expresssions. now, she's literally everywhere.
Sakura was dead popular that time internationally. In our circle, we particularly "predicted" sakura as first, chaeyeon as second and i remember being so mad that wonyoung came first. But as the group was made into reality, the talents they showcased for almost two years proves how mucb they deserved what they had in izone. Glad i got to see their growth as artists.
And 👑Han Chowon said debut, 👑💅since her performance of Boombayah.🔥 Oh wait she was rigged out of the group, girl deserve better. Cause her amazing vocals, stage presence and lidership save her group and she made Hyeiwon carrer.
Side notes: - With how much Yena was pushed variety wise in the season I had no doubt she was gonna debut, for comparison it'd be like Sohye not debuting in I.O.I after comedically carrying half the episodes - Chowon was probably when she redeemed herself and the You're in love performance with her high note (even if it was literal scraps) - Gaeul was probs when she was introduced, much like with Yujin, when people found out this was her last chance that's when her spot was sealed (but lmao Mnet said nO)
idk something abt Chaeyeon just seem like its right she never disappoints when it comes to the things given to her, like when she didnt became center in the dance evaluation or ended up being in team 1000% instead of I am, she still gave satisfying performances and showed so much of her skills
For eunbi, she was a lock the moment her leadership was shown, so basically the first perf. Sakura is a lock since she signed up, unlike jurina who have stronger features, sakura fits the cute idol standard more thats why she was favored over jurina to basically be the japanese representative member. Hyewon was a lock since boombayah, her sacrifice to do rapping together with her mother-daughter relationship with minami was her ticket to the group. Yena was a lock since episode 1. The amount of screentime she had is so high, there was no way she wasn't debutting. Chaeyeon is a lock the moment she sifned up for pd48. She basically get the votes from all JYP stans, together with all the people that watched her since kpopstar and sixteen. Chaewon was honestly a surprise to people who only watched the show, but people who saw her perform live tells a different story. She got the highest onsite votes for her team in itnw, a performance where yunjin and nako were expected to go first and second. That alone shows what we saw in the episodes werent everything about her. Minju's perf was right on in the vid, 1000% is basically her getting her confidence, the only thing she needed to improve on. Hitomi got her lock on the evaluation of the nekkoya perf imo, her improvement in such a small time helped her gain popularity, then it just went up from there. Same goes for nako, but nako took it a step further and hard carried her team to win the love whisper perf, doing yuju's highnote of death like it was nothing. Yuri tbh, she was more of a surprise for me than chaewon was. She still have fans from her idol school days, plus the lack of popular main vocalists in the final got her the spot. Yujin was an all rounder, the twin towers, her and wonyoung, were hella popular from the start of the show. Yujin also got her contact lens commercial buff which was strong for the korean fans apparently. As for wonyoung, she was built up as the center all throughout, she was getting in no matter what.
Thank you for saying Iz*One was your favourite group, it was mine too 😭 I was disappointed at first because I felt like all the girls of the top 20 deserved to debut (all the girls actually), and I thought "where are the Japanese trainees?", But I followed Iz*One with love till the end and they proved that even though the show was rigged, they all deserved and were right for Iz*one

If they know we're doing so there is no point to create a (fake) reality show just go to their agencies and recruit them.
I hate when people say this omg
They are just perfect fit to each other as a group it's just that the timing is not with them to be permanent. I miss this precious and talented girl being together. Wishing them a good luck whatever path they will go. I will just be here.
Also wanna say that contrary to popular belief Hyewon was definitely NOT rigged. After the Boombayah episode, Hyewon never left top 4. Most people knew she’d debut, the only reason why she left top 3 at the last elimination was because Chaeyeon had a sudden rise in popularity and pushed her down to rank 4.
but why was she so popular though? There were so many good-looking kids in pd48 with better skills, and that 4D character is so old and unattractive. I was always confused back then. At least, no one in my circle of friends cheered her.
@@hyprs I believe her popularity was due to her relatable nature and nice personality
like she knew herself that she is not that good compared to the others but she would still try her hardest to feel up the gaps her team cannot fill even going as far as volunteering to be the rapper because no one wanted the position.
she also have massive following from anime fans who found her very funny and likeable

Miru's Rollin' Rollin' performance really made me think she will debut for sure.. i couldnt believe that she didnt make it and ranked 20
@daydream i heard her fans deliberatey didnt vote for her so that she can go back to her Japanese group. That's kinda sad cause I really thought she is one of the J ace in the show
@@JustAnotherBlink she was rigged out I’m pretty sure. there’s an article about which members got rigged out during the eliminations and she was one of them. Mnet kicked her out even though she passed.
@@vNilleframboise but she kicked her out from where ? she got to the finals, they kicked her from debut? I think they purposely didn't let her debut because she was the only ace in her Japanese group at the time =(
@@robertacanales they rigged her votes so she didn’t pass the eliminations even though she was supposed to
@@vNilleframboise but she wasnt eliminated she was in the finals theres no eliminations in the finals they just reveal the number each one gets and they revel the debut group but they dont eliminate per se like in the other episodes. She was top 20. So by eliminated you mean she was in the debut group?
I love how WIZ*ONES are still active despite of IZ*ONE'S disbandment. I miss them sm and I'm really happy to see contents about them. 🥰🥰
I'm so happy for Eunbi and Yuri's solo debuts but my most anticipated debut would be Sakura and Chaewon's Hybe GG because they are 2 of my favourite members in IZ*ONE. I was always going to look forward to and keep an eye on Yujin and Wonyoung's debut but I honestly didn't expect to love IVE as much as I do! All 6 members of IVE are really charming!
Yeah i'm glad iz*one members are doing well on their own, i think they are even doing better than the wannaone members. And about IVE, I couldn't agree more! I'm not really a fan of either Yujin or Wonyoung (i'm a fan of iz*one as a group with Sakura, Nako, and Yena as my favorite members). I just checked out IVE to see how the two of them are doing. I ddin't expect to get charmed Rei's voice and stuck being a fan of the group 😂
IZ*ONE will never be forgotten like IOI
Yena debuted and her song is so catchy
Curious on what you think rn
@@maliafreeberg5146 I'm so happy for Sakura and Chaewon (Ssamkkura) to re-debut!. And Chaewon rocking her short bob again but this time with bangs! I'm also very happy for Yena's solo debut as well as Yujin and Wonyoung (Annyeongz) to re-debut with Ive! Most excited with Wonyoung meeting her unnies on Music Bank!
Eunbi's audition: "oof she has a rly high chance of debuting"
Eunbi's Rumor Stage: "okay she's debuting"
my thoughts lol
Agree. She really killed Rumor
I feel like Sorry not Sorry Eunbi already did that but yes, Rumor Eunbi best Eunbi.
She really did her Best since Day one
Remember that Hitomi recently have a comeback with Akb48 with the song rumor and nako with HKT48 with the song Do love me? Is such a bop they're doing so well don't forget about our girls and Nako is know on a drama call kao dake sensei She's doing so well now all of the girls
When yujin and wonyoung started together and ended up staying together
Jo Yuri’s moment for me was her energetic performance. It is ICONIC!!
i honestly think she stood out a lot more with to reach you, she just ate this song
She stole Chowon and Gaeun's position😓
@@xyhey but is not Yuri fault,his company fault 😭
@@xyhey dayum shes whole 1 person and she stole 2 positions?
@@xyhey I feel sad for those 2 but I can't really see IZONE now without Yuri
back then i used to be very upset that hyewon happened to debut bc other contestants could have taken her spot. however after hyewon debuted in izone and other comebacks, it made me realize why hyewon ended up in the final line-up. in boombayah, the majority of the team were japanese and no one wanted to take the rap part because it was too quick for them which ended up with hyewon being the main rapper. it then dawned on me that hyewon is very willing to do anything to make her team survive during produce 48. throughout the series, you can see her slowly improving and in izone, she became alot better than what she did in pd48.
although the final line-up was rigged, im glad they knew slightly what they were doing.
But his company did not manipulate the vote or give money to the mnet production team to make hyewon debut .and his company made statement, hyewon debut with fair and without manipulation votes .
And all 3 Japanese member make a debut fairly without making a manipulated votes or give money for team prodouction mnet to make they debut
I love Hyewon and her (honestly) lack of skill only makes people root for her and her story more. She's just super likable and funny (and of course the fact that she's a beauty doesn't hurt). Large groups can afford members who are there not for talent but just for their popularity and charisma, people need to get over themselves. But you're right, Hyewon is also reliable and has a good mentality.
Rigged or not Sakura is still in both line ups, her hard work and stage presence are def there to back her up
For Chaewon, I think her turning point was the Into The New World performance for the position battle. She got 1st! She beat the main vocal of the group Heo Yunjin and Yabuki Nako, who had been a First Place candidate.
Agree, In like oh ah , chaewon vote is high too but Mnet only focus in goto moe . In into the new world , chaewon got high too even mnet only focus to yunjin and nako . And when she center Mnet only focus to Yuri and Goeun .
Yass chaewon always got the high vote. But no one noticed :)
@@dinmjh2173 cause mnet like to focus on the beef whenever there is
@@dinmjh2173 I know it right!?? That’s why everyone assume her to be rigged members, I mean, every members have a possibility to be a rigged members, just bcs she’s not famous by international fans, doesn’t mean she’s not famous in local fans, she already have a fanbase in a trainee days
Now she is debuting with Yunjin
Chaeyeon: The exact moment would be in Instruction, specifically when even her hair outdanced all the competition.
Sakura's audition told me she's debuting. Why? She's the only one who performed like an idol and not as a trainee. Her vocals and everything there wasnt perfect, except her stage presence
A reach😂 there's so many contestants who did exceptional job than her.
she sucked during the whole program she debuted because mnet loved her LMFAO
@@unknownbliss3342 let us praise Sakura in peace
Girl no, i love kkura but her performance didn’t deserve an A even yurina did better than her.
If I am gonna be honest, I was hell confused as to why she got an A. Not saying that she didnt deserve it but it wasn't "entirely" deserved cuz I can see stage precense but that's it.
i would also like to point out in sakura's case, i knew she would be a huge deal from the very beginning, with so much backstory and her already huge popularity in japan, it was obvious she would be a member of iz*one and mnet would push to show her on screen as much as possible, after all, iz*one was supposed to promote and be loved by both korea and japan
For me Jo Yuri came after the energetic performance
I like izone as it is , i would not expect izone to have any other member cuz these 12 r made for eachother ❤️ I miss them as ot12 but let's support their future activities and stream glassy door and eleven
Thanks to iz*one I got to know Chaewon and I love her so much... I want to follow her re-debut with a new group and keep watching her performances
I really like wonyoung cuteness when she's in iz*one. Her gestures, expressions and her cute face looks more fresh and something you will like to keep her forever.
Chaeyeon and minju were my bias.
I miss everyone and misses iz*one so much
Though I was kinda sad that only 3 idols from jline made to the final 12, in the end I am happy with the line up. I love all the girls and their chemistry together. Their friendship and being chaotic crackheads. I miss them all together but I am happy everyone's growing on their own paths and their closeness is still intact.
The way they would be so famous rn 😭 especially with how they all of their grown up looks now!
Hitomi's is definitely Very Very Very when she taught the dance to everyone, Hyewon's is Don't Know You when she improved her rapping, and Yuri's is either Energetic or To Reach You.
Agree with Hiichan. She had a storyline that she was able to learn choreo for Veryx3 faster thatn korean trainees and taught them
Hitomi got instant recognition as the jline dance sensei during nekkoia task ... very3 only cemented that
Yuri while great she is not at a rank where she might debut. At that time, just saying.
Coming from 2022 you were 100% right chaewon was a hidden gem lol
I dont think Hyewon is the one who get rigged by producer to come in. She was no one until she showed how kind she is and gain popularity in Korea. I'm not blaming her or hate her, this is a popularity show. For me, I think producer puts Yuri and Chaewon into the group because they want empower in singing aside from Eunbi and Yena. I did not blame those two too, I like 12 of them, but the things that producer has done give them a sin as well as popularity through 2.5 years. I want they are doing well and do not decline their confidence and self-esteem.
Hyewon not one of the rigged member. She passes the vote by herself
I think Hyewon even had a higher rank in the original ranking
Hyewon was a nobody? Maam are we watching the same show? 🤥
she wasnt rigged
@@littlesnow8821 Yeah, I also think like you
i have slightly different opinion from you. Minju and Wonyoung locked their debut with Touch & Side to Side. For Yuri, i say more of her vocal colour and being main vocal material for an idol group. Sakura was a general selection centre contender in AKB48, in a group with 300-400 members. AKB48 has handshake sales(similar to fansign/Hi-Touch) and Sakura has been 1 of the 1st to sell out her slots for a while.
Sakura was a media senbstsu center. She never won the general election so this isn't a good comparison
Little Wonyoung SERVED on side to side, regardless of ppl thinking it was "appropriate" or not.
@@hipployta if Jurina was able to compete she’s a guaranteed debut member. Like, they have pushed members from AKB and HKT, don’t you think Jurina as the everlasting center of SKE won’t debut?
As for Miru, they thought they could push her as new center of NMB, but alas 48 groups has lost their momentum
@@alizlovescherry Jurina knew the show is just not it, dropped out, and saved herself from getting rigged out.
I dont think akp will let 2 of their aces out for 2.5 years without able to promote with akb
@@uc6758 Jurina dropped out from everything tho, it’s her health problem, she didn’t even able to shoot for Sentimental Train..
i have always rooted for sakura since day 1 but yena also made me root for her ever since i saw her very3x fancam.
I had not seen produce 48 before meeting iz * one but when I did I noticed that they fit very well as a group, their versatility from the purest to the wildest and knowing how to intertwine very well as a group in addition to the talent from the vocal, presence and dance skills were surprising and new for me, being a rookie at that time made me want to know more and support them ❤
short hair jo yuri was what made me fall in love with her also now she has short hair too hshfhdsfhst iconic af
I know this vid is 1 year ago but just wanted to say that hitomi became famous after the program shown the clip of her re-evaluation. From C, she was promoted to A-class. (same with nako, from F to A but yeah, nako gained more fans because of her love whisper perf). Moreover, she gained attention because in the practice of very very very, she taught the choreo to her members and was in-charge of their choreo positions. Viewers, especially korean viewers, were amazed at that time since it was unusual for a japanese trainee to lead the choreo of the group.
a proud wizone passing thru, go go Iz*one!
I miss kkura and chaewon. Hybe!! Please give us something soon, or their hype might go down especially when IVE doing so well right now and that contributed by anhyoung being busy while preparing for debut so the group will be relevant and on top of everyone's mind
IZ*ONE forever legends
I respect Wonyoung and Sakura for being top tier talent and owning their roles within their groups. They both seem comfortable and less stressed with Yujin and Chaewon as their group leads.
gosh i remember fighting like my life was on the line for stan twt to support chaewon LMAO.
i completely fell in love with her during the show, she didn't have a loud personality or crazy goddess-like visuals like some of the other trainees but it was really nice to see how she took on every challenge and executed them perfectly on stage.
istg she was one of the most balanced trainees in the show and it's just exciting to see how she'll grow, you know?
it was frustrating that not a lot of people were supporting her to reach the final lineup and simply accepted she was gonna be eliminated.
i'm in no way complimenting mnet for manipulating the group but chaewon eventually proved that she deserved a spot in izone.
now i hope hybe doesn't mess her up because she is one of 4th gen's most precious gems
sad she had to proove she deserved a spot, every contestant did :( i hope good things come for chaewon since there is currently a long long drought
I know this wasn’t your main point but I think Chaewon is the prettiest member and an underrated visual in general (although not sure if this is still the case as she a was very popular during fiesta era).
I need HYBE to hurry up and debit her and Sakura bc I missed them so damn
much 😭
coming back here after lesseras debut, just before antifragile to say that you were an absolute visionary for seeing her potential. she is just WOW. girl was a diamond in the rough the entire time. and her career post izone is only just starting!!
omg now she absolutely SLAYS in lesserafim omg you were right to see her potential
Chaeyeon so talented
LMAO THE CHAEWON MOMENT
I think it’s the ranking during their signal song that became the determining factor for hitomi to debut since she’s one of the most talented japanese trainees
I didn't watch the show, so I've just seen these performances for the first time. Eunbi was simply amazing! No wonder whe went solo.
watching this video made me realize how much i miss chaewon
Yena I knew she would debut also from the start and especially her Sorry Not Sorry performance
At first I was hating on Chaewon cause I've never seen her in produce 48 but when I saw her dance skills I was very schoked and she was my bias for 3 years
Just look at her now big company like hybe recruiting her
She did well in all the performances but mnet did not give her screen time. For example, during the Into the new world performance, she ranked first and did great but mnet chose to focus on yunjin and nako fighting for the main vocal part.
@@shinyeee1709 she sounds angelic in her itnw fancam
yena and eunbi were my favorites and i am very happy they're both soloists now! i loved door by eunbi and now i am waiting for yena's debut
Yena placed 9th on the first ranking announcement BTW 💛😉
Yup! i mentioned she was in the top 12 in the first ranking 😋 I think its because she gave a lot of good reactions to auditions?
Minju!!! Minju really lacks confidence but she's really hard working too. I just love her soooo much. My Minju angel..
I kinda guessed yena and hitomi would make it into the lineup since their introduction video where they guess the stuff inside the box lol they were chaotic good.. and also yena knew how to get herself some screen time, she actually got a lot of them
Sakuras movements were so smooth and satisfying, they all make such a great group.
For me, Chaewon proved herself when she was the head of into a new world.
For Nako, she had NO strain in that run and I wish they would have given her more of them in IzOne
just the intro of this video literally brings back all my memories of produce 48 and iz*one. 😭😭
Yena’s “Talk talk talk baby” is really my favourite her moment, really powerful
i was thinking the same thing
Wonyoung got dragged to hell when the finale happened but she was always perfect as center and totally deserved her position.
unrelated but i love the little innocent move and face yuri does every time after hitting the highest note ever 😂❤
the moment sakura set her foot in the pd48 building we all knew she would debut lol
i honestly think Yuri stood out a lot more with to reach you, she just ate this song
I knew Sakura would debut from the first time she performed, I remember she was very determined on breaking the stereotypes about Japanese trainees which she did!!
Another iconic moment for Nako was when she was willing to give up the main vocal position although she got the most votes from her group! It really shows off her big heart personality ❤
I've always knew that ye a were going to be in the final line up. something abt her make my eyes glued to her in every performances.
I thought Chaewon would debut from the beginning, I always thought she was just the perfect full package idol and didn’t necessarily need a stand-out moment to debut because she was just consistently amazing and her vocals in ITNW were the most beautiful thing I’ve heard. I was honestly really surprised when it was revealed she didn’t get in just by votes. I guess people only lazily look for the standout moments that mnet feeds them rather than looking out for skilled trainees themselves
The moment I knew Chaewon will debut is when I listened to her (beautifully) singing Into The New World in practice and then winning 1st place in the team, against Nako and Yunjin. I knew from that moment that she had the potetial to debut, so I was thinking it is only a matter of time until she reaches top 12. I was surprised it only happened in the final, but I wasn't suprised that she made it and became a loved member in IZ*ONE. She was always great, guys!
i never watched produce48, only a few clips, but as soon as i saw wonyoung i already knew she was gonna win and probably be super famous one day. her being the center of 'very very very' made her stand out a lot, she does really cute facial expresssions. now, she's literally everywhere.
we knew chaeyeon as soon as she started her performence aka the highnote which was before the freestyle
Sakura was dead popular that time internationally. In our circle, we particularly "predicted" sakura as first, chaeyeon as second and i remember being so mad that wonyoung came first. But as the group was made into reality, the talents they showcased for almost two years proves how mucb they deserved what they had in izone. Glad i got to see their growth as artists.
I knew Chaewon will definitely make it since she'd got 1st ranking in almost every round.
And 👑Han Chowon said debut, 👑💅since her performance of Boombayah.🔥
Oh wait she was rigged out of the group, girl deserve better.
Cause her amazing vocals, stage presence and lidership save her group and she made Hyeiwon carrer.
Side notes:
- With how much Yena was pushed variety wise in the season I had no doubt she was gonna debut, for comparison it'd be like Sohye not debuting in I.O.I after comedically carrying half the episodes
- Chowon was probably when she redeemed herself and the You're in love performance with her high note (even if it was literal scraps)
- Gaeul was probs when she was introduced, much like with Yujin, when people found out this was her last chance that's when her spot was sealed (but lmao Mnet said nO)
I used to be a huge little mix fan(that phase is still ongoing for me lol) so the amount of lm covers made me happy
iz*one perfect group
AS A HITOMI BIASED, She stood out on the 2nd evaluation. She was placed in C but the judges noticed her during the evaluation for Nekoya song.
idk something abt Chaeyeon just seem like its right she never disappoints when it comes to the things given to her, like when she didnt became center in the dance evaluation or ended up being in team 1000% instead of I am, she still gave satisfying performances and showed so much of her skills
the weirdest thing is I never liked chaewon before. She didnt stand out to me but she's my bias now in her new group. Literally hidden gem
i actually find it pretty cool that the clothing styles they had in p48 transitioned into signature iz*one style (namely you’re in love)
For eunbi, she was a lock the moment her leadership was shown, so basically the first perf. Sakura is a lock since she signed up, unlike jurina who have stronger features, sakura fits the cute idol standard more thats why she was favored over jurina to basically be the japanese representative member. Hyewon was a lock since boombayah, her sacrifice to do rapping together with her mother-daughter relationship with minami was her ticket to the group. Yena was a lock since episode 1. The amount of screentime she had is so high, there was no way she wasn't debutting. Chaeyeon is a lock the moment she sifned up for pd48. She basically get the votes from all JYP stans, together with all the people that watched her since kpopstar and sixteen. Chaewon was honestly a surprise to people who only watched the show, but people who saw her perform live tells a different story. She got the highest onsite votes for her team in itnw, a performance where yunjin and nako were expected to go first and second. That alone shows what we saw in the episodes werent everything about her. Minju's perf was right on in the vid, 1000% is basically her getting her confidence, the only thing she needed to improve on. Hitomi got her lock on the evaluation of the nekkoya perf imo, her improvement in such a small time helped her gain popularity, then it just went up from there. Same goes for nako, but nako took it a step further and hard carried her team to win the love whisper perf, doing yuju's highnote of death like it was nothing. Yuri tbh, she was more of a surprise for me than chaewon was. She still have fans from her idol school days, plus the lack of popular main vocalists in the final got her the spot. Yujin was an all rounder, the twin towers, her and wonyoung, were hella popular from the start of the show. Yujin also got her contact lens commercial buff which was strong for the korean fans apparently. As for wonyoung, she was built up as the center all throughout, she was getting in no matter what.
I knew Choi Yena was gonna make it bc she was born to be idol. Every single one in Izone has idol material energy
I really miss Iz*one 😭
They’re all so perfect in a group together, but they’re also amazing in their own respective paths!!! seriously a group of gems
When i saw Won Young and Yujin i already know that they will debut
iz*one was also my favorite group from the moment they debuted till the very end 😭😭😭 even now, 3 years after their disband i sill miss them so much 😭
Sakura and Chaewon debuted as Le sserafim member under hybe labels
Wonyoung and Yujin debuted as Ive member under starship entertainment.
I was so happy when hyewon got to debut
Thank you for saying Iz*One was your favourite group, it was mine too 😭 I was disappointed at first because I felt like all the girls of the top 20 deserved to debut (all the girls actually), and I thought "where are the Japanese trainees?", But I followed Iz*One with love till the end and they proved that even though the show was rigged, they all deserved and were right for Iz*one
the way i gasped when you show wonyoung ending post in very3 then suddenly wonyoung part in ive eleven at the end showing how much she change..
It's right for chaewon to enter izone even it's rigged just look at her a big company like hybe hunting her from woollim
yas, that says talent
I thought she was woollim's investment to hybe
Thank you so much for doing this!!!! Have been wanting this for ages!! I saw Nizi and Kep1er but never an Iz*One version… thanks!!!
Eunbi and Chaeyeon slay!!
And pls support all izone members!!!
That clip of Nako makes me so happy too ^^ love when they are genuinely enjoying on stage
So glad wonyoung got in iz*one ❤️🔥
Hitomi trying to teach some trainees makes me feel like she's gonna be one of japanese trainee that will debut, so she become my pick ❤
