their disbandment is my roman empire, they are my ult grup i collect their merch, albums and literaly i promised myself that if i ever bought a lightstick it weuld be theirs, and i did. Anyways, their songs are really bittersweet to me but make me remember my begginings in kpop when they just debuted, :,)
The group that should have been next to Twice for how popular they were (I mean it in a good way ofc) like no other group was even close to Twice, this was the only one (in my opinion). I will forever miss IZ*ONE, I'm just glad that some of the girls re-debut in other groups, just now we got Hitomi re-debuting in SAY MY NAME, and everytime I see her, I just get emotional, because I know how much she wanted to be an Idol. The girls are still in contact too, for what Hitomi said, they have a group chat with all the members and they often talk to eachother, plus some of the former members still hangout with eachother too! I'm just happy that they are still friends!
@@ravenclaw17 I didn't mention it in the comment because I thought that people would understand what I'm referring to but I guess not. I'm referring to larger groups like Twice, IZ*ONE, Loona etc.. Of course BP are the biggest GG out there, but BP and Twice are not even close in terms of group members and also concepts, but Twice and IZ*ONE are similar in both of these 2 things, that's why I was saying that IZ*ONE was the only group to be next to Twice in terms of popularity.
Legit like specially in japan twice and izone were the most popular groups like whenever u asked a local about their fav group they'd always say either twice or izone
Panorama was their disband song. It’s their story. Wizones were really heartbroken during their disbandment but here we are supporting survival show groups again like ZB1, Kepler, and Unis. Hahaha
Izone was so solid as a group. They hv everything. Visuals, vocals, popularity, amazing teamwork & good sense of humor which is good for variety show. The potential is endless
Always pumped for new reaction to IZ*ONE. Such a great and iconic group that was disbanded too soon. Please react to all their MV and dance practices if possible. Their synchronization is among the best in KPOP. 14:17 That's Jo Yuri, the main vocalist who will appear in Season 2 of The Squid Games.
The girl that you noticed doing the high notes is the same in all the MVs and her name is Jo Yuri. She's a soloist and an actress. She will be participating in Squid Game 2. 🧡
After the Iz*One, all members became successful. -Wonyoung and Yujin became members of Ive. As Yujin took the role of the leader and Wonyoung as the center. -Sakura and Chaewon became members of Le Sserafim. Chaewon became the leader. -Hitomi went back to Japan and shortly after debuted in 2024 again as the leader of SayMyName. -Nako went back to Japan. Did a short stint as J-Pop idol before graduating and became an actress. -Eunbi,Yena, Yuri and Chaeyeon became soloist with Yuri getting acting projects here and there sometimes. -Minju and Hyewon became a fully pledge actresses. Minju getting a huge role recently and Hyewon making some noise in a advertisment (Wacky Willy). Other groups just dissolves after a temporary stint and becoming unknown but Iz*One is different.
Here is a quick recap of the IZ*ONE girls u might not know: Chaeyeon - Sister of Chaeryeong from ITZY. Also an amazing dancer like her sister. She is a soloist now. Her music is catchy and typically has a difficult choreo. Yuri - The main vocalist of IZ*ONE that u kept asking about. She is also now a soloist. She has an amazing voice but I wish I liked her solo music more. But that is just my opinion. Yena - She was the ace of the group. She was the rapper in the first MV but she also had a lot of the same vocal lines as Yuri the main vocal. Very talented all rounder. She is also a soloist (probably the most popular out of the 4 that went solo). She has a cute quirky concept which is really working for her. Eunbi - She was the leader of IZ*ONE and the oldest. For some perspective she is 9 years older than Wonyoung. She is the last of the soloists now. I enjoy her solo music it’s more mature than the rest which makes sense (she is 29 now) Hitomi - she was one of the Japanese members with the higher voices. She went back to Japan and did some J-Pop stuff. She actually just re-debuted in the kpop world last month with the group SAY MY NAME. Nako - She is the other Japanese member with a high voice. She also went back to Japan and did some J-Pop before moving on to being an actor in Japan. Minju - Minju’s role in the group was the visual and back up center to Wonyoung along with Sakura. If Wonyoung was center for the 1st chorus. Minju or Sakura was center for the 2nd. She had a nice lower register which helped balance all the high vocals. She said that IZ*ONE would be her only group she would be in and has stuck to that. Since disbandment she has worked has a model and actress. Hyewon - in IZ*ONE Hyewon was sadly treated like an extra. She typically got the least amount of center time and lines. Which is weird given that she was part of the visual line (Sakura, Minju and Hyewon). Since disbandment she has released music on her own, focused on acting and has a successful UA-cam channel.
Totally understandable takes, Watch some clips they are so chaotic! i think they are, and please correct me if im wrong, this is the first and only girl group that had so much success (this kind of success) coming from a survival show. Produce48, unfortunately the producers of the show are now in jail so even though they wanted to renew contract they weren't able to. it was also alledged that show was rigged. by the way bro, thats 16:3326:08 Jo Yuri the main vocalist . an actress and solo artist now 😊 and the rapper was Choi Yena the most successful soloist amongst the group. The Leader is also their ace - Kwon Eunbi. I also saw some netizens saying UNIS is the 2nd coming of Iz*One.
I Think Ill Watch Clips For Sure, I Know I Seen One Of Wonyoung Pushing Someone And Than She Feel Right After, I Thought It Was From IVE But Now I Think It Was Iz*One She Was With. That Last Part With UNIS Lowkey Got Me Hype 🤯
@ZukiKrueger great! for sure they are a chaotic bunch with choi yena leading all the comical stuff. just an additional info, choi yena, the most successful soloist among them, actually had a major illness when she was a kid so you might notice a scar on her neck
Although I agree that IZ*ONE was a group with enormous popularity, the other groups from the Produce series were also very popular. IOI was very famous during their active time, and they only lasted one year. Very Very Very was a massive hit in Korea. Not to mention that several famous idols today came from IOI or even from Produce 101 itself (Jeon Somi, Chungha, Kim Sejeong, Soyeon). I know you're talking about girlgroups, but in the second season of Produce we also had Wanna One (boygroup), and they were *huge*. They were rivals to BTS and EXO at the time! They definitely had popularity equivalent to IZ*ONE. After IZ*ONE, there was X1 (boygroup), who were extremely popular even with just their debut song. I dare say they would have been the leaders of the 4th generation if they hadn’t disbanded. Anyway, I just wanted to explain that the Produce series created several popular groups. The difference is that IZ*ONE lasted longer, so they had more time to build a proper career. But if we’re comparing, IZ*ONE and Wanna One were the most successful girl group and boy group to come out of a survival show-considering only the temporary groups, because TWICE also came from a survival show, although I believe Izone were at the same level of popularity as TWICE for a while.
Maybe the most successful group that came from MNET survival show. Good vocalists, had some great dancers, synchronization on par with Itzy and Gfriend. Mygod I miss them 😢
They've since been back to their respective agencies or hopped to a new one. Here's an unadulterated rundown from the top of my head: Eunbi - as much as it still PAINS me to type this, she is the former leader. Now a soloist, she's doing an extension of the 'uahage' sound (elegantly, which was what IZ*ONE achieved during their run) with a bit of sexiness. Sakura - she was placed 2nd, making her the '2nd centre' after Wonyoung. She was one of the most popular and established HKT48 and later AKB48 members during her time there, and that's way before re-debuting as IZ*ONE, so she was REALLY UP THERE. After IZ*ONE, she went back to Japan for a minute and went back to South Korea to join Le Sserafim. Hyewon - was dubbed the 'Innocent Rapper from Hell' after she stepped up to become the rapper in one of the challenges in P48. She's been modelling, but released a winter EP a couple years ago. Yena - 1/3 of Jo Yuriz for their resemblance of each other or of Yuri, really. She's been singing really energetic songs, taking inspiration from the Japanese otaku culture, I'd say. Chaeyeon - Chaeryeong's sister who dances like a feather and knows pretty much every choreography in K-pop. She's appeared in multiple competition shows like P48 or P48-adjacent. Now a soloist. Chaewon - was in the same company as Eunbi, went to the show with her and a few others. Also 1/3 of Jo Yuriz and now with Sakura in Le Sserafim in a new agency. Minju - she's like Hyewon (sans the Innocent Rapper from Hell title). My brain fails me, but I remember being super starstruck seeing her on my screen. Now acting and modelling. Nako - she was already quite well-known as an AKB48 member and was in the same group with Sakura. She sings very high (was in a team who all joked 'To Reach F#', a play on their team's song on the show, To Reach You). She went back to Japan and rejoined HKT48, where she became the centre of before retiring her singing career to become an actor. Hitomi - despite her popularity did not rival that of Sakura or Nako while being an AKB member, her popularity skyrocketed through the show. She left for Japan after IZ*ONE to rejoin AKB and becoming their centre, which was a VERY big deal. She left afterwards to re-debut in K-pop with Say My Name (that was literally last month lol) Yuri - she mostly cleared the high, long notes for IZ*ONE. 1/3 of the titular Jo Yuriz. She's a soloist and will kick off her acting career with... Squid Game 2. That's a whole ass Netflix show. Knowing SG, prayers she'll survive the first few episodes :] Yujin - 1/2 of the youngest and tallest members. Became a part of IVE and their leader. Wonyoung - 1/2 of the youngest and tallest members. Woman of the Hour. Finished first in the show, was the centre of the group, and became a part of IVE. It's crazy how time has passed, and I really don't want to say 'you just had to be there!' but the 'theres' are well-documented and watching this makes me feel nostalgic. Not to sound extremely cliche and sap, but there's no shame in discovering them today (or tomorrow) and the fact that they still hang out with each other whenever they can (and at some point worked with one another if they don't belong in the same group) shows some semblance of IZ*ONE still lives in some capacity.
23:02 u seen that prism thingy in Panorama which is their last title track before disband. so there's so much element from their prvious video re-appearing.. the best song and also sad for me the order their Korean title track La vie en rose - violeta - fieasta - secret story of the swan - panorama
If you wanted a good vocal line, kindly check the Bloom*IZ which is their only full album. If you wanted a dance, I highly recommended Secret Story of the Swan ❤
"wait i shouldve done a deep dive i need to know who that was" my literal same reaction when i saw yena in lver lol when she said "all eyes on me" i was like "yep yep"
IZ*ONE was formed through the survival show Produce48, a collaboration between Produce101 (Mnet) and AKB48. As the final 12 winners, they signed a 2.5-year contract to promote as a group. Wonyoung, the first-place winner, was awarded the center position for the group. Despite many fans (WIZ*ONES) wanting a contract renewal, the companies couldn't come to an agreement, so after their contracts ended, they returned to their individual companies. What They are up to now: Chaewon & Sakura: Now Members of Le Sserafim Yujin & Wonyoung: Now Members of Ive Lee Chaeyeon: Now a Soloist (Songs: Hush Rush, Knock, Let's Dance, and Don't) Kwon Eunbi: Now a Soloist (Songs: Door, Esper, Glitch, Underwater, The Flash, and Sabotage) Choi Yena: Now a Soloist (Songs: Smiley, Smartphone, Love War, Hate Rodrigo, Good Morning, and Nemo Nemo) Jo Yuri (The main vocal AKA: the girl who's screaming): Now a Soloist (Songs: Glassy, Love Shhh!, Loveable, Taxi) She is also an actress and will play a lead role in Squid Game 2. Hitomi: After disbanding, she went back to Japan to rejoin AKB48 until she graduated from the group. She now has re-debuted in Korea in the group SayMyName with the song Waveway. Nako: After disbanding, she went back to Japan to rejoin HKT48 (AKB48's Sister Group) until she graduated from the group. She now is working as an actress in Japan. Hyewon: She is focusing on a career in acting but has also released some ballads. Minju: She is also focusing on a career in acting. Also, you missed one of their title tracks, Secret Story of the Swan, in this video.
This is ONE of the saddest stories in Kpop. NO ONE wanted them to disband, fans even gathered names on addresses and raised money and all kind of crazy, just to prevent them from disbanding, but the companies involved didnt budge and come to terms and as a result of that, the girls had no choise but to disband. Im still MADD. This is one of the comebacks/reunions i will wait, Forever is necessary.❤
First, you need to know that there's a program called idol survival show. Unis was from survivor show universe ticket. Izone is from another survival show. Theses girls come from different agencies or individual without any company. When they are selected and become the debut group, they have 2.5 years of contract to be int the group. After they expire, their own company will take them back and debut them in new groups. Some go to become acting. Unis contract will expire 2.5 years later. If the unis company, FNF decide to renew, the girl's company must agree then they can continue. Izone contract ended and no renewal.
Wonyoung was the 1st place in the final episode of Produce48 (btw, the show that formed iz*one). That's why she was the center since La Vie En Rose! And she's also so pretty and charismatic. It was impossible not putting her in this position.
new subscriber here!! :) love going through this journey of discovering both new and old kpop groups with you! you should also check out Highlight by IZONE
I'm a big fan of the "soft" sound in girl groups as well. I'm still checking out what other reactions you have, but If you like this group, I would suggest checking out TWICE, WJSN, LOONA (please check LOONA's stuff out from fan channels, not their official sites. We are still boycotting their company) Fromis9 and the icons GFRIEND.
Unis will disband just like them too. Survival show that created izone and unis was meant for a temporary group not full 7 years contract like normal gg
No they will disband cause a lot of them already got a contract with their own agency. They may get an extension to make it 4 years total but 7 years full contract is 100% no. Their agency will not allow it. Unis temporary contract is 2.5 years. They may extend but most likely some members will leave to debut with their own girl group agency @@ZukiKrueger
@@ZukiKrueger Well whatever years they have it doesn't matter. We will just enjoy whatever they put out. But Fact: unis is 2.5 years temporary contract. They can extend maybe 1-2 more years making 3-4 years total since they are all young but their own agency has to agree not unis members themselves. They got no power. Some of them are not sign to an agency but majority of them are signed to one , even before joining Universe ticket. . They cannot get a full term contract of 7 years like a regular girl group being a lot of them already have an executive contract with their own agency. They will want them back to form their own girl group etcc. Just like how 2 of the 9 kep1er member left. Their own agency want them back. Kep1er was formed from girls planet 999 similar to Izone and unis
@@JohnT2088 Rn UNIS have Yunha who is already in F&F, and Gehlee Elisia Kotoko who was individual trainees. Nana still has PRIKIL, Hyeonju still has cignature. Yoona and Seowon og brand still have no gg yet but it might change in the future (especially Yoona's since she is in the same company with Yuri and Eunhyung from UT)
Wonyoung is most of the time in the center, because she was the 1st place in the survival show that created i*zone and later she is also the center in ive because of her beauty, facial expression, stage presence and popularity (that she gained during and after the show) And a little side fact is that she was the youngest contestant in the show, in the beginning she was just 13 years old and she won at her 14 birthday ❤🌟
Why? Because they are a project group obviously do reserch please. They had a contract which expired. All 11 are from different comannies. solo or in groups. A few are Le Sersphim, IVE, some solos some went back to japan.
PD101 - I.O.I (2015) PD1012 - Wannaone (2016) PD48 - IZ*ONE (2018) GP999 - KEP1ER (2022?) BP - ZB1 (2023?) UT - UNIS (2024?) (Whats the name of X1's survival show again? I cant remember lol, correct me if im mistaken)
IZ*ONE is known for their synchronization and visually appealing choreo while hitting high notes in the background. A legendary girl group indeed!

The screaming one is Jo Yuri, she’s the main vocalist and now a soloist. Her songs are fire. She’ll also star in Squid Games season 2

Other groups just dissolves after a temporary stint and becoming unknown but Iz*One is different.
14:09 21:00 26:10 Her name is jo yuri. izone's main vocal
"They look so innocent right here..." HAHAHA yeaaah That's why we called them "Babydeuls" back then bcoz they are like precious babies to us
Here is a quick recap of the IZ*ONE girls u might not know:
Chaeyeon - Sister of Chaeryeong from ITZY. Also an amazing dancer like her sister. She is a soloist now. Her music is catchy and typically has a difficult choreo.
Yuri - The main vocalist of IZ*ONE that u kept asking about. She is also now a soloist. She has an amazing voice but I wish I liked her solo music more. But that is just my opinion.

Minju - Minju’s role in the group was the visual and back up center to Wonyoung along with Sakura. If Wonyoung was center for the 1st chorus. Minju or Sakura was center for the 2nd. She had a nice lower register which helped balance all the high vocals. She said that IZ*ONE would be her only group she would be in and has stuck to that.

by the way bro, thats 16:33 26:08 Jo Yuri the main vocalist . an actress and solo artist now 😊
and the rapper was Choi Yena the most successful soloist amongst the group.
The Leader is also their ace - Kwon Eunbi.
I also saw some netizens saying UNIS is the 2nd coming of Iz*One.
I Think Ill Watch Clips For Sure, I Know I Seen One Of Wonyoung Pushing Someone And Than She Feel Right After, I Thought It Was From IVE But Now I Think It Was Iz*One She Was With. That Last Part With UNIS Lowkey Got Me Hype 🤯
@ZukiKrueger great! for sure they are a chaotic bunch with choi yena leading all the comical stuff.
just an additional info, choi yena, the most successful soloist among them, actually had a major illness when she was a kid so you might notice a scar on her neck
Although I agree that IZ*ONE was a group with enormous popularity, the other groups from the Produce series were also very popular. IOI was very famous during their active time, and they only lasted one year. Very Very Very was a massive hit in Korea. Not to mention that several famous idols today came from IOI or even from Produce 101 itself (Jeon Somi, Chungha, Kim Sejeong, Soyeon).

both izone and wannaone being temporary groups was not fair at all djfkgkd I miss them so much
Maybe the most successful group that came from MNET survival show. Good vocalists, had some great dancers, synchronization on par with Itzy and Gfriend. Mygod I miss them 😢
They've since been back to their respective agencies or hopped to a new one. Here's an unadulterated rundown from the top of my head:
Eunbi - as much as it still PAINS me to type this, she is the former leader. Now a soloist, she's doing an extension of the 'uahage' sound (elegantly, which was what IZ*ONE achieved during their run) with a bit of sexiness.
Sakura - she was placed 2nd, making her the '2nd centre' after Wonyoung. She was one of the most popular and established HKT48 and later AKB48 members during her time there, and that's way before re-debuting as IZ*ONE, so she was REALLY UP THERE. After IZ*ONE, she went back to Japan for a minute and went back to South Korea to join Le Sserafim.
Hyewon - was dubbed the 'Innocent Rapper from Hell' after she stepped up to become the rapper in one of the challenges in P48. She's been modelling, but released a winter EP a couple years ago.
Yena - 1/3 of Jo Yuriz for their resemblance of each other or of Yuri, really. She's been singing really energetic songs, taking inspiration from the Japanese otaku culture, I'd say.
Chaeyeon - Chaeryeong's sister who dances like a feather and knows pretty much every choreography in K-pop. She's appeared in multiple competition shows like P48 or P48-adjacent. Now a soloist.
Chaewon - was in the same company as Eunbi, went to the show with her and a few others. Also 1/3 of Jo Yuriz and now with Sakura in Le Sserafim in a new agency.
Minju - she's like Hyewon (sans the Innocent Rapper from Hell title). My brain fails me, but I remember being super starstruck seeing her on my screen. Now acting and modelling.
Nako - she was already quite well-known as an AKB48 member and was in the same group with Sakura. She sings very high (was in a team who all joked 'To Reach F#', a play on their team's song on the show, To Reach You). She went back to Japan and rejoined HKT48, where she became the centre of before retiring her singing career to become an actor.
Hitomi - despite her popularity did not rival that of Sakura or Nako while being an AKB member, her popularity skyrocketed through the show. She left for Japan after IZ*ONE to rejoin AKB and becoming their centre, which was a VERY big deal. She left afterwards to re-debut in K-pop with Say My Name (that was literally last month lol)
Yuri - she mostly cleared the high, long notes for IZ*ONE. 1/3 of the titular Jo Yuriz. She's a soloist and will kick off her acting career with... Squid Game 2. That's a whole ass Netflix show. Knowing SG, prayers she'll survive the first few episodes :]
Yujin - 1/2 of the youngest and tallest members. Became a part of IVE and their leader.
Wonyoung - 1/2 of the youngest and tallest members. Woman of the Hour. Finished first in the show, was the centre of the group, and became a part of IVE.
It's crazy how time has passed, and I really don't want to say 'you just had to be there!' but the 'theres' are well-documented and watching this makes me feel nostalgic. Not to sound extremely cliche and sap, but there's no shame in discovering them today (or tomorrow) and the fact that they still hang out with each other whenever they can (and at some point worked with one another if they don't belong in the same group) shows some semblance of IZ*ONE still lives in some capacity.
Their album is also so good. bloom*iz is my favourite one.
Their dance practice is also great and in sync. Hope you can check it out :)
Wonyoung got 1st place in Produce 48 (the show that formed the group) so she was given the center position.
23:02 u seen that prism thingy in Panorama which is their last title track before disband. so there's so much element from their prvious video re-appearing.. the best song and also sad for me
the order their Korean title track La vie en rose - violeta - fieasta - secret story of the swan - panorama
I just found your channel, great format, good personality, keep doing your thing, i'll be here

damn i was so caught up with the fact he did violeta last that i didnt even realize ssots was skipped lol
UA-camr checking out IZONE for the first time in 2024 is crazy! lol I'm hear for it!
The dance practices is a must
IZONE has this hectic style of music
If you wanted a good vocal line, kindly check the Bloom*IZ which is their only full album. If you wanted a dance, I highly recommended Secret Story of the Swan ❤
"wait i shouldve done a deep dive i need to know who that was" my literal same reaction when i saw yena in lver lol when she said "all eyes on me" i was like "yep yep"
happy to see izone reactions in 2024
We NEED to see you do their Dance Practices. They are truly Legendary.
5:39 That's Yena. She's a vocalist but since there's no rapper in the group. She's forced to be one 😂😂 She's a soloist now
IZ*ONE was formed through the survival show Produce48, a collaboration between Produce101 (Mnet) and AKB48. As the final 12 winners, they signed a 2.5-year contract to promote as a group. Wonyoung, the first-place winner, was awarded the center position for the group. Despite many fans (WIZ*ONES) wanting a contract renewal, the companies couldn't come to an agreement, so after their contracts ended, they returned to their individual companies.
What They are up to now:
Chaewon & Sakura: Now Members of Le Sserafim
Yujin & Wonyoung: Now Members of Ive
Lee Chaeyeon: Now a Soloist (Songs: Hush Rush, Knock, Let's Dance, and Don't)
Kwon Eunbi: Now a Soloist (Songs: Door, Esper, Glitch, Underwater, The Flash, and Sabotage)
Choi Yena: Now a Soloist (Songs: Smiley, Smartphone, Love War, Hate Rodrigo, Good Morning, and Nemo Nemo)
Jo Yuri (The main vocal AKA: the girl who's screaming): Now a Soloist (Songs: Glassy, Love Shhh!, Loveable, Taxi) She is also an actress and will play a lead role in Squid Game 2.
Hitomi: After disbanding, she went back to Japan to rejoin AKB48 until she graduated from the group. She now has re-debuted in Korea in the group SayMyName with the song Waveway.
Nako: After disbanding, she went back to Japan to rejoin HKT48 (AKB48's Sister Group) until she graduated from the group. She now is working as an actress in Japan.
Hyewon: She is focusing on a career in acting but has also released some ballads.
Minju: She is also focusing on a career in acting.
Also, you missed one of their title tracks, Secret Story of the Swan, in this video.
The one you pointed out was Yena. I recommend Wicked Love by her.
Also, best IZ*ONE song is Secret Story of the Swan. You should check it out
It was actually Jo Yuri who he is talking about
This is ONE of the saddest stories in Kpop. NO ONE wanted them to disband, fans even gathered names on addresses and raised money and all kind of crazy, just to prevent them from disbanding, but the companies involved didnt budge and come to terms and as a result of that, the girls had no choise but to disband. Im still MADD. This is one of the comebacks/reunions i will wait, Forever is necessary.❤
HE LOVES JO YURI!!!!!!!
OUR EDM QUEENS
U HAVE to check out performances or practice! For them to be a group for only 2 1/2 years.. They are GOATED
First, you need to know that there's a program called idol survival show. Unis was from survivor show universe ticket. Izone is from another survival show. Theses girls come from different agencies or individual without any company. When they are selected and become the debut group, they have 2.5 years of contract to be int the group. After they expire, their own company will take them back and debut them in new groups. Some go to become acting. Unis contract will expire 2.5 years later. If the unis company, FNF decide to renew, the girl's company must agree then they can continue. Izone contract ended and no renewal.
you forgot the one more, SECRET STORY OF THE SWAN
you forgot the secret story of the swan tho that a BOP! song
this is my first time watching anything about this group. looking forward to your reaction.
Missing these girls💔
If you want to see some choreography I suggest you watch the Relay dance and Im 100% sure you'll love it. 😊
Wonyoung was the 1st place in the final episode of Produce48 (btw, the show that formed iz*one). That's why she was the center since La Vie En Rose! And she's also so pretty and charismatic. It was impossible not putting her in this position.
i miss themm so much
new subscriber here!! :) love going through this journey of discovering both new and old kpop groups with you! you should also check out Highlight by IZONE
I only knew Iz One because UNIS covered La vien rose., to bad the group disbanded, they got a lot of solid songs.
React to dance practice
Check the kprofile and dance practice
Izoneeeeee finally thank you zukiiiii
The haight note do jo yuri
Now, I want you to watch the Produce 48. Please.
unis also dance covered their la vien rose during their kcon on taiwan
Hitomi is also returning to Kpop
You should react to produce show that formed them, its fun
Panorama and fiesta dance practice, please
If you're gonna do a guide please do the video "the last produce group"
I'm a big fan of the "soft" sound in girl groups as well. I'm still checking out what other reactions you have, but If you like this group, I would suggest checking out TWICE, WJSN, LOONA (please check LOONA's stuff out from fan channels, not their official sites. We are still boycotting their company) Fromis9 and the icons GFRIEND.
U must watch their dance practice... Thats was insane
You should watch Rice Squad's video" a story of Iz*one - the last produce group " to know their journey ❤❤
please react to izone "the last produce group video". It cover most of their history until their disbandment.
Unis will disband just like them too. Survival show that created izone and unis was meant for a temporary group not full 7 years contract like normal gg
The Way It Sounds They Make Last Longer , But Hopefully Not. We Shall See When The Time Comes
No they will disband cause a lot of them already got a contract with their own agency. They may get an extension to make it 4 years total but 7 years full contract is 100% no. Their agency will not allow it. Unis temporary contract is 2.5 years. They may extend but most likely some members will leave to debut with their own girl group agency @@ZukiKrueger
@@ZukiKrueger Well whatever years they have it doesn't matter. We will just enjoy whatever they put out. But Fact: unis is 2.5 years temporary contract. They can extend maybe 1-2 more years making 3-4 years total since they are all young but their own agency has to agree not unis members themselves. They got no power. Some of them are not sign to an agency but majority of them are signed to one , even before joining Universe ticket. . They cannot get a full term contract of 7 years like a regular girl group being a lot of them already have an executive contract with their own agency. They will want them back to form their own girl group etcc. Just like how 2 of the 9 kep1er member left. Their own agency want them back. Kep1er was formed from girls planet 999 similar to Izone and unis
@@JohnT2088 Rn UNIS have Yunha who is already in F&F, and Gehlee Elisia Kotoko who was individual trainees. Nana still has PRIKIL, Hyeonju still has cignature. Yoona and Seowon og brand still have no gg yet but it might change in the future (especially Yoona's since she is in the same company with Yuri and Eunhyung from UT)

Unis is like izone, their contract is only two years cause they were formed through a survival show
I CANT BELIVE THIS OMG
Check to izone secret story of swan and up
Wonyoung is most of the time in the center, because she was the 1st place in the survival show that created i*zone and later she is also the center in ive because of her beauty, facial expression, stage presence and popularity (that she gained during and after the show)
And a little side fact is that she was the youngest contestant in the show, in the beginning she was just 13 years old and she won at her 14 birthday ❤🌟
Just contract ended..
You should alo check their dance practices
