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.
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, :,)
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😢
"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"
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 ❤
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
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.
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)
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!
Fun fact: The main vocalist (the on in blue that u pointed in fiesta and doing high notes) is actually a cast in the upcoming squid game 2
Can I ask who? I'm not really a stan, but really would like to know who she is..
@ her name is jo yuri
@@k3nn28 jo yuri stan her she is worth ´the stan
“was that fucking wonyoung i saw” LMFAOOOO
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).

Not even a blink but clearly Blackpink is the biggest girl group lol

@@Marcondirondirondello I see but yeah I think mentioning the size of group would’ve been clearer cause you just said no other group.
@@ravenclaw17 I mean I thought it was kinda clear since I mentioned two groups that are similar to eachother tho

OUR EDM QUEENS
UA-camr checking out IZONE for the first time in 2024 is crazy! lol I'm hear for it!
Wonyoung got 1st place in Produce 48 (the show that formed the group) so she was given the center position.

I just found your channel, great format, good personality, keep doing your thing, i'll be here
If you notice the pre-chorus in Panorama, they dance all the main part (La Vie en rose, Violeta, Fiesta and SSOTS)
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.
