The group IZ*ONE (IZ*ONE) closes Film.
IZ*ONE ends and disbands all Films on 29th
Mnet said, "The project Film of IZ*ONE, which debuted as a COLOR*IZ album in 2018 and has grown into a group that represents Asia with great love in Korea and the world stage, will be completed as scheduled in April."
"Mnet and Swing Entertainment/Off the Record will thank all 12 members of IZ*ONE who have shown a wonderful appearance and will support the growth as The Artist in the future so that the fantastic story that we have created together can continue. I would like to expect and support them for a new look they will show in the future. "
Before the contract expired, fans' anti-dismantling campaign occurred and the Film extension was over, but eventually they gathered opinions to finish the Film. Miyawaki Sakura expressed great regret by conveying the news of the dismantling through his radio broadcast on the day, and Honda Hitomi poured tears at the fans who met at Incheon International Airport to leave Japan.
IZ*ONE, which was born through the Mnet audition program 'ProDeuce48' broadcasted in 2018, is a project group consisting of 12 people including Jang Won Young, Sakura, Jo Yu-ri, Choi Yena, An Yoo Jin, Kwon Eun-bi, Kang Hye Won, Kim Min-joo, Kim Chae Won, Lee Chae Won, Nako and Hitomi. He made his official debut in October of that year and played active Film for two and a half years.
Of course, I was in crisis with twists and turns. The crew of 'ProDeuce' was temporarily suspended due to the ranking manipulation scandal. However, Mnet took responsibility for the situation and took the position that IZ*ONE would "do my best to support it." Fans also had unwavering support, and IZ*ONE pushed Film on this.
As a result, it has become a 'top' with great popularity centered on both Korea and Japan. Last year, she achieved a record sales volume of about 1.3 million albums with three albums, and achieved remarkable results such as 'Women's The Artist cumulative record sales in 2020', which led to the top of various music charts and the song awards ceremony trophy sweep.
The fans are saddened because they have been in the Film for the longest time in the 'Pro Deuce' series. So IZ*ONE held its last concert "One the Story (ONE, THE STORY)" last month and thanked the fans who ran together for a long time and shed tears.
At the time, IZ*ONE said, "Every time I was tired and tired, I had a wizone with my members and I was able to stand up and get up again. Thank you for always being on our side and making unforgettable memories. Thanks to wizone, I was happy every day. "
Now IZ*ONE heads to their own agency, where attention is drawn to what each of the 12 members, who have constantly worked and showed endless growth potential as The Artist, will show their way.
