IZ*ONE UNIT GROUP ?!??!?!

OH shiet

#IZONEPERMANENT here we goooo

Pls let it be Chaeyeon & Sakura

If this is true. I am all for it.

OH MY-

To be honest I knew IZ*ONE was going to disband, but it still breaks my heart

If there is a sub - unit with still some of the girls I will be so happy

My guess:

1) Wonyoung and yujin wont be joining as they will be gearing for debut

2) Yena likely not joining too as she will more than likely join Everglow for a comeback

3) Chaewon maybe joining Rocket punch, might not join. Eunbi could be preparing for solo.

The remaining members should have no problem joining the sub unit. I can live with that, more lines for hyewon and J-line.

" until recently, the members and their agencies took part in several dialogues to consider extending IZ*ONE's contract. However, not all of the agencies were able to come to an agreement, and so the project group has decided to disband.

Even if some of the members and their companies conclude that they would like to continue the name of IZ*ONE as a unit group or a different project group, the process will still pose various difficulties that need resolving, including the establishment of a contract agreed by all parties involved."

Sounds like it is not likely to happen tbh

i need chaekura and then we good

I want Sakura to stay but most likely she is going to go back to promote in Japan.

Do you know anything about the Izone fanbase in terms of which members are the biggest stan attractors? Also do you know who buys more albums, K fans or J fans?

I'm wondering if a subunit of Chaeyeon, Sakura, Hitomi, Nako, Hyewon, Yuri, and Minju could still be successful and sell at least 250-300k albums? I feel like this group should have no problem attracting and retaining fanboys, with super visual It Girls Minju and Sakura and visual Hyewon. Plus internationally popular Chaeyeon. And this group would have the best dancer in Chaeyeon and the best vocal in Yuri still there.

People who wanted IZ*ONE to disband and were happy about it be like:

J-line are going back to AKB so that's a no

Wonyoung + Yujin will probably not be an option due to Starshit

Yena probably too

Eunbi and Chaewon probably out too

so 4 members(Hyewon, Chaeyeon, Minju, Yuri) left?

Actually i saw a Korean tweet that said Urban Works, WM and Woolim agreed to an extension. People are also saying that according to Korean and Japanese sources, it was Yuehua and Starship that wanted their members back. Havent heard anything about where 8D and the Japanese labels stand, although you're probably right that the Japanese members are certain to go back.

So if these rumors are true, the subunit could be:

Eunbi

Chaewon

Chaeyeon

Minju

Yuri

Hyewon (depends on what 8D wants to do)

Can this group be successful enough to sell 250-300k per comeback?

i would love to see this

considering!!!!

i would love that to happen but history has shown us that such rumours never turn out true.

It's honestly not a bad idea, especially for the smaller companies who may not be in a position to debut a new gg. We know post-Produce is always risky so I was wondering why this wasn't being floated. I know losing members sucks for the fans, but a portion is better than nothing.

Extremely logical. Less members means less expenses as well, which means the subunit doesnt have to sell as much to be profitable. Less members also means more potential exposure for each remaining member. And MNET can sweeten the deal for the labels by offering them a bigger cut of the profits, especially if the subunit can come close to the sales of Izone itself.

If MNET can get her Japanese label to buy in, i think getting Sakura to go with the members from Urban, WM, and Woolim would make the subunit almost guaranteed to be successful.

Sakura, Chaewon, Chaeyeon, Eunbi, Minju, Yuri. Two visual stan attractors and mini It girls in Minju and Sakura, two top vocalists in Chaewon and Yuri, and two main dancers plus respected leaders in Chaeyeon and Eunbi.

MAKE IT HAPPEN MNET!!

Two things I see that needs to happen:

Assuming Wonyoung, Yujin are added to Starship NGG, and Yena to Everglow, they desperately need Sakura, Minju and

Chaewon to be in this group.

They also needs to somehow keep the Izone name. Sorta like Sistar-19, Nuest W, they have to keep the Izone brand alive or else a lot of casual fans or others simply won't pay attention.

Finally, OTR didn't just underutilized Hyewon for nothing, they want to surprise bitch everyone because she's about to unleash her gear second in that new unit and carry the group as the IT girl
