Is it safe to say that Iz*One will be returning?

I honestly don't know

Sry but no I don't see any chance

as much as i want them to the vote is a no

While I'm dreaming of it, I think overall no but I hope I'm proved wrong!

it may be just coincident that everglow and rocket punch announced comeback on same day.

I dont think MV and dance can be edited/adjusted with one more/less member if Yena and Chaewon are indeed added/removed from comeback.

Quote from SMsKKSilence

So positively in fact... A few days ago we suddenly saw Everglow and Rocket Punch announce their combacks, and not only did they announce the comeback without Yena and Chaewon, but on the same day.

yeah bc yena is focusing on variety shows in the first half of the year and will join everglow in their next comeback in the second half of the year

I think Izone reforming as a subunit is a longshot possibility.

I think Izone reforming as a full unit is a virtual impossibility.

I think the labels are all just being really careful right now. A few of them probably dont want anything to do with the PUP (bitch ass Starshit, Yueloser, and 8D) but are playing along nicely with the negotiations so as to not upset Wizones who are still in the 5 stages of grief (i'm still seething for example). They probably figure as time passes, more and more people are gonna accept that Izone is gone for good.

Which is kinda stupid and shortsighted of them. The only thing they would have to give up are their plans for their dumb post Produce groups. Izone reformation would be doing them a favor since they WOULDNT be able to waste money with these flop groups. These labels could all still have their idols do every solo, CF, variety show, acting, MC project they want, in between comebacks.

As for comebacks for any Izone redebut, the labels are gonna have to either use that PUP money to hire another company to do what Swing/OTR did, or the labels are gonna have to somehow manage the girls themselves and handle everything, from PR to music production to MVs.

Ultimately though, even if Izone never reforms as a subunit or full unit, what i want most of all is for the labels to allow the former members to hang out publicly, talk about their experiences as Izone, do Vlives or Instas together if they want, etc. The spirit of Izone isnt their music, it's the fanservice and fellowship they shared with each other. If PUP can get the labels to publicly guarantee that they wont interfere with the girls if they want to do these things, that will be something i can live with. I mean, if Hyeyul really end up together, dont we all want to see it happen?

Starship and Yuehua will hold onto Wonyoung and Yujin and Yena as much as they can. The boicot and everything all will die down eventually, just like how it happened with X1 and the fans that wanted a reboot.

I don't know about the rest of the girls, I don't know how much freedom the j-line has about his future since I don't follow J-pop. A sub-unit would be great, and it will at least calm the waters for the project and the amount of money they have invested in it. It would be an smart choice from the companies since they can still profit from "Iz*one" even if they wouldn't be Iz*one anymore.

As a wiz*one I would still support them in whatever it ends up happening.

It sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself. I don’t think Iz*one will be returning, at least not for the time being.

don't think so

IoI, w1 and X1 fans were telling themselves the same thing, years later and nothing happened. At most they got a collab between two of the members so maybe chaewon and eunbin x Yena or something like that

Can someone explain the Parallel Universe project?

The difference is all the past movement are mainly on sns and just alot of talking ,like X1 what i remember was just alot of fans protesting infront of cj building and a few trucks .

But this one u got the money (around 3 million USD , and that doesn't include internasional fans) and an actual representative from entertainment industry insider and some legal team that already have a 'real' formal meeting with the label.

At least in my eyes they have bigger chance than the past movement.

And for the people said that money is nothing , y'all forget it's Korea music market not USA where artist can make a million a show.

In 2018 JYP said it cost 1.5 million USD to debut new group and thats include training cost of 5 member and 3 years of training, music video, everything to clothes, dancer,song production,marketing,etc.

And thats JYP number which is big3 , where they used expensive producer and studio,etc and they're talking about debut where they need to promote heavily on 4 shows a week for 6 weeks.

With that number they can have at least 3 mini album comeback off we exlude training cost .

And they don't need to pay any money at all for those 3 comebacks, and got the profit.

I don't think this is like an Investment where a cut of the profit Will be given back to the project coz its more like a crowdfund .

even if it is theres a big chance that money Will be used for more project .

So this things almost has no risk businnes wise.

They said 'action speak louder' so finger crossed .
