CHOI YENA, KWON EUNBI, HITOMI HONDA
Members from the project group IZ*ONE are once again presenting songs from their group period on their respective stages. Even after the end of their official activities, IZ*ONE‘s tracks and exchanges between members continue during concerts and events.
CHOI YENA performed IZ*ONE‘s “Airplane”, “好きになっちゃうだろう？”, “Fiesta”, and other titles at her encore concert held on August 22. HITOMI, who is active within SAY MY NAME, took the stage as a guest to perform “설탕” with CHOI YENA.
In August of last year, during KWON EUNBI‘s concert, CHOI YENA and HITOMI participated as guests. That day, KWON EUNBI presented a medley of 5 iconic IZ*ONE songs. JO YURI sang IZ*ONE‘s flagship title, “Panorama”, during her first fan concert, and LEE CHAEYEON also composed a medley of IZ*ONE songs during an overseas performance.
Although IZ*ONE ended its official activities in April 2021, the members continue to present the group’s songs during their respective concerts. They also maintain their exchanges by participating as guests in each other’s concerts or going to performance venues. Recently, it was learned that 7 members met on the occasion of the visit to South Korea of YABUKI NAKO, a former IZ*ONE member.
An industry professional highlighted: “I.O.I, WANNA ONE, and IZONE are examples where the popularity, iconic songs, and fandom accumulated during the defined activity period continue through the members’ individual activities, thus allowing the group’s intellectual property to be maintained even after its disbandment.”*
IZ*ONE is a project group formed in 2018 through Mnet’s “Produce 48”. Active until April 2021, the group sold about 2.79 million albums in Korea and abroad, and gathered about 81,000 spectators across 11 performances in 5 regions during its 2019 Asian tour “Eyes on Me”.
