Where Are The Former IZ*ONE Members Now?
IZ*ONE is a girl group with 12 members who debuted in 'Produce 48' in August 2018. They disbanded on April 29, 2021, after two and a half years of activity. During this time, they released several hit songs such as 'La Vie en Rose', 'Violeta', 'Fiesta', 'Fairy Tale', and 'Panorama', and won first place 26 times on music shows.
IZ*ONE, who shone while promoting together back then, still performs outstandingly in their current positions.
Wonyoung, who used to be the center of IZ*ONE, re-debuted with Yujin in group IVE and established himself as a representative group of the 4th generation. They bagged many awards from the previous year, such as Daesangs and Rookie of the Year.
Chaewon and Sakura re-debuted in another new group, LE SSERAFIM. They appeared in the music industry in May of last year with the aspiration to "become the best" as they continue to captivate the public with their own unique concept.
In August 2021, KWON EUNBI debuted as a soloist, followed by JO YURI in October 2021. JO YURI also debuted as an actress and was cast for Squid Game 2. Both artists have a successful solo stand and continue to show their incredible talents.

Yabuki Nako and Honda Hitomi returned to Japan after their activities with IZ*ONE ended. They are currently promoting with their respective groups, HKT48 and AKB48.
Undoubtedly, the future holds great promise for the former members of IZ*ONE, who have already demonstrated their impressive abilities individually and as a group. With such a solid foundation to build upon, it's exciting to think about what they'll be able to achieve more in the years to come.
