“What do IZone and Daft Punk have in common?”

This is a quiz from MBC’s’Good Morning FM I’m Jang Seong-gyu’ that aired on the 17th. It is common to give a quiz to listeners on the radio, but the quiz on this day made the hearts of Wiz One (Aizu One fandom) upset. The answer to the quiz was’dismantlement’.

Angry IZone fans went to the’Good Morning FM’ website and DJ Jang Seong-gyu’s SNS to protest, and eventually received Jang Seong-gyu’s apology. It was an happening representing the current situation of IZone fans, which is about to be officially disbanded in April.

On the 10th, the management of the 12-member Korean-Japanese project girl group IZone, Swing Entertainment and Off the Records, said on the 10th that they have decided to end their activities as originally scheduled, saying, “We have been continuously listening to and discussing opinions of each agency for the best activities of the members. Revealed. IZone, formed through Mnet’Produce 48′ in 2018, was scheduled to be active for 2 years and 6 months at the time of its formation.

However, as it was formed in the topic and gained great popularity, some fans are opposing the decision to disband IZone. The day after the decision to dismantle, users of the online community DC Inside IZone gallery said, “I strongly demand that IZone continue its activities in the future as it is with its current member composition.” If IZone’s activities are terminated, he said he will boycott all the activities planned by the member’s original agency in the future.

There was also a truck demonstration in front of CJ ENM’s office building against the dismantling of IZone. Through the display board installed on the truck, it was requested to maintain 12 members, continue activities in the future, unilaterally withdraw their official positions, and express their position.

At the online concert held on the 13th to 14th, IZone said, “Whenever we are tired and difficult, we have members and Wiz1 so we could endure well and get up again.” “Thank you for always being on our side and making unforgettable memories. Wiz Thanks to Won, I was happy every day.”

Wiz One hopes that happiness will continue, but the dismantling of IZ One seems inevitable. There is a possibility that some members will form a unit and work together, but even if a unit is formed, the nature of the project group requires multiple management companies to unite the will, as in IZone, because this process is not easy.
