IZONE announced its dissolution! After April next year, the members will return to their respective companies

After some discussions,

, the Japanese and Korean women's limited girl group IZONE selected through the Mnet talent show "Produce 48", finally decided to disband in April next year. Earlier media reports stated that IZONE members may continue to be active in the Japanese and Korean entertainment circles after completing their contract renewal. However, according to the latest progress of negotiations between CJ ENM and the performing arts companies to which the members belong, April next year will be their deadline for their activities.

Although the members still want to continue activities together, but judging from the current progress, the performing arts company does not seem to want them to continue to be active in the entertainment circle as IZONE. Because like the Japanese popular member of the team, Sakura, before joining IZONE, he was a top popular member in the AKB48 team. And even if C members like Zhang Yuanying take the solo route after disbandment, it has no effect. In the end, CJ ENM didn't seem to have reached an agreement with every performance company.

It is reported that IZONE's latest album will soon meet with fans. Although the outside world generally believes that "the wishes of the members are the yardstick for determining whether IZONE can continue its activities", as a contracted artist, the reality can only obey the company's arrangements. However, in addition to the upcoming new album, IZONE will continue to attend the year-end music awards ceremony in Japan and South Korea at the end of this year.

The news about the dissolution of IZONE was actually first proposed by Japan. Because their debut album has sold 310,000 copies in the Japanese market, IZONE’s local popularity has won unanimous praise from fans. But in the face of the expiring commercial contract, the Japanese media announced that IZONE will release their last photo album in March next year, and will end their two and a half years of combined career. The pre-order activities for this photo album will be officially launched on December 1.

Anyway, the news of IZONE’s dissolution will make fans feel sorry. But since South Korea's "Produce 101" series was involved in the public opinion turmoil of vote fraud, IZONE has also been questioned by some fans. Therefore, some fans think that disbanding IZONE as soon as possible is the best development for the members. After all, for some time in the past, the title of "fake girl group" has been with them. IZONE is currently the only K-POP girl group active in today's music scene through the "Produce 101" talent show.
