IZ * ONE is likely to disband once their contract ends this year. Many people hope that the 12-member group will continue promotions, including Lia ITZY.
IZ * ONE was formed through the Mnet survival show "Produce 48" and was given a contract that lasts 2 years and 6 months. Their contract will expire in April 2021. However, there are some reports that IZ * ONE could potentially get a contract extension.
It seems that it's not only WIZ * ONE (the name for IZ * ONE's fandom) that wants the group fronted by Jang Won Young and his friends to continue as a group. Lia also wanted this to happen.
During the 10th Gaon Chart Music Awards on January 13, Super Junior's Leeteuk mentioned how sad he gets when he thinks of IZ * ONE. "On the other hand, there's IZ * ONE, and when I think of them, I'm sad," he said.
Lia agreed with Leeteuk and talked about how IZ * ONE is expected to disband in a few months. The idol made by JYP Entertainment said, "Me too, it's because I heard they will officially end their IZ * ONE activities."
Lia then expressed her touching wish to immediately see the article about IZ * ONE extending their contract. "But I'm expecting an article about how they will renew their contract and continue their promotions as a group," he said.
As previously reported, CJ ENM and IZ * ONE are in talks about a potential contract extension that should end in April 2021. Several members and agencies that have been contacted have confirmed that they wish to stay with IZ * ONE. They are even said to be working together to speed up the contract extension process.
If an extension is agreed upon, this will be the first time that the “Produce 101” series group will not be disbanded when the contract expires. However, the contract extension process is not expected to be smooth considering that the group had stumbled into a vote manipulation controversy. It is said that the group actually agreed to stop promotions unofficially on December 31, 2020 due to various factors, although promotions have continued in the end. (wk / chus) /wowkeren.com
