The first online fan party from the newest K-pop platform, UNIVERSE, and led by IZ*ONE was successfully completer - bringing a unique experience to WIZ*ONE worldwide.

NCSoft and Klap made the announcement last March 2, noting that IZ*ONE was the first group to appear on a UNIVERSE show last February 28. On the other hand, IZ*ONE led the largely successful event by watching video clips submitted by fans and even communicated with them, sharing their exclusive behind-the-scenes stories even most fans did not know. Together, the twelve member girl group and their dedicated fandom - WIZ*ONE - created an environment of warmth and mutual support.

During the UNIVERSE and IZ*ONE online fan party, 13 multi-view screens were provided, including a high-definition full screen where fans could see and enjoy the entire stage. There was also a dedicated camera and screen, allowing fans to watch every member more closely - creating an interactive experience.

The event was hosted by Jae-jae, whose real name is Lee Eun-jae. Known as the yeonban-in, or the mix of a celebrity and an ordinary person for his relatability and humility in addition to her hosting skills. With Jae-jae as the MC, the online fan party became more fun and friendly for everyone included.

After the online fan party, a one-on-one video call event was hosted between the twelve members of IZ*ONE and 120 fans who won through the UNIVERSE app. The exclusive video call had the members talk in an intimate experience, making eye contact and sharing stories with their beloved fans.

IZ*ONE was first announced onboard UNIVERSE last November 12, exciting fans everywhere with the addition of the IZ*ONE Planet within the app. They were also the first artist within the NCSoft and Klap fan interaction platform to release an original song. "D-D-Dance" was released last January and with it, kicking off the UNIVERSE Music segment, which is a series of original music from the K-Pop artists released exclusively within the platform.

On the other hand, NCSoft and Klap's UNIVERSE plans to hold similar events of fan meetings and fan signing events with its other artists - now including Kang Daniel, The Boyz, MONSTA X, Park Ji Hoon, CIX, ASTRO, IZ*ONE, (G)I-DLE, Oh My Girl, WJSN, AB6IX, ATEEZ, WEi, and Cravity.
