THESE 8 Former IZ*ONE Members Have The Best Post-Group Eras: Kwon Eunbi, Choi Yena, More!
IZ*ONE is one of the most prominent girl groups in K-pop. Loved by their pleasing aesthetic and elegant concepts, it didn't take long for IZ*ONE to reach out on wider audiences. However, everyone knew how the girl group only had two years of promotions, as they are a project girl group from "Produce 48."
Their fandom, WIZ*ONES, were met with sad news involving their contractual disbandment. After their group activities concluded, the members went their separate ways to focus on individual careers. Some returned to their own companies. Others debuted on groups and some took on solo endeavors.
Here are 8 former members with the best post IZ*ONE eras!
1. Kwon Eunbi
Kwon Eunbi was the former leader of IZ*ONE. With someone charismatic as her, it's impossible for Eunbi not to have a career of her own.
The idol debuted on August 24 with her first solo album "Open" and its title track "Door." She has also released well-loved tracks such as "Glitch" and "Underwater."
2. Choi Yena
Back in IZ*ONE, Choi Yena was the group's ball of energy, gleaming with her upbeat personality. After IZ*ONE disbanded, that same quirkiness didn't just stay with Yena, but was also embedded through her music!
On January 17, 2022, IZ*ONE's "Ducky" Yena debuted with her first solo music "SMILEY." She has also followed two other songs as well, consisting of the optimistic "SMARTPHONE" and the gloomy "Love War" (feat. BE'O), which showcased her versatility as an artist.
3. IVE Wonyoung
In IZ*ONE, Wonyoung was the maknae, who is responsible for capturing hearts of fans left and right with her charms. Although she's not the youngest in IVE anymore, fans are still amazed with her presence and talent!
4. IVE Yujin
Just like Wonyoung, Ahn Yujin is also a part of IZ*ONE's maknae line. Fans were amazed of Yujin's transformation from being IZ*ONE's "Puppy" maknae to becoming IVE's reliable leader.
5. LE SSERAFIM Chaewon
During her IZ*ONE era, Chaewon was the adorable fairy everyone adored. However, most fans would agree that she received the most change, due to her visual evolution, chic fashion, and role as LE SSERAFIM's leader.
6. LE SSERAFIM Sakura
Sakura's endearing feel from IZ*ONE also beautifully transformed in LE SSERAFIM, as she's capable of pulling off any style and concept when needed.
7. Jo Yuri
IZ*ONE's former main vocalist Jo Yuri also took her own path. On October 7, 2021, Yuri debuted with the catchy "GLASSY." The idol also followed up her comeback "Love Shhh!" on her discography.
8. Lee Chaeyeon
Among all members who were expected to shine solo, Chaeyeon was definitely the top pick! Boasting with her ferocious dance skills and stage presence, fans couldn't wait to see more of her performances. The main dancer debuted on October 12, 2022, with "HUSH RUSH" and its album of the same name.
