The situation
IZ*ONE members recently reunited, thanks to Kwon Eun Bi, who organized a gathering at her cafe and Choi Ye Na's home. The reunion included 7 members: Kwon Eun Bi, Cho Yu Ri, Choi Ye Na, Kim Chae Won, Kim Min Ju, Honda Hitomi, and Yabuki Nako. This comes after the recent comebacks of I.O.I and Wanna One, who were also formed through the "Produce 101" series.

What the internet did with it

  • — "they're still so close, it's really beautiful to see" - a fan commented on the reunion photos, highlighting the strong bond between the members.
  • The members shared stories and memories from their time in IZ*ONE, including their performances at the "MAMA" awards, and even revealed some secrets from back then, showcasing their deep affection for each other.
  • Netizens on Theqoo were generally unbothered but pleased by the reunion, with some commenting on how it's a testament to the strong friendships formed through the "Produce 101" series, and how it's a great example of *_사이다_* (a satisfying or refreshing moment) for fans.

The open question
The question on everyone's mind is whether this reunion could potentially lead to an official IZ*ONE comeback or project, although for now, the members seem content with just cherishing their personal bonds and shared memories, leaving fans to wonder if there's more to come from this beloved group.

Don’t you dare get my hopes up! I sobbed watching their disbandment concert 5 years ago! 😭😂

Nostalgia is in now, so I think we're more likely to get it than not!! We need to all use our collective WIZ*ONE power to get the girls into that recording booth!🤞

True! It would be so insanely cool!! Forgive my pessimism but I just don’t see how they were work around Chae/Saki/Wonyoung/Yujin’s schedules? 😭 Aren’t they both starting tours soon? 🥲 (Cuz I know Serrafim is coming here in October and I’m hoping to see them and I thought IVE were starting a tour too?) but it would be so cool if it could happen! They need a proper concert, it was so unfair that their goodbye concert was done in an empty studio :( WIZ*ONE powers activate!!! Now I’m getting nostalgic remembering when they debuted in 2018… It was such a big deal back then 🥹

Realistically, not before their corresponding groups is at least less active. And didn't hitomi's group debut not too long ago.

I get the feeling Hitomi's company would be all for it. They've never been shy to promote that she was in IZONE as they're a smaller group/company that would love any sort of pr traction. Starship and HYBE are very much the opposite
u/MaterialTotal5102
Hitomi was part of AKB 20th anniversary concert so her company will likely not be the one blocking another reunion.
