Fans talk about why IZ*ONE shouldn't disband

Daniel gets dragged for breathing, and he's one of the most high selling soloists in Korea... All celebrities get dragged by antis, ESPECIALLY idols from the Produce series because the show basically breeds solo stans, but it basically has no effect on how well they do commercially. Their mental health is another story though, if you don't like someone why spend so much energy dragging them down, rather than just... ignore them ? 

I know all of them are dragged but I was referring to your first statement saying literally that "nobody held the Cravity boys responsible for their preferential treatment, even if the push was even more obvious" when they did and still do to this day all the time. Their fans buying their albums have nothing to do because Iz*one fans buy their albums and support them too. My point is that antis drag both Iz*one and X1, especially the so called "rigged members" in each group.

I should have written "nobody with even half a brain", I guess. Dragging someone for something out of their control is plain stupid.

From CJ's business perspective it would make sense to make them permanent/extend their contract since they're pretty much the last PD group. So comparing W1 situation with IZ*ONE's is pointless imo, but yeah, I still think they should still disband though. If the controversy had never happened I would be wishing them to be together for a longer time. I'm excited for the girls future projects regardless.

Actually I can see why CJ would want to disband them. To get away from the whole Produce mess all together. It's not helping their (or Mnet) image keeping them tbh.

CJ don't necessarily need the Produce franchise. They were making money before the franchise and they continue to make it.

Yet they keep pushing IZ*ONE to the upfront and even had their first Panorama performance at MAMA. Honestly I don't think they care that much about their image, they mostly care about money. But who knows. I might be wrong. I do think the agencies would want the girls back, that's for sure.

Think about it, CJ isn't make much money off of Izone right now. Comebacks are not cheap to produce. Companies barely make anything off of music sales. They're not touring due to Covid and lacking CFs and endorsements due to the scandal. Izone is basically at the end of their road. In my opinion, CJ is simply sticking to the contract. Doing their job. Plus, keeping fans happy. There is still a bunch of Produce fans out there who generally like survival shows. And CJ is still and will continue to produce survival shows.

Ok, good point.

Yea, it's a sad one.

I just hope they get a well planned out farewell.

A beautiful concept and song. A compilation album would be cool.

Anyways they have about 4 months left, so I'm anticipating!

Everyone is going back to their respective agencies...

I wouldnt say that when they happily practice evaluation song before every other trainee to present themselve as more capable than the other trainees, knowing very well that is prohibited. 

Enough. Stop acting like you know these idol and that they are all innocent as they appear to be, you cant be that naive? 

I mean no one talks about how the AKB girls 100% had the dance and lyrics for Pick Me before the show started or preferential grading and screentime for them on PD48 so isn't it just picking and choosing what to complain about?

What are all of this bullshit you are talking about? Neither of these are correct. Japanese struggled the most in all of that aspect, and they are still SUFFERING till this day in IZONE please watch your words.

Did you watch PD48? 

Yes, they struggle the most with this aspect.  That's what makes it obvious they had Pick Me before the show started. The diference during the show of them picking up the ENTIRE Pick Me song and dance for the re-evaluation vs just their designated parts of the various group songs makes it obvious.

I mean Stage48 talked about it before the show even started. AkiP wouldn't send them without that minimal preparation.

And clearly I don't need to explain the screentime and grading because Sakura's A and how it was handled vs Miyu's A (which she received first) speaks for itself.

Remove an extra I

I wished they could renew their contracts and continue Izone as long as possible but realistically that will not happen.
