IZONE Dissolution: Soloists or Groups - A Fan's Perspective
With the announcement of the disbandment of IZONE, fans are left wondering what the future holds for each member. Below is a compilation of what I wish for each IZONE member, based on my hopes and dreams for their future success. This is purely my perspective and thoughts, so feel free to share your own views!
Introduction
As a fan of IZONE, I have been thinking about what each member should do post-disbandment. Whether they should pursue a solo career or debut in a group, I have some ideas and thoughts to share.
Eunbi
First up is Eunbi. While I know many fans would love to see her as a soloist, personally, I feel that joining Rocket Punch could be a fantastic opportunity for her. Eunbi's versatility and talent could significantly boost the profile and popularity of Rocket Punch, making them more than just a sub-unit.
Sakura
Sakura, on the other hand, has always been a fan favorite with a growing presence in the entertainment industry. My wish is that she graduates from AKB48/HKT48 and signs with a Korean company, preference being WM or Starship Entertainment. Sakura's rapid improvement and growing popularity make her a sure bet for success in the Korean market.
Hyewon
Hyewon, while talented and improved, might find success more accessible through a group debut rather than a soloist route. My hopes are that she leaves 8D Creative and joins a company like Woollim Entertainment or Starship Entertainment for a group debut. Groups often provide a broader platform for growth and collaboration, which can be beneficial for her career.
Yena
Yena is a talented rapper and vocalist with formidable dancing skills, making her a strategic addition to Everglow. Unlike other members, I do not feel the same concerns over her ability in a group setting. Her dynamic presence and musical talent would fit Everglow perfectly, ensuring a smooth transition and continued success for the group.
Chaeyeon
Chaeyeon, with her soloist potential, might not fare as well in a solo debut. Given my analysis, she would benefit more from starting her career in a group, such as Rocket Punch. While a soloist path may be tempting, debuting with a group is a safer and potentially more successful route for her.
Chaewon
Chaewon's place in Rocket Punch is already secure, and she has my full support on the journey. Though I am a fan and rooted for a soloist route, a debut with Rocket Punch is the best for her long-term growth and success. Her talent and connection with the group are undeniable, and this path supports her growth as a performer.
Minju
Minju has shown significant improvement and has a bright future ahead in the entertainment industry. My recommendation is for her to leave Urban Works and join a reputable company like WM or Starship Entertainment. A group debut would be ideal for Minju, as individual success may be less likely given her current trajectory.
Nako
Like Sakura, Nako has the potential to continue her career in the Korean entertainment industry, but she would be best off signing with a Korean entertainment company. Whether WM or Starship Entertainment, Nako's talent and dedication make her a strong candidate for a solo success. However, a group debut could also provide a more stable and successful beginning for her.
Hitomi
Given Hitomi's talent and potential, I would love to see her graduate from AKB48 and join a Korean girl group. Companies like Woollim Entertainment, WM, or Starship Entertainment would give her the opportunity to shine. While I wish for her to have a solo debut, a group setting would likely be more suitable for her.
Yuri
Yuri's talent shines through, and transitioning from Stone Entertainment to another company, particularly an influential one like Starship Entertainment or Woollim Entertainment, would be a wise move. This change will provide her with the recognition and opportunities she deserves.
Yujin and Wonyoung
Lastly, Yujin and Wonyoung are perfectly placed in their current group settings. They do not require a change of scenery to achieve their full potential, and they are well-positioned to continue flourishing in their respective units.
That's all for now. Here's to hoping the best for each of the IZONE members as they venture into their future careers.
Peace,
