HistoryEdit

Produce 48 Formation and Debut (2018)Edit

The group debuted in Korea on October 29, 2018 with their debut EP "COLOR*IZ" featuring title track "La Vie en Rose" (라비앙로즈). The physical album was released in two versions, a color version and a rose version.The EP peaked at #2 on Gaon Album Chart and sold 225,000 units.

The early success subsequently hailed them as the New Artist of the Year at several awards shows, including Golden Disc Awards and Seoul Music Awards.

Japanese Debut and Comebacks, First Korean Comeback HEART*IZ (2019)Edit

The group made their Japanese debut on February 6, 2019 with "Suki to Iwasetai" Peaking at number 2 on Oricon Singles Chart and with over 250,000 unit sales, the single was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ)   

The group's second Korean mini album, "HEART*IZ", was released on April 1st, 2019 and featured the title track "Violeta" The physical album was released in two versions, a Violeta version and a Sapphire version, as well as a random clear sleeve (1 of 13 for each version).

IZ*ONE later made their first Japanese comeback with the single Buenos Aires, shortly followed by their third single Vampire.

Later that year the group's first full length album, BLOOM*IZ, was set to be released in November of 2019, with studio versions of songs such as AYAYAYA and SO CURIOUS. The album was later delayed due to voting manipulation allegations during Produce 48, causing refunds given out for preorders and the release put on hold.

Produce 48's vote manipulation and BLOOM*IZ (2020)Edit

IZ*ONE's return was scheduled for November 11, 2019, but was postponed after Produce 48 director An Joon Young admitted to manipulating the program's ratings. The group has since been on an indefinite hiatus.

On 23 January 2020, in a statement, Mnet responded "respecting the views of members and fans who hope that IZ*ONE's activities will return to normal, Mnet and the agencies of IZ*ONE members have decided that their activities will resume. IZ*ONE is expected to resume activities in February, and details, including the exact schedule, will be announced soon".

In early 2020 Off the Record announced that IZ*ONE would continue as a twelve member group with the release of BLOOM*IZ in February 2020 and its title track, FIESTA.
