According to its management companies Swing Entertainment and Off The Record, South Korean-Japanese girl group IZ*ONE will officially be disbanding.
According to Soompi, the agencies released a statement on March 10 regarding the extent of the group's future activities, stating that the "IZ*ONE project will end in April." This includes all fan content and social media updates.
WIZ*ONE, or the official fandom name of IZ*ONE, will still have a chance to connect with their idols together for one last time on March 13 and 14, with the group's online concert entitled, ONE, THE STORY.
"We express gratitude to WIZ*ONE who have given love and support to IZ*ONE until now, and we ask that much support be given for the members’ future activities," read the statement. "The IZ*ONE members are currently working their hardest to meet fans at the concert."
