Shoutout to GhostlyRae and Tuanjiebai566 for the request! This video shows the rollercoaster of IZ*One so well! I thought this was a member guide but it was more of a story of the group as a whole which was also enjoyable :D I hope you all like this!

And yes, Slow Journey is one of the b-tracks in their last mini album. One thing to note is that Slow Journey is also written by Chaewon for the members and WIZ*ONE
Aww cute! I love Chaewon
love the reactions man also i miss seeing the girls together but im happy they are all succeeding and thriving in their post group activities
I wish I could've been here from the beginning but I am thrilled like you to see them happy and successful even after the group disband. I hope the members of Kep1er can have similar success after they disband.
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!
13:28 I would definitely go the Izone route. I do not have much motivation and patience, so putting in all that effort to debut and getting faster results with nice charting seems like a win to me. Fromis though they’ve joined with Hybe are still pretty underrated. I could imagine myself getting really tired over time, so a more short-lived group would probably suit me best. That way, I could leave the group knowing all that I’ve accomplished in such little time
That's fair. And you could also have time to do other things while you're still in the prime of your "idol years" if you wanted to like join another group or start solo activities, etc.
Yess Jo Yuri is now a soloist! She had a comeback recently or not too long ago, the title track is called ‘Taxi’ 👍🏾
Awesome, thanks for the heads up!
she is also an actress and is now casted in the second season of Squid Games
@RiceOreo very cool! I never saw the first season but I know it was very popular :)
That last line in the video by Yena - you're correct! It was referenced in Panaroma and that itself was referencing to something she said during their first concert
I KNEW I recognized it haha. Thanks for the confirmation. It's nice to finally be right about something lol
You might already be aware of this, but Girls Planet was basically re-branded Season 5 of the Produce series due to the voting scandal covered in the guide.
You can tell the pedigree of the Produce sister/brother groups by "1" or "ONE" in their names:
Produce 101 [S1] - I.O."I"
Produce 101 [S2] - Wanna "One"
Produce 48 [S3] - IZ*"ONE"
Produce 101 [S4] - X"1"
Girls Planet [S5] - Kep"1"er
Boys Planet [S6] - ZB"1"
Produce 101 Japan [S1] - JO"1"
Produce 101 Japan [S2] - IN"I"
Season 3 of the Produce 101 Japan is about to air in October. Since you are following Kep1er, why not it a shot?
It'd be fun to watch Kep1er's new sister group forming in Japan live.
Oh nice! I actually didn't know all of this. I knew some but I didn't realize they were all connected. That also finally explains why they used a 1 instead of an L for Kep1er lol.
Do you happen where I might be able to see the show in America? I've been watching A2K (fun but not my type of show), RU Next, and had plans to watch Universe Ticket and Dream Academy.
@@JeffReacts12
I'm actually not sure where you could watch it. Where did you watch Girls Planet? My guess is that it's most likely going to be available through similar channels.
BTW, the center for the theme song is Sakurai Miu from Girls Planet. The theme song MV and all the contestant intro videos are available on the Produce 101 Japan RUclips channel now.
@@kemamusa I watched Girl's Planet on iQIYI which makes sense since there were Chinese contestants. I'm not sure if this one will be there as well or not since Boys Planet wasn't. Also, that's cool that the contestants are already announced. You probably already know but I hope Yurina from Girls Planet is there. She deserved to make the final group.
@@JeffReacts12
Actually the Episode 1 of the show just became available on the official Produce 101 Japan channel. It's got the English subs, and apparently it'll be available for only a week though, so you'd better watch it soon if you wanna get into it. 😊
@@kemamusa oh cool! Thanks for the heads up!
X1 debuted and was active for 5 months only because of the vote rigging scandal. That's why you haven't heard of them because they were very short lived. Their group contract were supposed to last for 5 years but ended up only lasting for 5 months.
Oh wow that's sad :( LOL just to show how little I've heard... when I first read your comment, I was still thinking out loud "who the hell is X1?" Then I remembered what you were referencing from the video 😂
I'm glad IZ*ONE made it through their contract but I wish it had been longer...same for Kep1er :(
@@JeffReacts12 My fear was so high that time. I thought we were going to lose IZ*ONE very early as well.
@@JeffReacts12 I hope you continue more IZ*ONE reaction if you can and want to. I'm enjoying your reactions 😊
@@un1te_4_music I'm so glad you're enjoying! Sadly, since they are no longer active, it's harder to do reactions to them unless I either do a "history of" type of series at some point OR if anything gets requested. If you'd like to make a request, I'd love to add it to my request queue but fair warning, I'm about 4 months behind now on the requests so I'm only taking one per person and you'll have to be patient haha
@@un1te_4_music Yea that's what some others mentioned. I'm so happy they got to stick around... they were the definition of a supergroup. Maybe someday we can get a reunion even if it's just like an awards show performance or something
The first team in Korean history to raise funds to create a national entertainment agency against the dissolution of the team. That's IZ*ONE.
They couldn't actually be more than half active.
The voting controversy was followed by global disease.
IZ*ONE broke all records as soon as they appeared, and it was an absolute position.
Even now that they are disbanded, they are still active in many fields. It's about 30% of the 4th generation girl group in Korea.
Now that I look back,
It was the Dream Team.
Yea I obviously came into kpop after IZ*One was done but they were a powerhouse group. Like you said, a dream team. A lot of survival shows will say that the strongest group on any given mission is "the Avengers" but that's basically what IZ*ONE really was lol
There was 20 contestant in the final Debut evaluation
I think the main hitback of the vote riggings of the produce series is that because IZ*ONE was (is) so successful, it became unfair for the 2 contestants who were rigged out because they could have be that successful and famous if they were not rigged out. When the news came out, the IZ*ONE members were so heavily criticised and in so much stress.
Additional info: It was confirmed that Lee Gaeun and Han Chowon were rigged out of IZ*ONE. Lee Gaeun is now an actress and Han Chowon is now a member of LIGHTSUM from Cube ent.
Good to see you again :) Thanks for letting me know how many were left! Also that makes sense to be upset on behalf of the 2 that got rigged out but it's a shame that the members that did make it were put under such stress for something they didn't have anything to do with :( At least the other two still managed to find some success even if it wasn't as much as they would have had.
@JeffReacts12 It was just a shame because having watched Produce 48, I know how talented they both are. But I have to say that I wouldn't be able to see how they'd fit in IZ*ONE as their concept/style are vastly different.
Also a fun fact for you: Lee Gaeun was in Pledis Ent and she participated in PD48 with Yunjin of Le sserafim! They are both still very close to this day, and Gaeun went to Le Sserafim's concert last month with another contestant from PD48 and Lee Haein who was rigged from her first place in Idol School (meaning she would have been a member of Fromis_9)
@@GhostlyRae That's another reason I love survival shows. It's really nice to see them form friendships that last even after some don't make it. It makes me wish I could have done something like this so I could have made some lifelong friends haha. I live vicariously through them sometimes. Thanks for the fun fact :D
It seems I missed all of the really great survival shows like Produce 48, Idol School, Sixteen, etc. Now I try to watch all the ones that I can find so I won't miss anything!
@@JeffReacts12 I do recommend checking out PD48 if and when you can. Putting aside the voting scandal (which I want to emphasize that the vote manipulation was only during in the final debut evaluation), there were some amazing stages that came out of the show.
And I absolutely agree with you on the friendships that form from survival show. I think it's that sense of commanderie of literally surviving whatever horrible living conditions and competition they were tossed into. Whether they made it into the group or were eliminated during the show, idols that came from survival shows are also close and you can see them interacting.
Members of I.O.I are still close despite only months of promotions and I believe they had an anniversary gathering earlier this year if memory serves me right. Fromis_9 members were so happy when Yuri was announced 3rd place in PD48 and they were also behind IZ*ONE when they won their first win - Fromis_9 and IZ*ONE were under the same company way back when.
Yuri is IZONE'S main vocalist,she's now a soloist and actress,I suggest you react to her too,you won't regret it I promise
Here are some of her discographies:
Glassy,Express Moon,Autumn Memories,Love Shhh!,Round and Around,Rolla Skates,This Time,Opening(her self composed song),Loveable,Favorite Part,Blank,Taxi,Lemon Black Tea,Bitter Taste,Hang on,멍(Bruise) and she has sang some of drama osts too,My Love(Do You like Brahms? ost),Story of us(Monthly Magazine Home ost),Can you feel my heart?(Law Cafe ost),Run(The Fabulous OST),Drink it,Girls!(WLDN2 ost,she has made a special appearance in the same drama),and her latest one which is Luv Luv(My Lovely Liar ost,w/ ZB1 Hanbin),also an actress,appeared as one of the main lead in webdrama,Mimicus as Oh Rosi,had special appearance in WLDN2 as Sieun(the delinquent student),and is included in Squid Game 2 casts(role still currently unknown)
Thanks for watching and thank you for all of the Yuri info! I see you suggested quite a bit but would you like to request anything? If so, give me the top thing you think I should react to from her!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i'm crying again
I'm sorrrrryyy 😢I want them back and I wasn't even a kpop fan when they were here
@@JeffReacts12 i've being with them since day 1 of PD48 until last moment of one the story farewell concert. Every second every moment is so precious they make me happy every single time. I miss them so much always hoping for the comeback maybe like a reunion. Hope it will come true one day i'll patiently waiting here 🙂😌😘♥️♥️♥️
@nikhanis3994 I will hope alongside you. Just like I hope that CLC will have more activities together someday :( and in the future for Kep1er as well. Ugh. It's so bittersweet being a fan of groups that you know are temporary or disbanded too soon. If IZ*One ever comes back though, I'll be there ❤️
React to Kim Se-Jeong mv “Top or Cliff” that she just release. It blow you away. She appeared in the first season of produce 101 and became a member the first produce group IOI. She also in the series “The Uncanny Counter”
Thanks for the request! I'll add it to the list :)
Im crying 😢
I'm sorryyyyy :(
Pls make the 1 hour guide reaction
Sorry, I might do that for a patreon request someday but I only react to things on the channel that are 30min or less. I appreciate the request though :)
0:00-2:16 Intro
2:17-31:51 Reaction
31:52-35:16 Final Thoughts
I have a little to say about the vote-rigging case. I know well because I watched Produce 48 at the time.
I'm not saying that my claim is true, but that there must have been circumstances.
From the beginning, there was an unexpected serious problem with the voting system.
Produce 48 was an audition program consisting of trainees from Korea and contestants from Japan's AKB48.
The problem was that Korean trainees were outstanding. AKB48 was very different from the Korean girl group system, so they were active without proper professional training.
This is not a personal problem, but because there was a difference in idol culture between Korea and Japan.
This is how the vote went.
50% is reflected in Korea, and the rest is overseas.
And a duplicate vote is possible. Four or five contestants that I liked in the first round of voting.
The problem with this system is that Korean trainees get all the tickets scattered, while some Japanese trainees get all the votes.
Because the Korean trainees' skills were leveled upward.
So in the beginning, Japanese trainees formed a leading group.
The question is next.
By the time of the final, only one person had to vote. 1 vote = 1 participant
Now, what will happen?
This time, the Korean participants take all the tickets. I told you that the Korean region reflects 50% of the ticket. Korean participants were trainees from Korean agencies, so there was a big difference in skills with Japanese participants.
This audition program was originally a joint program between Korea and Japan.
By the way, there's only one Japanese trainee. Maybe Sakura
This is a failed audition.
There are 12 people selected, but there is only one Japanese. Who can accept this? It's a joint program with Japan.
Are you manipulating it? Or will the program itself fail? It's a crossroads.
It's just my imagination, but I'm pretty sure.
The voting system had to.
No, maybe it was designed like that in the first place.
The Japanese participants will see the benefits of the system that allows them to vote for several people in the beginning. The program designers couldn't have known this.
Interesting theory. I don't know about any of that but I do know I've never been a fan of shows that do that type of thing where Korean votes count for 50% and the rest of the countries all combined for the other 50%. Like Girls Planet 999 and Boys Planet. It's so dumb. Like... if you want to make a Korean group that's completely fine but don't lie to the global audience and say our votes matter then. Or if you really want global votes to matter, why let such a small population be 50% of the votes? Makes no sense
@@JeffReacts12 Here's what you said.
Until now, audition participants for Korean girl groups were practically Korea, Japan, and China, even if they were multinational.
At that time, it wasn't the time when girl groups went out to the world yet. At best, the East Asian market area was the market.
Especially, this program is Korea and Japan.
The problem is that this is going to be a national war.
Japan is four times the population of South Korea. China is dozens of times as big.
If we vote one by one...
Only Japanese and Chinese people will be chosen.
Because the population of South Korea is small, such a ratio came out.
@Panorama-memory understandable. But if you're making a global group then it doesn't matter what the nationality is of the final group members, it would only matter that it's fairly voted for by everyone. For example, girls planet 999 had contestants from China, Japan, and Korea, however making the entire world only count for 50% ensured that the final group would be almost completely Korean members. In the case of Kep1er, the group ended up with 2 Japanese girls (Mashiro and Hikaru), only one Chinese girl (Xiaoting), and the other 6 members are Korean (Yujin, Bahiyyih, Yeseo, Youngeun, Chaehyun, and Dayeon). I love Kep1er but there are other girls who didn't make it but should have if the voting was more fair (examples like Yurina or Shana or Su Ruiqi). Of course this is just one example of one show.
If the goal is to make a Korean group that is perfectly OK, but don't lie to the world and say their votes matter because they obviously didn't lol
@@JeffReacts12 Nice to meet you. Yurina was the favorite Japanese contestant on Girls Planet 999.
When she was eliminated, I doubted my eyes.
The biggest problem with these audition programs is that viewers are greatly influenced by the narratives produced by the stations.
Suruichi was an unintentional victim of a bad side in the beginning. It came out as if she had provoked Choi Yu-jin, the original author, on a helicopter stage, and she was broadcasted as if she were rude.
Anyway, the rate of correcting the vote is not as high as I thought. That's what it means. It has a direct and absolute impact on the outcome.
The problem is that no one will know this appropriate and satisfactory percentage of reflection until the vote is out..
Therefore, humans have no choice but to coordinate after seeing the final result, and that seems to be the reason for the manipulation of the number of votes.
I'm definitely not advocating vote rigging.
By the way, there is virtually no other way to correct the problem you said and the problem I said. If a human intervenes, everything is rigged.
I think IZ*ONE's situation is this kind of thing.
@@JeffReacts12 To be honest,
If we choose a Korean girl group style.. No country can beat Korean trainees.
Japan and China are providing support... There are many participants who are not even ready for basic training.
Japanese participants, Chinese contestant
If a professional seriously picks one, not a single person can be picked. This is the truth.
It's not a matter of talent, it's a matter of professional training.
Semi-pro and amateur are going to play against each other.
To be honest, a Japanese member or a Chinese member is a strategic choice. a strategy to look at the size of the market they have
These days, Korean idols don't pick Chinese people at all.
Until just a few years ago, companies chose Chinese members unconditionally.
The reason is
Chinese members ruined their reputation so much that the Chinese government banned Korean K-pop in the Chinese market.
I'll be absolutely honest.
There is no reason to choose Japanese or Chinese members except for strategic reasons. There's a huge gap in skills.
Furthermore,
BT or other teams, all of which are Korean, do not have to choose the country's members in the way of globalization. They proved that.
The trend these days is
They created a team consisting of only foreign members focusing on overseas, excluding the Korean market.
I'm doing auditions like Produce 101 Japan, Niziu Project, Vicha, The Debut: Dream Academy.
Maybe, it is because of the inevitable problems you mentioned that auditions like putting foreign members in the center of Korean members.
Because there are too many or too few Korean members.
That's why the agencies make them multinational members from the beginning.
There is no fundamental solution to the problem of voting rates and too many Korean members being chosen. In a transparent referendum system.
Even if too many Korean members are chosen, it's frustrating, and at least there will be complaints.
It is true that the population of South Korea is small, and it is true that voting becomes a national competition.
This is just what I think.
3:53 Crepe cake broo 🤦🏾♀️
Lol I've had crepes and I've had cake but I've never heard of crepe cake
❤❤
Thank you for watching :)
More iz*one
Thank you for watching! Hopefully there will be more :)
Hopefully you will react to more izone content thank you☺️☺️
I actually don't have any more requests for IZ*ONE. If anyone has a request and it's something I haven't seen or done a video on already, I'd love to add it to my request queue! Right now requests are full until about November but it depends in how quick I can get back to making videos ❤️
@@JeffReacts12 hope you would react to their dance practice or live performance...
Surely you will not be disappointed...plus their bside. Izone have one of the best bside☺️
@@chaemazing0111 do you have a specific song request? Other than Panorama because I did that one already :)
@@JeffReacts12 check out highlight sequence and ayayaya (b side)☺️☺️☺️
Pretty please🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
@chaemazing0111 I will add Highlight first cause I'm doing one per person right now and then once I get through everyone's first request I'll put your next one in line and then the other one :) Thank you for watching and requests!
i cant😭
I know. It'll never be ok. But the only way to heal is face the pain.... or hold onto the slim hope that they'll reunite someday. That's the option I'm going with!
