News is breaking out in regards to IZ*ONE and X1. Both groups were put on hiatus due to the “Produce 101” scandal.
IZ*ONE will be resuming schedule this month. All members agencies have agreed for them to resume activity. IZ*ONE schedules will be released soon.
Unfortunately, the opposite has happened to X1. Four months after their debut, the group has now been disbanded.
A joint press release was released by the members agencies.
All members agencies were unable to come up with a unanimous agreement and thus, it was decided that the group disband.
Members have now released videos about the group disbanding.
You must’ve been shocked by the news, so I apologize.
During the program, I learnt a lot and met a lot of good people. I won’t forget all you’ve done for me.
During the time as an X1 member, I was happy bc of you so I am thankful and grateful for it.pic.twitter.com/0v2qKkJJVn— nat 🦊 승우니’s manager (@bugiwoos) January 6, 2020

IZ*ONE members respective agencies’ didn’t gather and negotiate like X1 agencies did, because IZ*ONE has a contract with CJ Entertainment, X1 does not. So, where the agencies wanted the resumption of activities of IZ*ONE, but for X1, there were certain agencies that could not come up with an agreement.
[Official] 200106 CJ side shared, “Each IZ*ONE members’ agencies are reviewing the resumption of activities positively. CJENM will respect the members and agencies opinions, and we will actively support if IZ*ONE resumes its activities”

yes i need an apology but not THIS kind of apology. not from the PEOPLE I LOVE SO MUCH, not from the people who didnt do anything wrong. they were just kids who didnt do nothing but dream, share their talent & inspire a lot of ppl. that was so fucking insensitice of u @MBK_BOYS .

I hope those who blames Izone should also realize that Izone has AKS and not just all CJ. Japan has been really good with them and shows a lot of support throughout this mess so it might also had been a factor in their agreement aside from the contract bounding them

i’m a produce fan since the first season and im gonna say this. produce groups slap differently when theyre together. ioi is not ioi, wanna one is not wanna one, izone is not izone and x1 is not x1 without all the members in the respective groups. PERIOD

It’s all about money right?These greedy companies are all after money right? X1 sales were so high for a rookie group.X1 would’ve gotten so big if they let them continue but no they’re dumb..The potential that X1 has. In less than one night they raised in charts.#WeTrustX1 pic.twitter.com/UisaZUxLIX

if other top 20 can happily live their post pdx life, izone can continue their activities then why can’t x1?
they’re all victims so what did x1 do so wrong that everyone else get the justice EXCEPT THEM

Dear Fandoms all over the World,
We, ONE IT’s are having the hardest time of our lives right now. Of course, you don’t know how it feels bec you haven’t experience it. But please, with all due respect, give this time to us. I am begging you to hear our cries 😭🥺#WeTrustX1

We’re all hurting, but can you imagine how hurt & lonely the boys are right now?? Perhaps 10x what we’re going through. They’ve sacrificed so much & they had nothing to do w/ this mess yet they’re the most affected. More than anything, I pray for their mental health. #WeTrustX1
