The popular K-Pop group IZ*ONE was formed through the Mnet reality competition program Produce 48 in 2018.

The group officially made its debut in October of that same year and promoted heavily until their contracts ended in 2021, and the group disbanded.

Since the group’s disbandment, the majority of the members continued their successful careers as idols, including Choi Yena, who made her debut as a solo artist in 2022.
