Iz*One (Korean: 아이즈원, romanized: Aijeuwon; Japanese: アイズワン, romanized: Aizuwan; stylized in all caps) was a South Korean–Japanese girl group formed in 2018 through the talent show Produce 48 (the third season of Produce 101). The group was made of twelve members: Jang Won-young, Sakura Miyawaki, Jo Yu-ri, Choi Ye-na, An Yu-jin, Nako Yabuki, Kwon Eun-bi, Kang Hye-won, Hitomi Honda, Kim Chae-won, Kim Min-ju and Lee Chae-yeon.[1] They started to make music on October 29, 2018,[2][3][4] and they stopped on April 29, 2021.

Name[change | change source]

The group's name, Iz*One (stylized in all caps), was a fan suggestion. "IZ" looks like the number 12, because the group is formed by twelve members. "One" means that they are all together in the same group. The asterisk "*" represents the twelve astrological zodiacal signs.

Their fans are called "Wiz*One" (stylized in all caps). It sounds like "We are one", but the "Wiz" is also for "Wizard", because the fans and the group will experience a "magical future" together.[5][6]
