Former IZ*ONE Members Wonyoung And Sakura Finally Reunite On The Same Stage, And Now We’re Emotional
LE SSERAFIM‘s Sakura and IVE‘s Wonyoung are shining brightly in their respective groups. But before they redebuted this year, they were members of the same project group, IZ*ONE.
They have rarely crossed paths since their disbandment given their separate companies. After quite some time, however, the two former groupmates finally reunited on the same stage again! They performed a cover of IVE’s hit debut song “ELEVEN” at the prestigious 2022 MAMA Awards.

The rest of their team consisted of other rookie girl group members, like NMIXX‘s Sullyoon, Kep1er‘s Xiaoting and Bahiyyih, and NewJeans‘ Danielle.
