- “I dare you to make a statement about IZ*ONE’s manipulation too, haha.”

- “What do you think about speaking out on the manipulation involving the group you’re affiliated with?”
- “Please speak out about IZONE’s manipulation and vote rigging. #AhnJoonYoung #PD. When the ranking manipulation for PRODUCE 48 was admitted, IZ*ONE’s first full album release was delayed to 2020, and their schedules were repeatedly canceled, dealing a direct blow to the group. It’s also been revealed that the agency requested specific members be manipulated into the group. #ManipulatedGroup #VoteRigging #IZONE #Produce101.”
