Mnet Officially Addresses IZ*ONE’s Upcoming Promotions In Light Of The Vote Manipulation Charges
Mnet has responded officially to the vote manipulation charges and the public calls for IZ*ONE to disband. Due to the fraudulent votes, many felt that the best route of choice is for IZ*ONE to disband and not promote further. Recently, it was revealed that many trainees who were supposed to be in the debut lineup were pushed out unfairly.
Mnet has assured fans that IZ*ONE will be continuing to promote and will be releasing their new album next month, as planned. Their appearance on the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) will also go on as scheduled.
They will be releasing their new album as planned, on 7 December 2020 and they will also be participating in the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) on 6 December 2020.
