These Are IZ*ONE’s Most Popular Members According To Hi-Touch Sales
IZ*ONE is undoubtedly popular both internationally and in Korea, particularly in Japan. Having three Japanese members and coming from Produce 48, it is no wonder that they promote in Japan with traditional methods.
One such way is through high touch events in which fans line up according to their favorite member and give them high-fives, being able to chat with them for a few moments.
Based on the eight high touch events that were held, netizens have made a compilation of the number of fans who lined up for each member. There was an obvious pattern.
The ranks for who had the most fans were as follows:
1st high touch: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena, Yujin, Nako, Eunbi, Hyewon, Hitomi, Chaeyeon
2nd: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Yujin > Hyewon > Hitomi> Eunbi > Chaeyeon
3rd: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Yujin > Hyewon > Hitomi > Eunbi > Chaeyeon
4th: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri, Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Yujin > Hyewon > Hitomi > Eunbi > Chaeyeon
6th: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Hitomi > Yujin > Hyewon > Eunbi > Chaeyeon
7th: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Hitomi, Yujin > Hyewon > Eunbi > Chaeyeon
8th: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri, Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Yujin > Hitomi, Hyewon > Eunbi > Chaeyeon
While Sakura’s popularity was expected coming from being one of the highest ranking in HKT48, many were pleasantly surprised by a few other member’s ranks.
Oh, Chaewon is pretty popular.

Wow Minjoo!
— Korean Netizen
They hoped that after this period, more opportunities could be given to those members.
I hope that Chaewon can try being the center in the Japanese single once. I feel like she’ll become a hot topic.
— Korean Netizen
Some members, on the other hand, were surprisingly low ranked, unsettling fans.
Hul Lee Chaeyeon…
— Korean Netizen
Eunbi is unexpectedly low.
— Korean Netizen
Most comments, however, focused on the nature of the event.
So even things like this are getting exposed…to be honest this is way too cruel…If you don’t have a mind of steel, you won’t be able to survive this.
— Korean Netizen
Wow there are seriously so many things like this for all the Produce groups ㅋㅋ people always rank them one after the other. It sucks that they are getting ranked like this.
