Having been hit pretty hard with the ‘Produce 101’ series’ voting manipulation controversy, it’s inevitable that the reaction from fans will be quite extreme.Some domestic fans have been saying that despite the noise surrounding the news, it seems unlikely that this is actually going to happen. One fan brought up how Wanna One was also in talks of a contract extension, but the group ended up disbanding any way.For fans who have been excited to hear about the potential contract extension, they have mainly been saying that because IZONE has had amazing achievements in terms of album sales and chart rankings, it only makes sense for them to continue on.One important point that fans who are in favor of the contract extension has made was that an extension wouldn’t mean that the group will be permanent, but will just remain in the scene just a bit longer before eventually disbanding later on in the future.They have also stated that because the members are all doing much better than they would have in their own respective agencies, business-wise, this is a move that makes sense and should be taken.So it seems that fans will be continuing to talk about this particular subject for quite some time until the actual decision is made.In the meantime, one thing to note is that we are actually living in a unique moment, as COVID-19 continues to be a pandemic that is negatively affecting the K-Pop music industry. This means that the risk may be comparably higher to create new groups at the moment, and it is safer to stick to what has proven to work.What are your thoughts on the possibility of IZONE’s contract extension?
