IZ*ONE is a twelve-member South Korean-Japanese girl group managed by Off the Record Entertainment. The group was formed in 2018 through Mnet’s reality competition show, “Produce 48” and made their debut that same year with the release of their first EP, “Color*Iz”. With both the EP and its lead single, “La Vie en Rose” charting on Billboard’s World Albums and World Digital Songs, the group was met with immediate success. This initial success allowed the group to bring home the title New Artist of the Year from several awards shows, including the Golden Disc Awards and the Seoul Music Awards. The release of the group’s Japanese single, “Suki to Iwasetai”, early in 2019, found the track peaking at number two on the Oricon Singles Chart and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
