Off The Record SNS Reopens, Fueling Hopes for an IZ*ONE Reunion
Off The Record Entertainment, the former agency associated with IZONE, has reopened its social media accounts, drawing attention from fans and sparking renewed speculation about a possible **IZONE reunion**.
However, there has been no official announcement confirming an IZ*ONE reunion. The renewed activity appears to be connected to Off The Record's current role as a label under WAKEONE, rather than a confirmed plan to bring IZ*ONE back together.
Off The Record Resumes Social Media Activity
Off The Record's previously inactive social media accounts have recently become active again.
The renewed presence has attracted attention because Off The Record was the agency that managed IZ*ONE during the group's activities from 2018 to 2021.
IZ*ONE debuted in October 2018 through Mnet's Produce 48 and officially concluded its project activities in April 2021. The group was managed by Off The Record and Swing Entertainment during its active period.
Why Are Fans Talking About an IZ*ONE Reunion?
The reopening of the Off The Record accounts has naturally led some fans to connect the agency's renewed activity with IZ*ONE, particularly because of its history with the group.
Fans have also noticed that the revived account is connected to artists currently associated with WAKEONE, which has further fueled discussion about the label's current direction.
However, these observations are fan speculation rather than an official indication of an IZ*ONE reunion.
No Reunion Has Been Confirmed
There is currently no official announcement from CJ ENM, WAKEONE, Off The Record, or the former IZ*ONE members confirming a reunion.
IZ*ONE's original project ended in April 2021 after the members' agencies did not reach an agreement to extend the group's activities. CJ ENM previously confirmed in June 2021 that it had been discussing various possibilities with the members' agencies, but said that nothing had been decided at that time.
Those discussions ultimately did not lead to a reunion, and the members continued their individual careers with their respective agencies.
What Is Off The Record Now?
The current Off The Record appears to have a different role from the company that managed IZ*ONE.
Recent information indicates that Off The Record has been reorganized as a sub-label of WAKEONE, with its current social media activity associated with solo artists under the broader WAKEONE system. The revived account currently follows several male solo artists connected to WAKEONE.
This means that the name Off The Record returning to social media does not, by itself, indicate that the original IZ*ONE management structure has been restored.
IZ*ONE's Legacy Continues
Although IZ*ONE officially ended its group activities in 2021, all 12 former members have continued their careers in different areas of the entertainment industry.
Several members have debuted in or continued activities with new groups, while others have pursued solo music, acting, and other entertainment projects.
The group's continued popularity has also kept interest in a possible reunion alive among WIZ*ONEs.
Final Thoughts
The reopening of Off The Record's social media accounts has certainly attracted attention from IZ*ONE fans and renewed conversations about a possible reunion.
However, there is currently no official confirmation that IZ*ONE will reunite.
For now, the SNS reopening should be viewed as part of Off The Record's current activities under WAKEONE, while any connection to a future IZ*ONE reunion remains speculation.
