Netizens note that IZ*ONE's return does not involve the CJ ENM 2021 main project line up

On February 4, CJ ENM published a list of its main projects that will begin in 2021.

However, there is no group name IZ * ONE, considering IZ * ONE is one of CJ's ENM major projects that they handled. 

Therefore, netizens speculated that maybe they would not renew the contracts of the idol group.

Here are some comments of netizens:

“But I mean… the only answer is disbandment. At this point, it would be wrong to try to extend the contract ".

“If any IZ * ONE member tries to renew their contract knowing the show was fraudulent? Now it really makes them suspicious ".

"Most of the members had better agencies when they disbanded. They can then actually debut in a fixed group. ", And various other comments.

However, the list of main projects is also considered not a benchmark because not all activities of CJ ENM in 2021 are included in it.
