The group will release their forthcoming Japanese album, also titled Vampire, on September 25.
IZ*ONE is currently holding concerts in several countries. With the title Eyes On Me, the 12 girls already concluded shows in various regions in Asia, such as in Taipei, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and in different parts of Japan. On September 25, they are slated to hold a concert at Saitama Super Arena.
The girls kicked off their concert tour in Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. Around 18,000 WIZ*ONES were able to secure tickets and see the ladies perform live. IZ*ONE performed their hit tracks Violeta, La Vie En Rose, Goodbye, and I Want To Be A Cat.
Before wrapping up, the group expressed their gratitude to their fans.
"It is a pleasure to finally hold a solo concert. Thanks to your support, we were able to finish successfully," IZ*ONE told the attendees. At the concert, they also announced the other countries they plan to hold shows at.
Meanwhile, the group recently became the center of public glare after they were allegedly spotted lip-syncing at their concert held in Fukuoka. Online users were quick to give their two cents regarding this matter. According to them, members Choi Yena and Ahn Yujin were caught not using the backtrack during the show.
"Even the main vocal is lip-syncing?" A Korean social media user asked.
"Give all their money to Ahn Yujin and Choi Yena. How are the rest of the kids earning money while being like this?" Another one questioned.
In spite of this, many fans still found reasons to compliment Choi Yena, especially her versatility. One netizen commended the idol through the words, "I think that overall, Choi Yena has the best skills in the group. First of all, I find her pretty. I felt it during Produce. When they needed her to be the main vocal, she was the main vocal. When they needed her to be the main rapper, she was the main rapper."
IZ*ONE was formed in the survival reality show Produce 48. And despite being new to the industry, they already proved they can do so much and have so much to offer. They were named as the new top artist by Oricon when it comes to music sales. Moreover, they have already earned JP¥510 million worth of music sales.
