Following their disbandment, IZ*ONE's fandom, WIZ*ONE, started the initiative "Parallel Universe" to re-launch the group. Despite raising one billion won (around $900,000), having careful discussions with the members' respective agencies and CJ ENM, and the support of the community, the plans to re-launch the group fell through.
Since then, each of the former IZ*ONE members have been focusing on their respective activities.
