On December 30, CJ ENM’s CEO Heo Min Heoi held a press conference to make a formal apology regarding the manipulation controversy surrounding the “Produce 101” series.

He shared regarding IZ*ONE and X1, “We will provide all possible support for them to resume their activities. Along with the emotional pressure that the members have experienced and the support of fans, we have been continuously discussing plans for the resumption of their activities.”

He continued, “Mnet will give up all profits gained through the future activities of the two groups. We will also work to carry out specific compensation for damages as soon as possible. This incident is our fault and not the fault of the artists who debuted or of the trainees. We earnestly request that everyone will help protect them together.”

Stay tuned for the translation of the full statement.

I love this line "This incident is our fault and not the fault of the artists who debuted or of the trainees. We earnestly request that everyone will help protect them together.”

Finally! I already gave up expecting good music from Izone after that Vampire disaster but I hope at least X1 continue the quality after Flash

 

[BL4ZE]

That’s good to hear! I’m really hoping IZ*ONE coming back soon!

 

[Grape Soda]

Im glad they revealed the part that they wont be earning anything from the two groups.
Lose millions as you should.

 

[BlueNose]

ayyy good for them. happy to see them both back and hopefully they promote with little to no hate

 

[Pyron]

This year was a bit too terrible in terms of news, so any good news is welcoming. Hope 2020 is a good new start for both groups.

 

[Polaris_Tae]

Congrats! M-net is lucky that the agencies didn't pull their trainees out of those groups throughout the scandal tbh
Looking forward to the next god-tier X1 B-Sides!!!

These statements are critical. Nothing in set in stone yet.

"When asked what the plan is if eliminated trainees wish to join IZ*ONE or X1, he responded, “This is not a matter for us to decide but what should be agreed upon with the agencies. Judgments will be made through discussions with the members and agencies.”

On IZ*ONE, he commented, “IZ*ONE promoted for over one year. They temporarily halted activities, but they are still contracted. There are also lots of requests from fans. The plan is for them to quickly resume activities.”

Regarding X1, he added, “We are still under discussion with the members and agencies. The resulting plan has not been confirmed yet. We are working on an agreement with adequate consideration of the opinions of the members and agencies. We will share an announcement once it is confirmed.”

He continued, “There are members who debuted in accordance with the actual votes. As their activities were halted, it seems that they have felt strong emotional pain and pressure. Their fans have also shown continuous support for their activities. We have based our judgments based on these factors. We are still discussing with their agencies, but I am aware that somewhat of an agreement has been reached on continuing with the same members. It has not been confirmed though.”"

This is great i just kept my expectations low to avoid disappointment tbh but i knew it the moment i saw hitomi in the airport smiling that izone will be ok and im not even a fan

 

[Zweig]

YEAH! Great news!

 

[yknok]

Actually, CJ E&M just threw the companies involved and the members under the bus. Since CJ will not 'take profits', they will not invest anything for the groups' activities. They are on their own now.

Finally this nightmare is over! Hope for a PD48 reunion on music shows from now on!
