South Korean-Japanese girl group, IZ*ONE fanned their fans’ excitement with elegant and cute teasers ahead of the release of their first full-length Japanese album, Twelve.

 

IZ*ONE is a 12-piece group that was formed through MNET’s reality competition Produce 48. The group debuted in October 2018 with the EP Color*Iz. Upon their debut, the release peaked at No. 2 on the Gaon albums chart after selling over 225,000 album copies. Additionally, the group’s debut single “La Vie en Rose”, charted on Billboard World Albums and World Digital Songs respectively.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following the individual concept photos, IZ*ONE revealed the group and unit concept photos which saw a combination of maturity, class, and cheerfulness, ahead of their Japanese comeback. They also shared more information about their upcoming Japanese album.

The album will be released in three different physical versions with seven different cover issues: normal edition type A, normal edition type B, WIZ*ONE board edition, WIZ*ONE unit board edition type A, WIZ*ONE unit board edition type B, WIZ*ONE unit board edition type C, and WIZ*ONE unit board edition type D.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On September 18, the group finally dropped the teaser video for their upcoming Japanese comeback single, “Beware”. In contrast to the mature concept photos, the teaser video showed the adorable side of the girls as they portrayed charming candy shop employees. This will be the group’s first-ever ‘cute’ concept for a title track since their debut, as the girls had opted for more elegant and mystical concepts for their Korean promotions, and powerful concepts in their Japanese promotions.

Twelve, the first full-length Japanese album from IZ*ONE, will be released on October 21 and will feature 12 tracks, including selected tracks from previous Korean-language records re-released in Japanese – “好きと言わせたい”, “Buenos Aires”, “Vampire”, “Waiting (Type A/B)”, “Yummy Summer (Type A)”, “どうすればいい? (Type B)”, “Shy boy ※WIZ*ONE盤収録曲”, “La Vie en Rose_Japanese Ver.”, “Violeta_Japanese Ver.”, “FIESTA_Japanese Ver.”, “好きになっちゃうだろう？(IZ*ONE Ver.)”, “夢を見ている間_Japanese Ver. (IZ*ONE Ver.)”, and the title track, “Beware ※全Type収録曲”. PULP
