Recently, ahead of the release of her new digital single ‘DEJAVU,’ Kwon Eun-bi met with SPOTV News at a café in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, and discussed her new song and activities in depth.
Kwon Eun-bi was selected as a member of IZ*ONE, the debut group formed through Mnet's audition program 'Produce 48' in 2018, and carried out group activities. IZ*ONE, which received great love both in Korea and abroad by releasing major hit songs such as 'La Vie en Rose,' 'Violeta,' 'Fiesta,' and 'Panorama' during its activities, has been pursuing separate paths since its official activity period ended in 2021.
As I.O.I, the senior girl group from 'Produce 101,' recently reunited and released a new song to mark its 10th debut anniversary, receiving great love, fans' expectations for an IZ*ONE reunion in 2028, when the group will mark its 10th debut anniversary, have also grown.
Amid this, expectations grew even further after reports recently emerged that the IZ*ONE members had gathered, led by Kwon Eun-bi. Kwon Eun-bi, Jo Yu-ri, Choi Ye-na, Kim Chae-won, Kim Min-ju, Honda Hitomi, and Yabuki Nako were reportedly present at the gathering, where they shared memories from their IZ*ONE days and updates on their lives.
Kwon Eun-bi began, "Recently, after seeing our seniors in I.O.I happily performing on stage through their 10th-anniversary activities, we met among ourselves and talked about how we wanted to release an album and promote together when our 10th anniversary came around."
She said, "We gathered after seeing our seniors' activities, and while watching them perform, we talked about how we should come together too if the circumstances allowed. I really wanted to do it. I thought that if we came together like that, we could do so well too. I thought it would be wonderful if we could come together even once when we were feeling happy and beautiful, and when the opportunity arose. I think I also developed a sense of responsibility that I should step forward to make it happen," expressing her determination regarding activities for the 10th anniversary.
Meanwhile, Kwon Eun-bi's new digital single ‘DEJAVU’ will be released through major music streaming sites at 6 p.m. today.
