were you a fan of ioi my friend?
would you say IOI was more like SNSD or Izone?
IOI only getting 6-8 months and a good chunk of that without popular members, just makes any real evaluation very very hard. Especially since so few did well after IOI.
Without IOI there is a good chance no Wanna one , IZ*ONE produce series/heck the massive number of survival shows ect although ofc the success of Wanna One and IZ*ONE helped fuel that.
IZ*ONE would be my pick.
Weki Meki, Gugudan, Somi, Sejeong and Chungha ( i always quibble over WJSN not really sure Yeonjung drove them much higher) cant compare to IVE, Ssera, Eunbi, Yena, Yuri, Chaeyeon, Nako and Hitomi's success back in Japan and Hii back again in Korea. just in music.
More vocals (although i would say Sejeong is better than Yuri ofc)
Had SNSD's elite variety ability and with the longer run fans were able to see so much more of the group dynamic.
Has more elite level MC's
More actors with solid roles in the say first 4 years after disbandment.
Starship is the clear winner of agencies from the produce series.
