Seasons 1 and 2 of Produce 101 aired in 2016 and 2017 and spawned the groups IOI and Wanna One . What was new about this season was not only the name, but also that the 96 participants consisted of South Korean trainees and members of the Japanese girl group AKB48 and its sister groups. Well-known South Korean participants were, among others, Lee Chae-yeon (known for her participation in " K-Pop Star 3 " and "Sixteen"), Jang Gyuri (member of the girl group Fromis 9 ), Kim Min-ju (known as an actress) , Park Min-ji and Kim Si-hyeon (both participants in the first season of "Produce 101").

On September 21, it was announced that the newly founded agency Off the Record Entertainment would take over the management of IZ * ONE. The group was originally under contract with Pledis Entertainment and Stone Music Entertainment.

Off the Record Entertainment announced on September 24th that the three Japanese members Miyawaki Sakura, Yabuki Nako and Honda Hitomi would suspend all activities for their groups AKB48 and HKT48 until the dissolution of IZ * ONE in April 2021. Before that, the three girls will record one last single with AKB48, which will be released on November 28th.
