These Are IZ*ONE’s Most Popular Members According To Hi-Touch Sales

Can you guess who ranks on top?

IZ*ONE is undoubtedly popular both internationally and in Korea, particularly in Japan. Having three Japanese members and coming from Produce 48, it is no wonder that they promote in Japan with traditional methods.

One such way is through high touch events in which fans line up according to their favorite member and give them high-fives, being able to chat with them for a few moments.

Based on the eight high touch events that were held, netizens have made a compilation of the number of fans who lined up for each member. There was an obvious pattern.

The ranks for who had the most fans were as follows:

1st high touch: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena, Yujin, Nako, Eunbi, Hyewon, Hitomi, Chaeyeon

2nd: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Yujin > Hyewon > Hitomi> Eunbi > Chaeyeon

3rd: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Yujin > Hyewon > Hitomi > Eunbi > Chaeyeon

4th: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri, Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Yujin > Hyewon > Hitomi > Eunbi > Chaeyeon

6th: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Hitomi > Yujin > Hyewon > Eunbi > Chaeyeon

7th: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri > Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Hitomi, Yujin > Hyewon > Eunbi > Chaeyeon

8th: Sakura, Minjoo > Chaewon > Chaewon > Yuri, Wonyoung > Yena > Nako > Yujin > Hitomi, Hyewon > Eunbi > Chaeyeon

While Sakura’s popularity was expected coming from being one of the highest ranking in HKT48, many were pleasantly surprised by a few other member’s ranks.

Oh, Chaewon is pretty popular.

— Korean Netizen

Wow Minjoo!

— Korean Netizen

They hoped that after this period, more opportunities could be given to those members.

I hope that Chaewon can try being the center in the Japanese single once. I feel like she’ll become a hot topic.

— Korean Netizen

Some members, on the other hand, were surprisingly low ranked, unsettling fans.

Hul Lee Chaeyeon…

— Korean Netizen

Eunbi is unexpectedly low.

— Korean Netizen

Most comments, however, focused on the nature of the event.

So even things like this are getting exposed…to be honest this is way too cruel…If you don’t have a mind of steel, you won’t be able to survive this.

— Korean Netizen

Wow there are seriously so many things like this for all the Produce groups ㅋㅋ people always rank them one after the other. It sucks that they are getting ranked like this.
