IZ*ONE, a dream festival in full bloom… Release of first full-length album [BLOOM*IZ]! IZ*ONE releases first full-length album [BLOOM*IZ]… An invitation to the glamorous festival they dream of! IZ*ONE brings the Flower Series to a grand finale… Release of first full-length album [BLOOM*IZ]
IZ*ONE aims for a third consecutive hit with first full-length album [BLOOM*IZ]… Title track ‘FIESTA’! IZ*ONE finally makes a full-scale comeback on February 17th with their first full-length album [BLOOM*IZ], aiming for a third consecutive hit home run with the title track ‘FIESTA’. Following their Korean debut album [COLOR*IZ] in 2018 and their second mini-album [HEART*IZ] last April, IZ*ONE swept first place on domestic and international album and digital charts, broke their own records for first-week sales, and recorded sold-out shows for their first tour 'EYES ON ME', drawing about 80,000 people across 8 overseas regions. Now, confirming their domestic comeback after about 10 months, they prove their limitless growth through their first full-length album.
The first full-length album [BLOOM*IZ], which IZ*ONE presents in a renewed way, is a compound word of ‘BLOOM’, meaning ‘to blossom’, and ‘IZ*ONE’, capturing the various images of twelve girls who are finally on the verge of ‘full bloom’ with the beauty of a ‘climax’. In particular, this album [BLOOM*IZ] is even more meaningful as it serves as the finale of the ‘FLOWER series’ that continued through ‘La Vie en Rose’ and ‘Violetta’. Having gone through growing pains to prepare for full bloom to achieve the wishes they have kept in their hearts, IZ*ONE presents all 12 of their diverse colors and infinite possibilities through this album, and it is now their turn to bear the fruit of a glamorous dream that has bloomed more dazzlingly and beautifully.
Furthermore, the title track ‘FIESTA’, as its name suggests, embodies the image of a ‘festival’ to express the sight of IZ*ONE coming together to create a climax and full bloom, portraying it more boldly and glamorously. If the red passion of ‘La Vie en Rose’ met the heart of love in ‘Violetta’ to paint a shining future, ‘FIESTA’ is about making that dreamed-of future a reality now. In addition, the first full-length album features a rich tracklist of 12 songs filled with the more mature voices of IZ*ONE, including group tracks ‘EYES’, ‘SPACESHIP’, ‘Not a Coincidence’, ‘YOU & I’, and ‘OPEN YOUR EYES’, as well as unit songs with various configurations such as ‘DREAMLIKE’, ‘AYAYAYA’, ‘SO CURIOUS’, ‘DAYDREAM’, ‘PINK BLUSHER’, and ‘Someday Our Night Will Pass Too’.
To ensure the moment they have waited for shines even brighter, IZ*ONE, who has finally bloomed glamorously in diverse colors while absorbing all their hard work, is once again poised for an endless flight toward even higher goals, showcasing their sincerity toward their dreams and their further grown appearance through their first full-length album [BLOOM*IZ].
