Kwon Eun-bi Reveals Journey from First Debut Failure to IZ*ONE Re-debut on 'Donmakase'

Singer Kwon Eun-bi, appearing on the MBN entertainment show 'Donmakase', candidly shared her story of facing her first debut failure before successfully re-debuting with the group IZ*ONE.

During the broadcast on the 7th, Kwon Eun-bi, often dubbed the 'Goddess of Waterbomb', described the festival as a 'summer music celebration where you can enjoy both playing in the water and the music.' She also shared tips for stage makeup, mentioning the use of waterproof products to combat melting and smudging.

Notably, she recounted her experience in 2014, when her initial debut went largely unnoticed, leading to the team's disbandment. After approximately four years of further training, she participated in the audition program 'Produce 48', ultimately forming the group IZ*ONE.

Reflecting on the challenging times she endured to achieve success, first with IZ*ONE and now as a solo artist, Kwon Eun-bi stated, 'Everyone needs a period of despair. I believe those times allowed me to endure until now.' She added, 'Back then, I just held on with the mindset of 'I must endure,' and the support from many friends and family was crucial. I am grateful that so many people recognize me now.'

Netizens expressed their support, commenting, 'Kwon Eun-bi must have had a really tough time before her re-debut,' 'She truly shone during her IZ*ONE activities, and I'll cheer for her as a solo artist too!', and 'Thanks for the stage makeup tips!'
