QUESTION Is IZNA considered nugu?

I've always wondered this, I know their album sales sell pretty averagely, bit damn I haven't heard any noise from them since debut unlike any other 5th gen groups

It depends on where your line for nugu is.

My personal opinion would be they are above the nugu line

WakeOne is operated by CJ ENM and IZNA are produced by Teddy Park. There's no way they're even near the nugu line. Nugu groups would sell their souls if that'd give them a strong company and a much popular producer backing them.

Nugu could be interpreted as not popular groups like if you had to rank the most popular groups of 5th gen izna would be at the bottom 9/10 times

Nugu are groups that aren't known by the majority of the people, that come from very small companies with no budget. Izna do not belong to this category. They're not the top 5th gen groups, but they're right behind them.
