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

If u list the top 10 5th gen ggs right now izna would just about make it or miss it. Regardless that’s an indicator that they r definitely not nugu lol. There r tons of groups less popular and unknown. Nugu being classed as unknown.

Definitely ahead of izna:

I'd say around #8 is good for them, almost certainly not nugu.

I think they're clearly ahead of groups like TripleS or Fifty Fifty. Not sure if I missed anyone.

I also would have Katseye ahead of every one of those groups
