Former IZ*NA member Yoon Ji-yoon, who officially left the group on August 19th, has been the subject of recent updates.
Similar to the first sighting, she was seen with Ryan, a contestant from BOYS PLANET 2, raising questions about their relationship.
Born in 2005, Yoon Ji-yoon finished third on Mnet's girl group survival audition program 〈I-LAND2〉, which aired in 2024.
She was selected as a member of Wake One's seven-member girl group IZ*NA and officially debuted on November 25, 2024.
In IZ*NA, Yoon Ji-yoon was a key member, holding the position of main vocalist.
However, just three months after their debut, in February 2025, she halted activities due to health reasons.
Six months later, Wake One announced that Yoon Ji-yoon would be leaving IZ*NA altogether.
While the reason given was also health-related, many fans are skeptical.
Yoon Ji-yoon still remains in the artist section of Wake One's website.
The first sighting of Yoon Ji-yoon after leaving IZ*NA was in mid-September.
Eyewitness accounts claimed that Ryan from BOYS PLANET 2 was seen in Gangnam with Yoon Ji-yoon, Kim Min-sol, and an unidentified man.
Ryan was also seen with his hand on Yoon Ji-yoon's shoulder, leading to speculation about a romantic relationship.
Ryan, an American citizen, is one year younger than Yoon Ji-yoon, born in 2006, and is 186cm tall. He is under WAYF Entertainment.
Ryan, who participated in BOYS PLANET 2, was eliminated in the second ranking announcement at 53rd place.
He made his solo debut on July 31st with the debut single 'AROJIN'.
Yoon Ji-yoon's second update involves her appearance in Ryan's 30-second TikTok challenge video.
The video was deleted less than two hours after being posted, but Ji-yoon's name trended, and it has already spread widely.
Netizens commented that Ji-yoon looked healthy and energetic in the video, questioning Wake One's claim of health issues as the reason for her departure from IZ*NA.
Some speculate whether Ryan and Yoon Ji-yoon are friends or dating. Others wonder if Yoon Ji-yoon has signed with Ryan's agency and is restarting her entertainment career.
A hint may be found on WYAF Entertainment's Instagram, where Yoon Ji-yoon's name has appeared.
It feels like Ji-yoon is going to take the All Deaf Youngseo route.
