JAKARTA - An Yu Jin, ex IZ*ONE, will start his career in the new Starship Entertainment group, IVE. Previously, the agency Starship announced they would launch a girl group in the second half of 2021.

At that time they did not tell whether Jang Won Young and An Yu Jin would join the group. The puzzle was solved.

Tuesday, November 2, Starship released the first photo of An Yu Jin as a member of the group IVE on social media. There are two photos with different concepts, the first is Yu Jin in a white T-shirt and Yu Jin with tied hair.

Yu Jin has a position as a leader, namely the group leader and vocalist. Therefore, fans will hear his sweet voice through the release of songs with IVE.

Since embarking on a career in the entertainment world, Yu Jin decided to leave the School of Performing Arts (SOPA) in 2019. IZ*ONE's rising popularity forced him to homeschool.

After IZ*ONE's disbandment, Yu Jin has been getting busier as a host for My Little Television. However, in episode 34, he left because of the Mnet vote manipulation investigation process for the Produce 48 program.
