On March 4, at the "birthday party" of Juri Takahashi (21 years old) held at the AKB48 Theater in Akihabara, Tokyo, Juri Takahashi announced his decision to graduate. At the same time, it was announced that after graduation, he would debut as an artist at the Korean artist agency Woollim Ent.
Although the news that Juri Takahashi suddenly announced her graduation and went to South Korea to develop was sudden, fans who know her should know that the reason why they chose South Korea to debut again was due to PRODUCTION48.
PRODUCE48 is a Korean talent show, after layers of screening, and finally at the end of last year, the new group "IZ*ONE" composed of 12 winning Japanese and Korean members officially debuted. Among the 20 members selected at the end of the show, the Japanese members were Ryo Miyazawa and Naoko Yabuki of HKT48, Hitomi Honda of AKB48 Team8 and Juri Takahashi. Unfortunately, Juri Takahashi ultimately failed.
Juri Takahashi
Japanese and Korean entertainment reporter Yoshioka Pointed out that the original Takahashi Juri's K-POP ambitions were very strong, which was also her goal. Although she lost the IZ*ONE, seeing the development of Miyazawa and others, I think it is very likely that she will work in the direction of K-POP in the future. Coupled with the invitation of Woollim, Shunshui Tuizhou chose South Korea to debut. IZ*ONE has two members of Woollim, which facilitates the exchange of information for Takahashi and is an important factor in her choice.
Speaking of Juri Takahashi, as the captain of Team8, she has been selected for the AKB group general election for three consecutive years. They are: 15th in 2016, 11th in 2017 and 12th in 2018. At the same time, she has also participated in movies, TV series, stage plays, and also starred in the documentary program "Future ☆ Monsters".
A reporter also pointed out that Takahashi has said that he wants to become a world-class idol. It is said that Takahashi's debut groups are Japanese and Korean idol groups like TWICE' and 'IZ*ONE. The Korean market is small, so Korean idol groups should continue to expand their overseas activities. By participating in the selection of PRODUCE48, Takahashi's popularity has increased a lot, and she is likely to be more popular than the members of the same group, and may even drive the popularity of the group.
It can be seen that The odds of Takahashi's re-debut in South Korea are still very high.
