I could totally see Yena being in Everglow after this is all done. she totally fits the style and the vibe of 'Bon bon chocolat', and I she's great with other styles and concepts as well. Hopefully this will stick when she's done with IZ*ONE later. I know people worry that she might receive some hate, but we have to remember that she's well-liked currently in IZ*ONE, so I think her fans would support her when she goes back to her company and possibly Everglow. It's not like the situation with Red Velvet, where poor Yeri got so much hate due to the fact that she was suddenly rotated into the group. This would actually make sense as they're from the same company and she's only in a temporary group.

I think it was pretty obvious Yena was part of the debut lineup seeing as how soon they debuted after the show ended. I’m sure YueHua Ent sent 3 of them to PD48 rather than the entire group with the intention of at least getting exposure for the girls and they did. As of now, it’s very likely Yena will join them once IZ*One disbands. But that is still two years away so it’s very possible YueHua may plan a new group by then or debut her as a soloist. Keep in mind that YueHua Entertainment is a bigger company than most people think, they’re just cracking in to the korean market and figuring out how things work there. But they do have many artists active in China and they also currently have 7 idols in 4 temporary groups formed from survival shows so they’re definitely raking in money that way. So I’m not too concerned on Yena’s future since it can change pretty easily. Now if only YueHua would channel the same energy in to Uniq...
