Jeon Somi expressed her dissatisfaction about some of her past promotional activities.

On the 8th, a video titled 'Girls, do you wanna make a comeback?' was posted to the Youtube channel 'Zip Daesung.'

In this video, Jeon Somi mentioned that she still had lingering regrets about her past activities. She explained that as part of the 'first generation' of audition shows, there were many difficult memories. Even though IOI had been extremely busy, they never got to go on tour. Daesung teased her by saying, "You just ended up filling everyone else's plates but your own."

In response, Jeon Somi said, "I do programs with a truly grateful heart, but there was one thing that I really didn't want to do. We did it to promote our music, but it was a haunted house experience. It was so scary. I was only 16."

Daesung sympathized, noting that appearing on variety shows from a broadcasting station was often tied together with appearing on their music programs like a package deal. Choi Yoojung added, "I feel like these days, they do everything," while Kim Sohye commented, "We only promoted for one year, but these days, groups promote for much longer."
