'10th anniversary' IOI confirms May comeback ... Full group return after 9 years

SOURCE: '10주년' 아이오아이 5월 컴백 확정..완전체 9년만[공식]

Girl group IOI is making a comeback to the music scene to celebrate their 10th debut anniversary.

On the 23rd, Swing Entertainment announced, "IOI (Im Nayoung, Chungha, Kim Sejeong, Jung Chaeyeon, Kim Sohye, Yoo Yeonjung, Choi Yoojung, Kim Doyeon, Jeon Somi) has confirmed a comeback this May. They are currently preparing a new album." Swing Entertainment will be exclusively managing IOI and their comeback activities for this 10th anniversary project.

This marks their first activity in about nine years since 2017. It's a reunion to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut, making it especially meaningful for fans. The members have consistently shown their desire to reunite in various interviews and public events. After long discussions, they have finally come together again. However, Kang Mina and Zhou Jieqiong will not be able to participate due to prior schedules. Therefore, IOI will return as a 9-member group.

As the members have built successful careers as solo artists, actresses, and entertainers in their own fields, expectations are high for the new music and upgraded performances they will show as a team after 10 years. There's also growing interest in what kind of synergy their individual experiences and personalities will bring to the group.

IOI is a project group formed through national voting on Mnet's 'Produce 101' in 2016 and officially made their debut in May of that year. Starting with their debut song 'Dream Girls,' they released many hits including 'Whatta Man,' 'Very Very Very,' and 'Downpour.' They swept first places on music shows and topping major music charts, quickly establishing themselves as one of the leading girl groups in the music industry.

Based on these achievements, IOI won 'Rookie of the Year' awards at major ceremonies like Mnet Asian Music Awards, Golden Disc Awards, and Seoul Music Awards. Besides music, they were also active on various TV shows, solidifying their title as the 'Nation's Girl Group,' before officially finishing their activities with a concert in January 2017.

Along with the new album, IOI plans to meet global fans directly by starting a concert in Seoul followed by an Asia tour. They are promising a large-scale performance to satisfy the long-awaited anticipation of fans who have waited nine years.

Jeon Somi's uniform

I saw it on her Instagram. She looks so pretty..

pann

[+149][-99]

1. [+161][-7] This is Hanlim's skirt uniform size 44, it's originally this short.. It looks shorter on her because she's tall..

2. [+145][-107] Her skirt is so freaking short..

3. [+94][-148] Somi wasn't this type of kid back in middle school.. She shortened her skirt way too much..

4. [+61][-4] Hanlim's skirt uniforms are originally that short, and it looks way much shorter on Somi because she's tall.. Shut your mouth if you don't know anything about that.. You guys are so ridiculous..

5. [+41][-3] Somi got interviewed when she first enrolled to Hanlim and in that interview she said, 'The skirt here is really short.' 'Why is the skirt so short?'. I bet you guys didn't even bother to watch the video before judging her. And on top of that, Somi is tall, she has a really long legs. People with short legs absolutely can't relate to that. Get your facts right first without judging, you guys are pathetic.
