Project group I.O.I, formed through Mnet’s PRODUCE 101 in 2016, will return as a full group for the first time in about nine years to mark their 10th anniversary.
On the 21st, Swing Entertainment announced, “I.O.I (Im Nayoung, Chungha, Kim Se-jeong, Jung Chaeyeon, Kim Sohye, Yoo Yeonjung, Choi Yoojung, Kim Doyeon, Jeon Somi) will make a comeback on May 19 with their third mini album, ‘I.O.I : LOOP.’”
Starting on the 22nd, I.O.I will roll out a mood film, concept photos, tracklist, album preview, music video teaser, and audio snippets, officially kicking off the comeback countdown. The group will drop a pre-release track on May 4 alongside a YouTube Live to connect with fans, then begin full promotions with the album release on May 19.
I.O.I is a project group formed by national vote on PRODUCE 101. They were loved from debut, leaving behind hits like “Very Very Very” and “Downpour.” After wrapping official activities with a concert in January 2017, this reunion after about nine years carries extra meaning for fans.
Following the album drop, I.O.I will hold the “2026 I.O.I Concert Tour: LOOP” at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul from May 29 to 31, continuing a range of activities to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
