IOI Concert Tour After 9 Years

Girl group I.O.I is reuniting as a nine-member group for the first time in nine years to celebrate their 10th debut anniversary. They will release a new album in May and hold an Asian tour titled 'LOOP'.

The concert will kick off from May 29th to 31st at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul, followed by stops in major Asian cities including Bangkok, Thailand, and Hong Kong. This marks the first concert with all members together in nine years since their 'Time Slip - I.O.I' performance in 2017.

The concert name 'LOOP' symbolizes the reunion with fans and a new beginning, carrying the message that the team's story, which seemed to have ended, is now continuing. This performance is set to be a special occasion, going beyond a simple reunion to allow fans and I.O.I to reconnect.

I.O.I was formed in 2016 through Mnet's audition program 'Produce 101' and gained immense popularity with hit songs like 'Very Very Very' and 'Dream Girls'. Although their official activities concluded in January 2017, the members have consistently expressed their desire to reunite.

Kang Mina and Zhou Jieqiong will not be participating in this activity due to pre-existing schedules. The group will proceed as a nine-member unit consisting of Im Nayoung, Chung Ha, Kim Sejeong, Jung Chaeyeon, Kim Sohye, Yoo Yeonjung, Choi Yoojung, Kim Doyeon, and Jeon Somi.
