Somi & Doyeon Same-Sex Kiss Controversy Sparks Fan Debate

I.O.I members Kim Doyeon and Jeon Somi are generating buzz with the shocking same-sex kiss scene revealed in the music video teaser for their new song "Suddenly." The 16-second teaser video features the two in dresses of contrasting colors, with Jeon Somi suddenly kissing Kim Doyeon. Kim Doyeon, upon being kissed, appears surprised and sinks to the ground.

Fans and netizens have shown keen interest in the teaser video, with reactions like, "Am I seeing this right?", "It's truly 'Suddenly,' just like the song title," and "They're really making a comeback." This scene is drawing even more attention because the two recently shared an anecdote on the SBS entertainment program "No, But Really" about a past conflict during their active period due to a misunderstanding of each other's speech patterns. Fans are interpreting this as a comeback spoiler, cheering them on with comments like, "This isn't just a reunion commemorative song; it's a proper comeback."

I.O.I is scheduled to release their new album 'I.O.I : LOOP' on May 19th.
