I.O.I is reuniting after 10 years and the way they made it happen is so iconic
TL;DR — IN KOREAN VIBES

I.O.I's 10th debut anniversary reunion was announced and their Radio Star appearance where they revealed the behind-the-scenes story of how they personally organized it went viral. The fact that the members self-initiated the reunion by writing their own contract and visiting CJ ENM directly shocked fans.

bro. TEN YEARS. I.O.I has been gone for a decade and it genuinely feels like yesterday they were on Produce 101 breaking everyone's hearts 😭 time is NOT real.

so apparently the girls went on Radio Star and spilled the whole story behind the reunion — and honestly? the loyalty these women have for each other is sending me. before the official I.O.I reunion schedule even started, they all got together and literally WROTE AND SIGNED A CONTRACT among themselves saying none of them would book solo schedules during the reunion period. no cap, they drafted this themselves, no label forcing them. just the girls holding each other accountable fr fr.

and THEN — as if that wasn't iconic enough — they didn't just wait around for it to happen. they went and personally showed up to CJ ENM's office to make the reunion happen themselves. like they walked in and said 'we want this, make it work.' the audacity, the unity, the MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY. these women understood the assignment 10 years later and I am not okay about it 🫡
