Singer Jeon So-mi mentioned the group IOI reunion.

Jeon So-mi recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Yongsan, Seoul, saying, `The 10th anniversary of I.O.I. is positive. I'm trying to work beautifully without being lazy.'

The project group IOI, which debuted in May 2016 through the Mnet audition program `Produce 101', is a group that received great love for hits such as 'So Very', 'Downpour', and 'Dreamgirls'. Even after the project activities ended in January 2017, the members still maintained an unwavering friendship.




As a result, there are many people who look forward to 'IoI's 10th anniversary' which will be specially celebrated next year. I.O.I. Center Jeon So-mi also cautiously promised to reunite in five years at the end of I.O.I. activities, but it was not easy in the situation because each of them was in different areas," he said in his rhyme.

Then "But it's the 10th anniversary, so many people want it and we're also hoping for it. So this time, we are talking in advance. I'm trying to do well next year, so I'm adjusting my schedule."

I am grateful for the question that is still interested in IOI that "'Do you still have any thoughts of recombination, do you have a group chat?' It talks well about how to do it well with just the right pretty memory for everyone without clinging on. It's positive."

However, as Jeon So-mi is trying to change to her second EP album 'Caotic & Confused' and is establishing herself as a solo artist, there are also likely to be concerns about identity between the group and the solo artist.

However, Jeon So-mi said "The music video came out to the extent that I think it will be, and if it touches the public, I think you can see it differently between I.O.I. Somi and Solo Somi." I thought you'd look at it separately."

Also "In that sense, this album was important. That's when I felt 'DumDum'. I prepared how to show you as a solo artist, and from then on, I prepared as a solo singer Somi. I thought mine could remain original as mine, and I think I'll stay as an idol Somi in IOI."




Jeon So-mi's second EP 'Caotic & Confused' and title song 'Closer' will be released at 6 p.m. on August 11.
