I.O.I Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Reunion and Reveals Honest Thoughts on Center Position

In celebration of their 10th anniversary, the group I.O.I has reunited and shared their candid thoughts on the coveted center position.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's 'But Seriously!', airing on the 4th, the nation's beloved idol group I.O.I makes their first full appearance in a decade, capturing the audience's attention. The members are set to reveal everything from behind-the-scenes stories to their dating experiences, showcasing their unfiltered charm.

During the show, Choi Yoo-jung piqued curiosity by mentioning a special connection with MC Kai. She described Kai as a 'savior,' explaining that she watched his dance videos repeatedly during her trainee days, which helped her become a singer. This heartwarming revelation set a positive tone, and she even recreated the 'Growl' stage she practiced back then. Kai spontaneously joined her on stage, heating up the atmosphere with their joint performance.

With their comeback after 10 years, competition for positions within I.O.I was intense. Main vocalists Kim Se-jeong and Yoo Yeon-jung, along with main dancers Chungha and Choi Yoo-jung, identified each other as rivals. It was revealed that they secretly competed against each other during 'Produce 101.' A showdown between the rivals reportedly took place.

The group also opened up about their 'eternal center,' Jeon So-mi. Notably, Choi Yoo-jung, the original center during 'Produce 101,' confessed, "Dancing 'Pick Me' together after 10 years made me crave the center position again." In response, Jeon So-mi confidently stated, "Even if I think of standing behind the older members, I inevitably find myself back in that spot," reaffirming her confidence as the center.

SBS's 'But Seriously!' will air on the 4th at 10:10 PM.
