Beloved project girl group I.O.I are officially gearing up for a long-awaited return. To mark their 10th anniversary, the group has confirmed plans for a reunion concert in spring 2026, with reports stating that the concert venue has already been secured.
The update was shared during the December 22 broadcast of KBS Cool FM’s Oh My Girl Hyojung’s Volume Up, where member Yoo Yeon-jung responded to a listener asking about the timing of the rumoured reunion.
“We actually wanted to secretly prepare everything and then surprise everyone, but our youngest member Jeon Somi has already shared quite a bit, so many fans already know,” Yoo said with a laugh. “So I’ll just say it openly — yes, we are getting together.”
While she stopped short of revealing full details, Yoo confirmed a major milestone in the planning process. “I can’t share all the details, but the concert venue has already been booked,” she shared.
She went on to narrow down the timeline, adding, “If I had to choose between early, mid, or late, it would be early to mid. You can think of it around spring, when we first debuted. Since it’s our meaningful 10th anniversary, we decided not to take it lightly and are preparing very seriously, so please look forward to it.”
Formed in 2016 through Produce 101, I.O.I consisted of 11 members including Jeon Somi and Kim Sejeong, and quickly became one of K-pop’s most influential project groups. Songs like ‘Pick Me’ and ‘Whatta Man’ remain staples of second-generation survival-show nostalgia.
While most members are expected to participate, Kang Mina will reportedly sit out due to prior drama filming commitments.
Exact dates, venue details, and ticketing information have yet to be announced, but for fans who’ve waited nearly a decade, the countdown has officially begun.
