As I.O.I reunited for their 10th anniversary, Kim Sejeong’s acting clips sparked hilarious reactions and her candid comments became a hot topic.
On a recent episode of the SBS variety show 아니 근데 진짜!, I.O.I members Lim Nayoung, Chungha, Kim Sejeong, Jung Chaeyeon, Kim Sohye, Yoo Yeonjung, Choi Yoojung, Kim Doyeon, and Jeon Somi showcased their long-awaited full-group chemistry. On air, they recreated their hit stage for ‘Pick Me,’ showing their teamwork hasn’t faded a bit.
When the cast looked back on Kim Sejeong’s rise as an actor, the studio atmosphere heated up. As soon as her aegyo scene from the drama 사내맞선 played, the members screamed, and when a kiss scene came on, they averted their eyes or nudged each other, cracking everyone up. Blushing, Kim Sejeong confessed, "Even I can barely watch scenes like that."
Maknae Jeon Somi said, "It’s my first time seeing you act," and when the kiss scene appeared, she honestly admitted, "It’s a bit hard to watch," sending the set into laughter. Guest Kai also chimed in, "Watching a member act somehow feels even more embarrassing, so we all tease them together," agreeing with the mood.
The broadcast also revealed Kim Sejeong’s unexpected charms. "I like to drink. Ending the day with a glass makes me feel like I lived well today," she said. She added, "My limit is about two cans of beer, and then I usually pair it with some whiskey," drawing laughs. However, she noted, "Lately I’ve been cutting back to focus on practice."
I.O.I is a project group formed in 2016 through Mnet’s audition program ‘Produce 101.’ After wrapping activities in 2017, the members each pursued their own paths. Now, to mark their 10th debut anniversary, they’ve come together again to give fans a special moment.
