I.O.I marked their 10th anniversary with a viral blast from the past, dropping a new clip of the members nailing the iconic 'Pick Me' choreography from Produce 101 — and fans say it looks just like 2016.
On April 9, I.O.I shared a video on their official social media captioned "Back to 2016 I.O.I Concert — coming or not?" along with the post.
The video shows the members gathered in a practice room, rehearsing the signature 'Pick Me' routine from Mnet’s survival show Produce 101. Dressed exactly like before — pink sweatshirts, black shorts, and knee-high socks — they perfectly recreated their debut-era look.
Fans flooded the comments with reactions like "It’s exactly the same as 10 years ago," "It feels like we time-traveled back," and "Their group synchronization is still insane."
I.O.I formed through Mnet’s audition program Produce 101 in 2016 and wrapped group activities in January 2017. To celebrate their 10th debut anniversary, they will release a new album and hold a concert in May. This comeback will feature Nayoung Lim, Chungha, Sejeong Kim, Chaeyeon Jung, Sohye Kim, Yeonjung Yoo, Yoojung Choi, Doyeon Kim, and Somi Jeon, with Mina Kang and Kyulkyung (Zhou Jieqiong) not participating.
