I.O.I member Jeon So-mi spoke about how things have changed over the past 10 years.

On the 5th, I.O.I appeared on the KBS 2TV variety program 'The Seasons - Sung Si-kyung's High-Frequency Boyfriend' (hereinafter 'The Seasons').

That day, Jeon So-mi introduced the song 'Suddenly,' which she contributed to lyrically, saying, "As an adult now, happy and nostalgic moments seem to come gently and unexpectedly one day. This song is sincere about our nine-year hiatus."

Sung Si-kyung asked about their feelings of appearing on all three major music shows. Kim Se-jeong replied, "Each broadcaster has a different color and vibe. It was gratifying to be able to show I.O.I in different ways on each show."

Sung Si-kyung mentioned that Jeong Chae-yeon had cried during a meeting with the production team. Jeong Chae-yeon said, "I really enjoyed that moment while performing on stage. Enjoying that moment on stage made me feel it was a pity that the end was approaching. During that period, while having meetings, my emotions were quite soft. It was too precious."

Jeon So-mi said, "When we debuted together, I was a child star. I was 15 or 16 years old. It was so joyful, but the sadness came at the same time, and it made my back ache," eliciting laughter. Kim Se-jeong added, "In the past, the youngest member often got scolded or pouted, but now she has grown up a lot and says, 'Sisters, you have to look at what's right in front of you.' I feel like the friend who was once a child star has become an adult."

Yoo Yeon-jung explained about a promise the members made among themselves: "When choosing the title track, we received songs in various genres. There were sensual and sexy songs, but since it's been 10 years, I wondered if we'd be ostracized by the broadcasting stations if we went that far. Our last memory was 'So So So,' so suddenly going sensual doesn't seem right. So we thought about banning sensual songs among ourselves."

Afterward, the I.O.I members watched again the video letter they had recorded 10 years ago to their future selves 10 years later, and they shed tears. Im Na-young said, "Our lives are so busy that we can't contact each other often, but I hope our friendship remains unchanged. If you watch this video now, I really want to tell you that the youth we shared was so beautiful. I was happy to be with you, and I love you so, so much," sending a video message to I.O.I 10 years later.
