The tour will kick off with a three-day Seoul performance starting May 29, followed by visits to major Asian cities including Bangkok on June 6, and Hong Kong on the 20th and 21st, where I.O.I is expected to unleash their unique energy.

I.O.I's third mini-album 'I.O.I : LOOP' will be released at 6 p.m. on May 19 via various online music platforms. Prior to this, a pre-release track will be made available on May 4.
