The group I.O.I (I.O.I) shared their reflections while recalling their days during "Produce 101."

I.O.I (Lim Na-young, Cheong Ha, Kim Se-jeong, Jung Chae-yeon, Kim So-hye, Yoo Yeon-jung, Choi Yoo-jung, Kim Do-yeon, Jeon So-mi) held their solo concert "2026 I.O.I Concert Tour: LOOP" on the 29th at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

On this day, I.O.I opened their performance with "Pick Me," followed by stages including "Dream Girls," "Whatta Man," and "Love You, Remember."

Lim Na-young said, "It feels like we're truly taking a trip down memory lane, which brings fresh emotions. When people think of I.O.I, they think of 'Produce 101' (hereinafter 'Produce'), right? That's our foundation." She then asked, "Did you have moments where you felt like you returned to those days while preparing for the concert?"

In response, Jeon So-mi answered, "The most fun part of the 'Produce' days was when we performed 'Yum Yum'." Yoo Yeon-jung added, "It reminds me of our debut showcase and the final concert. Those memories are so vivid and happy, so we paid homage to the stage movements we used during the showcase and concert back then. Thinking of those times will surely make you feel warm and fuzzy."

Choi Yoo-jung recalled, "I still remember the event where we were told to 'shake your hips'." Kim Do-yeon added, "But I think the most memorable moment for me was the time we were chosen by the 'Angdungi' (fans)."

Meanwhile, I.O.I's solo concert "LOOP" Seoul performances will run for three days from the 29th to the 31st. Starting with the Seoul shows, the group plans to tour across Asia, including Bangkok and Hong Kong, to meet fans.
