Group I.O.I (I.O.I) successfully concluded its Seoul solo concert, kicking off a spectacular Asia tour.

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 '2026 I.O.I Concert Tour: LOOP in SEOUL' for three days from the 29th to the 31st of last month at Seoul Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium.

On this day, I.O.I proved the meaning of their 10th anniversary with even stronger synergy. As a solo concert held for the first time in about nine years, the members immediately brought the atmosphere of the venue to its peak by performing a series of mega-hit songs that have received widespread public love, such as 'Pick Me', 'Dream Girls', and 'Whatta Man', from the opening.

In the following stage, I.O.I perfectly filled the gap of their absence through a diverse setlist, demonstrating their solid capabilities. They sparked explosive responses with songs that evoke fans' nostalgia, including 'Drip Drip Drip' and 'Doo Wap', as well as 'Love You, Remember', which was performed on stage for the first time. Additionally, they showcased their unwavering skills by delivering 'Fingertips', 'Yum Yum', '24 Hours', and 'Crush' with flawless live vocals and intricate performances.

The stage for the new song from the mini 3rd album 'I.O.I : LOOP', which announced their successful return, further elevated the performance's completeness. During the stage for the title track 'Suddenly', which reached number one on both Melon TOP100 and HOT100 (30 days and 100 days after release) amidst a steady upward trend since its release, they heightened immersion with lyrical sounds and graceful performances.

In addition, through 'I.O.I (Where My Girls At)', full of refreshing energy, and 'SPF 100+ (Summer Pop Fantasy)', an Afrobeat genre song depicting a fantasy of a brilliant summer day, they displayed the members' strong chemistry and musical harmony, turning the venue into a festival ground.

The latter part of the performance was filled with a narrative connecting I.O.I's past and present. They moved fans to tears by singing in succession their previous promotional song 'Downpour', the response song 'Then We, Now' included in this new album, and 'When the Cherry Blossoms Fall'. During the encore stage, they continued the energy of the venue with 'Bang Bang', and concluded the performance by deeply connecting with fans through the rock-based track 'If I' and the archive song 'Goodbye with a Smile (Recorded in 2016)', which carries the narrative of their 10th anniversary.

Finally, I.O.I expressed heartfelt sentiments, stating, "We are so happy to be able to come together again through a concert for our 10th anniversary. This is thanks to our fans who have waited for us without change for a long time," and added, "We hope that this precious memory we shared today will remain in your memories for a long time."

Having successfully concluded the three-day Seoul performance and fired the starting gun for global box office success, I.O.I will carry forward the momentum of this comeback activity, officially embarking on their Asia tour schedule to have meaningful encounters with fans around the world.
