'Jjanhanhyung Shin Dong-yup' featured I.O.I member Jeon So-mi, who openly shared the pressure she felt during her appearance on 'Produce 101'.

On the 18th, a video featuring I.O.I was released on the YouTube channel 'Jjanhanhyung Shin Dong-yup'. Members Kim Chong-ha, Yoo Yeon-jung, Choi Yoo-jung, and Jeon So-mi appeared as guests and shared various stories.

On this day, Jeon So-mi recalled the beginning stages of the Mnet survival program 'Produce 101'.

Jeon So-mi said, "At the time, there were rumors that an audition program with 101 trainees from multiple companies would be launched. I remember thinking, 'Wow, who would go out there? Trainees are supposed to perform as a team, but if their agencies are all different, it will fail.' I wondered what would happen, but in the end, I ended up participating," which drew laughter.

She also honestly confessed about the emotions she felt at the first recording site. Jeon So-mi recalled, "When the 101st trainees were seated in a triangle formation, I was the last one to go out. I really missed my mom. I thought, 'Mom, something feels strange here.'"

She added, "Since I was the last one, didn't the 100th others wait for me? With 100 people watching me, it was too burdensome."

Yoo Yeon-jung also said, "Moreover, rumors circulated that I was from JYP and had been part of the 'TWICE debut group,' so everyone must have been watching me with wide eyes, thinking, 'Is that her?'"

In response, Jeon So-mi admitted, "Since I was already well-known when I participated, I received some unwanted attention."
