Just now
A long-awaited reunion of I.O.I nearly a decade after their debut has fans asking one key question: Who made it happen?

As it turns out, the answer is Chungha!
Chungha | @CH_CHUN9HA/X
During a recent appearance on Running Man, Chungha opened up about the behind-the-scenes effort that brought the beloved girl group back together for their 10th anniversary, revealing that she personally reached out to the members.
I was the one who made the calls. I asked them, ‘It’s our 10th anniversary! Are we really not going to do anything?!’
— Chungha
What might have seemed like a logistical challenge—given how each member has gone on to build individual careers across music, acting, and entertainment—ended up unfolding far more smoothly than expected.
Everyone responded right away. It all came together in one go. Everything was decided that same day!

Thanks to Chungha, we now have back one of K-Pop’s most iconic project groups making a return!
