I.O.I’s much-awaited reunion for their ten-year debut anniversary has quickly become one of the most talked-about comebacks this year so far. Their new song “Suddenly” continues to climb the music charts, while fans are demanding that the group return permanently. Despite this explosive reaction to the group’s comeback, members have revealed that they had to lose out on money to make it happen in the first place.

The topic was brought up by Chungha and Yoo Yeonjung while they appeared as guests on a popular YouTube channel along with Somi.
While discussing the planning and execution of this reunion project, Yeonjung admitted that their comeback plans had fallen through a few times before they could finally make it happen. And one of the major reasons was financial constraint.
Yeonjung explained that the members were uncertain this time as well if the comeback would work out, but decided to throw their full weight into it as a last chance. Chungha then mentioned that promoting as a group actually costs them money, admitting that individual activities are far more profitable for them.
Yeonjung then expressed her gratitude to I.O.I’s team behind this comeback, revealing that they decided to join the project despite knowing they didn’t have enough capital. In the end, many people forego their fees to be a part of the comeback. She proudly stated that I.O.I’s new album was truly a product of love.
Meanwhile, I.O.I’s recent M Countdown performance has become a hot topic after leaving fans heartbroken.
