I.O.I (Korean: 아이오아이; also known as IOI) is a South Korean girl group formed by CJ E&M through the 2016 reality show Produce 101 on Mnet. The group is composed of eleven members chosen from a pool of 101 trainees from various entertainment companies. They are set to debut on May 4, 2016 with a mini-album, and are expected to actively promote four albums, either as a whole or as a sub-unit, over the next 10 months.[1][2][3][4]

History

Pre-debut: Produce 101 and "Crush"

Main article: Produce 101

Prior to Produce 101, some of the members of I.O.I gained recognition after appearing on other television shows: Kim Se-jeong was a contestant on competition show K-pop Star 2 in 2012, Jeon So-mi was a member of 2015 reality survival show Sixteen and Choi Yoo-jung appeared on web drama To Be Continued.[5][6][7] In September 2015, Jung Chae-yeon debuted as a member of DIA but temporarily withdrew the group to join Produce 101. She also had a cameo appearance on 2015 web drama Sweet Temptation.[8][9]

In November 2015, Mnet announced their new survival show which brings together 101 trainees from 46 entertainment companies to form a unit girl group with 11 members chosen by the viewers. The show premiered on January 21, 2016 and ended on April 1 with Jeon So-mi, Kim Se-jeong, Choi Yoo-jung, Kim Chung-ha, Kim So-hye, Zhou Jieqiong, Jung Chae-yeon, Kim Do-yeon, Kang Mi-na, Lim Na-young and Yu Yeun-jung as the final line-up of I.O.I.[10][11]

It was initially planned for the group to debut on April 1, 2016 with the song "Crush" that they performed as part of the finale of the show, but YMC Entertainment and Mnet decided to postpone the debut to prepare their concept and practice a new song as their debut single.[12][13]

On April 3, 2016, a representative gave details of the plans for the debut of the group. Instead of releasing digital single as initially planned, I.O.I will be releasing a mini-album with various songs. It is likely that the songs they performed on the last episode of Produce 101, "Crush" composed by Ryan Jhun, and "When the Cherry Blossoms Fade" composed by B1A4's Jin-young, will be included in their album.[14] It was also reported that the group will appear on a special episode of tvN's talk show Taxi, and will have their own reality show on Mnet, though the date of broadcast is yet to be announced.[15][16] On the same day, the members greeted the fans for the first time as I.O.I via their official Naver V app channel that was opened on the previous day.[2][17]

On April 4, 2016, Mnet released the music video teaser for I.O.I's pre-debut track "Crush", and on the next day, the song was released as a digital single at noon followed by the full version of the music video featuring the members wearing casual clothes while having fun with the choreography in a small room. It also showed the video clips of the girls in the recording studio.[18][19][20] Its genre is called Trapical Dutch Funk (Hangul: 트래피컬 더치 펑크).[21]

It was announced on April 11, 2016 that I.O.I will debut with a mini-album on May 4, 2016, and will hold a debut showcase and a fan meeting on the following day at Jangchung Gymnasium.[4] LOEN Entertainment has assumed the distribution duties for IOI's releases starting from the debut mini-album.
