IOI (아이오아이) Yoojung: "Dancing 'Pick Me' together for the first time in 10 years made me want the center position"

IOI , returning after 10 years, appeared on SBS's "아니 근데 진짜!" as a complete group for the first time. They showcased their uninhibited wit, covering everything from the "tell-alls" between members accumulated over the past decade to their dating stories. On this day, Choi Yoojung piqued curiosity by mentioning a special connection with MC Kai . Declaring Kai to be "like a benefactor to me," she warmed the atmosphere by confessing that she was able to become a singer by practicing dance while repeatedly watching Kai's fancams during her trainee days. She then recreated the "Growl" performance they had practiced back then; in response, Kai also appeared on stage spontaneously, continuing a fantastic performance together and heating up the atmosphere.

It was also revealed that the competition for positions within IOI is fierce, given their comeback after 10 years. In particular, main vocalists Kim Sejeong and Yoo Yeonjung , and main dancers Chungha and Choi Yoojung, named each other as rivals. The atmosphere heated up further as revelations continued that they had secretly kept each other in check during 'Produce 101'. It is said that an epic stage unfolded as a showdown between the rivals, and the reunited IOI's position battle performance can be seen on the broadcast. Meanwhile, attention was drawn to the candid revelations surrounding Jeon Somi, the "eternal center" of IOI. In particular, Choi Yoojung, the original center of 'Produce 101', added tension to the set by revealing her hidden ambition, stating, "Dancing 'Pick Me' together for the first time in 10 years made me want the center position." In response, Jeon Somi expressed her confidence as the center, saying, "Even when I think I should stand behind the older members, the atmosphere eventually leads me back to that spot." The diverse charms of IOI, who have returned as a complete group, can be seen on '아니 근데 진짜!', airing on SBS on Monday, May 4 at 10:10 PM.
