I.O.I claims two consecutive months at No. 1 with 10th anniversary album

IOI's third mini album 'IOI: Loop,' released to commemorate their 10th anniversary, has maintained its dominance on music charts, with the title track 'Suddenly' securing the top spot for two consecutive months. The song claimed the monthly number one position on both Melon and Genie charts in June and July, and also topped the Circle Digital Chart's monthly rankings as of June. This achievement underscores the group's enduring popularity despite their reunion after nine years.

Since its release in May, IOI has claimed the top spot three times on MBC's 'Show! Music Core' and secured two consecutive weeks at number one on SBS's 'Inkigayo.' On the April 4 episode of 'Show! Music Core,' the group gathered to support member Choi Yoo-jung's solo comeback, with eight members taking the stage for an encore performance. Their live vocals and polished performances demonstrated a strong team dynamic that transcended their brief activity period. Despite the short duration of their comeback, the members held concerts in Seoul, Bangkok, and Hong Kong, connecting directly with fans.

The participating members are Jeon Somi, KIMSEJEONG, Choi Yoo-jung, Kim Cheongha, Kim Sohye, Nayoung, Chaeyeon, Yoo Yeon-jeong, and Kim Doyeon. Joo Gyeryeong and Kang Mi-na did not participate due to scheduling conflicts. Fans expressed disappointment over the project's short duration, with comments such as "Made the nation cry and then vanished again" and "Please don't make us wait nine years for the next full lineup—come back faster." Through this 10th-anniversary project, IOI has reaffirmed its status as a 'national girl group.'
