After disbanding in 2017, internationalIy cherished K-Pop girl group I.O.I has kept their promise to have a televised broadcast for their 5 year reunion. The live (called “I.5.I Yes, I Love It!”) was broadcasted on May. 4 on streaming platforms KT Olleh TV, KT Seezn and TVING Live.
Nine of the eleven members gathered on a talk show-styled stage, hosted by their robotic MC Robyeol, and greeted their fans warmly with their old group greeting. Unfortunately, MiNa was unable to join the live because of a schedule conflict and KyulKyung was unable to join because she is currently in China (however, she did appear in a video call).
Seeing the members together in one place after such a long time has one wondering what they have been up to.
Leader NaYoung greeted fans as the ‘forever leader’ of I.O.I. Following the disband of idol group Pristin in 2019, NaYoung has since signed with entertainment agency Sublime Artist Agency and is focusing on acting and choreography production. She will be playing a supporting role in the new star-studded K-Drama "Imitation."

Zhou Jieqiong (known under Pristin as KyulKyung) could not make the live broadcast as she is currently in China working as an actress and singer. She managed to schedule time for a video call with the members during the live and it was clear that they miss her. NaYoung especially became emotional upon hearing her voice.
