Mnet project group I.O.I has announced the final lineup for their group comeback in October.
CJ E&M subsidiary Studio Blu revealed via its official Instagram and Twitter accounts on the 1st that there will be 9 members returning for the comeback in October.
According to the label, members Kim Sejung, Choi Yoojung, Kim Chungha, Kim Sohye, Zhou Jieqiong, Jung Chaeyeon, Kim Doyeon, Kang Mina and Lim Na Yeong will be returning as I.O.I in October 2019.
The other two members Jeon Somi and Yoo Yeonjung will not be able to return with the group but they will be cheering on the members from close by.
Below is the official statement from Studio Blu:
"Hello. This is IOI.
During our last concert, we promised, 'Let's meet again'. As much as fans hoped, we also dreamed of a reunion in one corner of our hearts while each promoting diligently in our own places.
Now, in October of 2019, Kim Se Jung, Choi Yoo Jung, Kim Chung Ha, Kim So Hye, Zhou Jieqiong, Jung Chae Yeon, Kim Do Yeon, Kang Mina, and Lim Na Young have decided to stand before all of you a littler earlier than planned, as IOI again. We believe the biggest reason was our desire to greet our fans, who waited for us with unchanging hearts, even a day earlier.
Even though they cannot be with us this time, Jeon So Mi and Yoo Yeon Jung will also be cheering us on from close by. From here on, we will actively communicate the upcoming preparation process for IOI's return, as well as promotions schedules. Once again, we are so happy to deliver this news to our fans who have been waiting for us, and thank you."⠀
