With Choi and Kim joining Weki Meki, all 11 members of I.O.I have formally launched careers with their respective groups. I.O.I had released songs and performed for almost a year, but it had been just a project group with a limited lifespan of one year.
Choi and Kim debuted as part of I.O.I last year with the EP “Chrysalis.” The group consisted of the top 11 participants of the TV audition program “Produce 101” on Mnet, which had pitted 101 wannabe singers against one another to debut as a K-pop group.
