'Knowing Bros' IOI reunites; Jeon Somi and Choi Yoo-jung are in tears

Group I.O.I appears on JTBC variety show 'Knowing Bros,' airing on the 16th, to celebrate its 10th debut anniversary. The members, visiting Brother School after a long time, show off their sharp wit and unchanged teamwork.

I.O.I previously appeared on 'Knowing Bros' in 2016 as their final variety show as a complete group before ending activities. At the time, they expressed regret, saying, "Since we were the beginning of an audition program group, we weren't sure we would do well, so our contract period was the shortest." They also add to fans' anticipation by sharing news of their first-ever overseas concert tour.

Chungha, whom the members named as the top contributor to their reunion, moves hearts by revealing the reason they came together again for their fans: "I went to an event, and there were still fans holding I.O.I albums and light sticks while asking for autographs."

Jeon Somi says she participated in writing the lyrics for this title track, 'Suddenly,' showing her affection for the new song. I.O.I performs a medley of their hit songs and a stage for the new track. Seeing this, the brothers sing along and follow the choreography, showing an enthusiastic response. Moved by their support, Jeon Somi sheds tears, and Choi Yoojung also looks emotional as the members comfort one another, maintaining a warm atmosphere.

The unexpected charms of the I.O.I members are also revealed. Kim Sohye, who once left the memorable line during the audition program, 'Sohye, do you want to be a singer?', captures attention by overcoming her dance trauma. She showcases an impressive dance performance to Tyla's 'Water,' and Kang Ho-dong, seeing this, brings laughter by reacting, "The dance was so intense I thought my neck was going to fall off."

Yoo Yeon-jung adds interest by revealing, "Among I.O.I, I'm known as an influencer," and "If I recommend something, the members do a group purchase." In response, Jeon Somi reenacts Yoo Yeon-jung's uniquely persuasive sales talk, saying, "Unnie talks so deliciously that I can't help but buy it." Yoo Yeon-jung even reveals an unexpected item she recommended, surprising everyone.

The I.O.I episode of 'Knowing Bros' airs on the 16th at 9 p.m.
