I.O.I: Where Are They Now? (5 years later)

Now watching this after sejeong's success with Uncanny Counter and now with A Business Proposal... I can truly now say Sejeongie is really successful, an all rounder and full package.

True

[@afuzzypanda613]

somi, chungha and sejeong were the holy trinity of ioi back then, and are still the top3 most popular and successful of the group years later. so proud of all the girls.

[@izonexbae]

Yeonjung & Chungha are doing so good for themselves, like Yeonjung is thriving in WJSN and Chungha is ofcourse the soloist of this generation!

[@f-line5584]

Sejeong also!that girl has south Korea on a grip, they're so in love with her!!(as they should)

[@dollydallie]

Sejeong is now a soloist, musical actress and one of the best idol-actress in her generation. Her latest acting gig is Business Proposal super good drama.

[@h5y878]

And after this video Somi and Sejeong reach the highest and most successful eras of their soloist careers

[@a_r_y_a010]

Chungha being from the most unknown label debuted as a solo when there were literally 2-3 successful soloists in kpop. And now among all the girls became one of the biggest soloists in kpop and undoubtedly the biggest in 3rd gen with her discography being the best selling among 3rd gen soloists. Often referred to as "Queen Chungha" by the gp now. Looking after her success literally no label, big or small, is hesitant to debut a female solo now. A rightful queen in kpop.

[@Boss-np5ol]

Somi and Chungha, iconic duo. Somi is breaking record left and right and Chungha is setting new standard or should I say soloist of this generation. Both my Queens deserve all the world's love♥️♥️

[@andreww2098]

Gugadan didn't so much as disband as get dumped, they went back to their dorm and found all their stuff outside, after 2 years with no albums it was over, only 3 of the members, Sejeong, Mina and Sally Liu (Liu Xiening) are still with Jellyfish and Sally is currently in BonBon girls 303 in China and probably won't resign with Jellyfish ent

Sad to see that literally all the ioi members (except sohye) debuted in the idol industry right after ioi disbanded but almost the majority couldn’t find much success and went for the acting industry 😭 but glad some that left their idol groups have found some success in their solo projects.

[@eearthjunebug]

YES! because i am so tired of people saying the ioi members flopped after disbandment, just say you didn’t do you research and go

[@crystyles]

like not even their groups flopped they all did well in 2017 what came after was their companies being useless and misogynistic but everyone acts like im a crazy person when i say that... i have the numbers to prove it!!! after 2018 the groups went down but the girls kept their relevance

[@ilonamaksymiv1404]

Somi dropped the bomb with her new album.. Xoxo and dumb are masterpieces as well as other b sides tracks as watermelon. She deserves it all!! Wish the I.O.I. girls all the best❣️

[@crystyles]

IDEAL OF ACTRESS STRIKES AGAIN

[@nfrrenny]

i think right now somi is on the verge of getting a massive breakout as a soloist internationally. shes popular and well loved in korea but i think somi could be the first kpop soloist to be known worldwide, kind of how everyone knows bts as a boygroup and blackpink as a girlgroup. theres no soloist in kpop who has that same status of fame internationally and i think if she plays her cards right, she could get there.

[@jacobw7205]

PSY????

[@olivialu]

IU and PSY?

[@ameliarose47]

As someone who lives in the States, Psy was really only known as a one hit wonder over here because none of his songs past Gangnam style became popular, which I don't know why since they all have the same amazing energy that attracted people to Gangnam Style. And I had no idea who IU was before I really got into Kpop. They're both amazing and talented but I think knowing English wl give Somi the same advantage Blackpink has with the international market.

[@daphsbrokenbones]

@@jacobw7205 personally speaking I think many people only acknowledge PSY due to his Gangnam style, which is kind of sad because his songs are a bop. And about Somi she has an obvious upper hand because now kpop is nearly thrice popular now as it used to be before, putting Somi in an advantage to gain a larger audience. Plus she's half Canadian, foreign kpop idols are noticeably more popular in the industry imo but that still doesn't change the fact that shes hella talented ofc

[@moonshi5846]

chungha current it girl

[@blackpinkpavedtheway811]

chungha is so far from being it girl.. look at jennie. shes much more popular, pretty, can rap, sing, dance, and has amazing stage presence chungha cant even get 100m views on any of her flop comebacks, and she cant rap or sing and has no stage presence compared to jennie.. her dance is only decent and is far worse than lisa

[@cookie08643]

jieqiong is kind of insane how is she so booked and busy all the time it girl things i think

[@crystyles]

so true i need her to be cast in a drama i actually wanna watch preferably not with a man twice her age i'll literally do anything

[@carter3012]

I feel like international kpop fans always say that idols fell off after a group dispanded when they really just started focusing on acting instead 🤦‍♂️

[@jssed]

People who say IOI flopped didn't even follow IOI: Mina, So hye, Chaeyeon and Sejeong are all doing very well as actresses. Chung ha and Somi are very popular soloists. Other girls are here and there, idk

[@frieddegg]

"other girls are here and there" yeonjung, being in the most successful post ioi group, selling around 100k albums per comeback, being one of the best vocalists of her generation, winning singing competitions, participating in queendom 2: 🤨
