At a time when the draft is frequently involved in controversy, there are still some special existences that can make people return to their original intentions.
I.O.I, a girl group, the first limited group born in the original talent show of the "Produce 101" series, the group where Somi, Zhou Jieqiong, Jin Pleasexia and other big love beans were before.
Although many people don't remember it, in fact, this year is already the fifth anniversary of I.O.I.'s official debut.
Just the day before yesterday, without any preview, the I.O.I group achieved a long-lost integration after more than four years of dissolution, and together they did a live talk show chat with fans.
The sudden surprise caught people off guard, and it was only this time that people reacted, and it turned out that they all remembered the "five-year covenant" that they had casually promised.
Because they knew that they were a limited group and only had an eight-month group activity period, the eleven girls quipped in the interview that they would get together again after the fifth anniversary.
Unexpectedly, five years passed so quickly, and what was even more surprising was that they all remembered this agreement, scheduled their itineraries in advance, and left time for the reunion of I.O.I.
In this sudden live broadcast, it can be said that it is full of sincerity and sincerity everywhere.
The theme "Yes, I love it" is the slogan of the original I.O.I group greeting, and the costumes are uniformly light colors that were matched in advance as in the group event.
In the live broadcast, the sisters greeted each other with different responsibilities in the group and looked back at the showcase when the group first debuted.
Make fun of each other together, watch each other's affectionate coquettish, watch each other's cute and cute "black history", and joke with each other to recall the past.
Watch the first stage of "Pick me" together, and restore the stage of I.O.I's most out-of-the-loop "very very very", "Whatta Man" and "Dream Girls" together.
Na Rong was captain again, and Somi became a busy person who surprised everyone and grew up quickly.
Zhou Jieqiong, who is not present in China, also met with her sister fans for a long time in the form of live broadcast.
The sisters got together again, listening to Zhou Jieqiong speak Korean again, as if to pull people back to the time when they were chasing I.O.I, and couldn't help but let the tears break.
Speaking of which, in every way, I.O.I can be regarded as the "white moonlight" in the draft series.
The first season of "Produce101", without any expectations, exploded as soon as it was broadcast, and became the national variety show of South Korea that year.
The charm of the 101 trainee girls has slowly been seen by more and more people since the beginning of the show.
The first season of "Produce101" contributed a number of classic stages of the draft with excellent singing and dancing, such as PICK, GROWL, In the Same Place, The World of Reunion and so on.
Especially that "Bang Bang", can be called the women's group talent stage textbook, whether it is singing, dancing, rap strength or the overall stage performance, are impeccable, and even today there are talent shows online, and will often be used to make excellent case comparisons.
After many obstacle tests, 11 trainees, Lin Narong, Kim Joo-ha, Kim Se-jeong, Jeong Chae-yeon, Zhou Jieqiong, Kim So-hye, Yu Lianjing, Gong Youqing, Jiang Meina, Jin Duyan, and Jeon Joo-mi, stood out from the show and officially formed the I.O.I limited group debuted at the end of the show.
Also without any expectations, the I.O.I. composed of 11 girls became the most popular national girl group of the year.
On May 4, 2016, I.O.I released its debut mini-album Chrysalis. On the 22nd of that month, just a dozen days later, I.O.I won its first award since its debut , the 12th Asian Model Festival Singers Division Newcomer Award.
On August 9, 2016, I.O.I released its debut single album "Whatta Man", the title song of the same name won the first place in the weekly music program chart since its debut, followed by the music programs "Show Champion" and "M! Countdown and Music Bank also won one place on the weekly charts.
On October 17, 2016, I.O.I released its second mini album "miss me", and the album's title song "Very Very Very" was released two days after its release, it won the first place in the real-time, daily and weekly charts of eight major Korean music sources such as MelOn, Mnet, genie, etc., achieving PERFECT ALL KILL.
At the end of December, I.O.I won the Female Newcomer Award at the 18th Mnet Asian Music Awards in the most important music category in Korea at that time.
Although it has been a beautiful report card along the way, the awards have been soft, and the hot variety show has participated in it, but the first season of the program is different from now, I.O.I as the "test field" selected by the first season of the program, the limited activity period is only eight months.
On January 18, 2017, just over seven months after its debut, I.O.I released the farewell commemorative single "Shower" that sang a lot of people.
On the 29th of the same month, ten days after winning the last award, the "26th Seoul Song Awards Newcomer Award", I.O.I officially disbanded with the reluctance of fans.
The follow-up story is known to everyone, with the I.O.I hit the hit, the "Produce101" series of drafts officially launched the sign, from South Korea to the whole of Asia.
But in this process, it is also because of the excessive heat, the original program producer lost its original intention, did ticket fraud data, black box operation debut position, after being exposed, it became a scandal of the entire series, and the relevant person in charge of the program was sent to prison.
In this process, probably the most helpless is I.O.I.
Originally, because the "limited flowering period" was too short, various companies agreed to restructure, and even restructured album styles, song concepts and makeup and hair styles were filmed, but because of the outbreak of PD series scandals and other factors, the restructuring became a bubble again.
After the end of the live broadcast of the fifth anniversary reunion the day before yesterday, Zhou Jieqiong posted a lot of photos taken in the background when she was preparing to reorganize, and now looking at these beautiful shapes, her heart is really full of mixed feelings.
From the first season of "Produce 101" to the present, in the past 6 years, the original Korean program has been carried out for four seasons, and many domestic drafts of the same model have also been filmed.
The original "Produce 101", with the way 100% of the audience voted to decide the debut position, attracted a large number of viewers, fans in the show to harvest the joy of supporting idols, trainees in the show found a bridge to their dreams.
However, what people did not expect is that today, 6 years later, although it is still the original model program, it is that both south Korea and China's drafts are frequently involved in controversy.
In the final analysis, today's Product series draft has long been different from the original.
Because of the visible benefits and predictable future in the show, the draft has become the fastest traffic and the most direct wealth password at present.
Everyone knows that as long as you can debut in the show, and even show your face and have a topic, you will master this wealth code, and in the high-intensity exposure and topic, it will become a hit.
However, it is precisely because everyone knows this that the draft has become more and more lost in its original intention, frequently overturning the car and causing controversy, mixed with more and more impurities.
Many people regard I.O.I as "White Moonlight", not only because they are the first idols in the series to debut, but also because they are still going all out in the absence of a foreseeable future.
Not for the topic, only by the stage and strength to speak.
