History
Pre-debut: Produce 101 and "Crush"
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Prior to Produce 101, some of the members of I.O.I gained recognition after appearing on other television shows: Kim Se-jeong was a contestant on competition show K-pop Star 2 in 2012, Jeon So-mi was a member of 2015 reality survival show Sixteen, and Choi Yoo-jung appeared on the web drama To Be Continued.[6][7][8] In September 2015, Jung Chae-yeon debuted as a member of DIA but temporarily withdrew from the group to join Produce 101. She also had a cameo appearance on 2015 web drama Sweet Temptation.[9][10]
In November 2015, Mnet announced their new survival show which brings together 101 trainees from 46 entertainment companies to form a unit girl group with 11 members chosen by the viewers. The show premiered on January 21, 2016 and ended on April 1.[11][12]
It was initially planned for the group to debut on April 1, 2016 with the song "Crush" that they performed as part of the finale of the show, but YMC Entertainment and Mnet decided to postpone the debut to prepare their concept and practice a new song as their debut single.[13][14]
On April 3, 2016, a representative gave details of the plans for the debut of the group. Instead of releasing a digital single as initially planned, I.O.I will be releasing a mini-album with various songs. It is likely that the songs they performed on the last episode of Produce 101, "Crush" and "When the Cherry Blossoms Fade", will be included on their album.[15] It was also reported that the group will have their own reality show on Mnet, though the date of broadcast is yet to be announced.[16][17] On the same day, the members greeted the fans for the first time as I.O.I via their official Naver V app channel that was opened on the previous day.[3][18]
On April 4, 2016, Mnet released the music video teaser for I.O.I's pre-debut track "Crush". The next day, the song was released as a digital single, followed by its music video.[19][20][21] Its genre is called Trapical Dutch Funk (Hangul: 트래피컬 더치 펑크).[22]
2016–present: Debut with Chrysalis
It was announced on April 11, 2016 that I.O.I will debut with a mini-album on May 4, 2016, and will hold a debut showcase and a fan meeting on the following day at Jangchung Gymnasium.[5] LOEN Entertainment has assumed the distribution duties for I.O.I's releases starting from the debut mini-album.[23]
On April 27, YMC Entertainment announced that I.O.I's first mini-album is titled Chrysalis.[24] Five days later, the music video teaser was released.[25]
I.O.I officially debuted on May 4, 2016 through the release of their first mini-album and music video for title track "Dream Girls". The song is a trap pop dance track co-written by singer-songwriter-producer Eru (who used the pen name Famousbro[lower-alpha 1]) and composer Paul with rap lyrics written by members Lim Na-young and Choi Yoo-jung.[26][27] On May 5, the group held their debut stage on Mnet's M! Countdown, performing "Knock Knock Knock" and the title track.[28]
On May 27, it was revealed that I.O.I will start promotions with sub-units and solo debuts of members in summer of 2016, and likely disband at the end of January 2017.[29][30]
