The October comeback is a crucial moment (I.O.I)
10月カムバックは正念場（I.O.I）
Korean girl group I.O.I will be making a comeback as a complete group in October.
An official from I.O.I's agency YMC Entertainment said on the 30th, "It's true that we'll be making a comeback as a complete group in October, but the timing is still undecided. It's true that we're currently recording."
I.O.I is a project group made up of 11 members selected through the cable channel Mnet survival show "Produce 101," and debuted in May of this year.
Although it's a limited-time group whose disbandment has been confirmed, the group has been attracting a lot of attention since its debut due to the influence of "Produce 101."
Some of the members of I.O.I are currently working with girl groups that their respective agencies have been preparing, and I.O.I began their unit activities on the 9th.

The landscape ahead is completely different from what it was in early spring.
I.O.I's comeback in October is likely to be a turning point that will determine the fate of the family.
The family refers to the individual girl groups connected to I.O.I.
As mentioned in the previous article, the four-member group BLACKPINK has appeared and is bringing a breath of fresh air to the girls' stage.
BLACKPINK's stage shows you their appearances and expressions in the middle of their performance, and it seems that they are not only singing and dancing to the rhythm of the music, but also bringing a dramatic world of storytelling to the stage.
That is what catches your eye.
Their world, which is different from existing girl groups, is fresh.
What kind of stage will I.O.I show us at their comeback in October?
If they perform similarly to Family Girls, who came out like cell division, no matter how good their singing and dancing are, it may end up being just a generic image and the impact may be weaker.
There is no need to worry about the singing ability of any of the members, but they should not be overwhelmed by the singing and dancing that are a set from start to finish.
We hope to see a performance where the large number of members is not a handicap.
I.O.I is a limited-time group whose disbandment is confirmed, and looking at the rise of BLACKPINK, there is a concern that the momentum of related groups will weaken if the parent group disbands.
It seems better for the group to maintain its comeback once a year rather than disband, but what do you think...?
