According to a concert official on the 9th, tickets for I.O.I's final concert, "Time Slip ~ I.O.I," scheduled for January next year, were sold out in less than a minute after reservations began at 8 p.m. on the 9th.
"All seats (about 4,300) were on the verge of being sold out as soon as reservations began," the official said.
The fact that I.O.I, born from Mnet's audition program "Produce 101," would be performing on the final stage had attracted a lot of interest and discussion.
The concert in January next year will be even more meaningful as it reflects the members' desire to spend their final moments with their fans.
Their final concert, "Time Slip ~ I.O.I", will be held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul from January 20th to 22nd, 2017.
I.O.I achieved great success with their unit song "Whatta Man" and group song "Very Very Very" both reaching number one on terrestrial and cable music programs.
They also showed remarkable success in variety shows, commercials, magazines, etc., attracting attention.
As originally planned, they will end all activities on January 31st of next year.

The power of teenagers who are talented in both singing and dancing is not to be underestimated.
It seems that all the seats (4,300 seats) were sold out within one minute of the start of reservations.
I.O.I's members are not only talented in singing and dancing, but also glamorous.
If this is the last time we'll see them all perform together, it makes sense that they sold out so quickly.
It seems a shame that I.O.I, with its impressive lineup of members, will end its activities with just the unit song "Whatta Man" and the group song "Very Very Very".
However, it can't be helped if the members are all affiliated with different agencies.
From the agencies' perspective, they are lending them out to raise awareness, but in reality, they would prefer that the members return home as soon as they have gotten to know their names and faces.
Some members will go back to being trainees when they return to the agency, while others will be waiting for them in their group and will start activities right away.
The members who will return and start group activities include ★Kim Sejeong, ★Kang Mina, ★Yoo Yeonjung, ★Jung, and Chaeyoung.
There may be other members preparing to debut.
I.O.I will continue their activities smoothly, and will come to a finale while still attracting the attention of many fans.
However, the members' true potential is yet to come.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Kim Sejeong, Jung Chaeyoung and Yoo Yeonjung.
I'm especially excited to see Yoo Yeonjung grow.
She's great now, but I believe she'll sing even better songs in the future.
I've also kept the other members in mind, so when they come out I'll be sure to keep an eye on how they've grown.
