History

Pre-debut: Produce 101 and "Crush"

Main article: Produce 101

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 the 2015 reality survival show Sixteen, and Choi Yoo-jung appeared in 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 in the 2015 web drama Sweet Temptation.[9][10]

In November 2015, Mnet announced their new survival show that would bring 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 better prepare the group's concept and choreography with a new song as I.O.I's debut single.[13]

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 would be releasing a mini-album with various songs.[14] It was also reported that the group will have their own reality show on Mnet.[15][16] On the same day, the members greeted the fans for the first time as I.O.I via their official Naver V app channel.[17]

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.[18][19][20] Its genre was referred to as "Trapical Dutch Funk" (Hangul: 트래피컬 더치 펑크).[21]

Debut with Chrysalis

Main article: Chrysalis (EP)

On April 11, 2016, it was announced that I.O.I would debut with a mini-album on May 4, 2016, and would hold a debut showcase and fan meeting the following day at Jangchung Gymnasium.

On April 27, YMC Entertainment announced that I.O.I's first mini-album was titled Chrysalis. Five days later, the music video teaser was released.[23][24]

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.[25][26] On May 5, the group held their debut stage on Mnet's M! Countdown, performing the title track and "Knock Knock Knock".[27]

On May 11, Jung Chae-yeon of MBK Entertainment joined DIA for the group's comeback in June.[28]

On August 2, 2016, a group image teaser was released through I.O.I's SNS with a caption "WXAXTX X XAN". Two days later, YMC Entertainment revealed the music video teaser for the group's new single "Whatta Man (Good Man)". The song was inspired by Linda Lyndell's "What a Man", with a 1993 version released by Salt-n-Pepa with En Vogue, and was produced by Ryan S. Jhun who also composed I.O.I's song "Crush".[35][36] The choreography for "Whatta Man" was arranged by member Kim Chung-ha. It was revealed that three teams were contacted to make the choreography for the song but Chung-ha's was chosen because it was deemed to be the highest quality.[37]

On August 15, 2016, I.O.I released the digital single "Hand in Hand", a remake of the Seoul 1988 Summer Olympics theme song originally sung by Koreana.[38]
