“IOI, an unprecedented legend written on their 10th debut anniversary: "Following an all-kill on the Melon charts, they achieved a 'triple crown' on music shows
The group I.O.I marked a spectacular finale to their 10th-anniversary project by achieving a triple crown on music shows even after concluding their promotional activities. On the July 4th broadcast of MBC's "Show! Music Core," I.O.I once again reached the top spot without appearing on the show, performing "Suddenly," the title track from their third mini-album, "I.O.I: LOOP." With this victory, they secured three consecutive wins on broadcasts—starting with their first win on June 13, followed by June 27, and ending on July 4—once again proving their solid ticket power and the strength of their fandom.
At the event, member Choi Yoo-jung, who had appeared for her solo comeback stage, accepted the trophy on behalf of the team. Unable to hide her overwhelming emotions, Choi Yoo-jung shared her thoughts, saying, "I am grateful to everyone who made it possible for us to reach number one with an album that was meaningfully released with the members for the first time in 10 years." She then expressed her heartfelt gratitude with a lump in her throat, saying, "Thank you for still cherishing our 10 years so beautifully; thanks to you, we were very happy for the first time in a long while." She added a witty and affectionate remark, "If you continue to miss us, we might 'suddenly' appear again someday. I love you," drawing cheers from the fans.
The real emotional moment came during the unreleased encore performance, which was revealed on the MBCkpop YouTube channel immediately after the broadcast. The members of I.O.I, who had come to the venue to support Choi Yoo-jung's solo performance, made an unofficial surprise appearance on stage. Running onto the stage in casual clothes, the members sang the title track "Suddenly" together in a free and relaxed atmosphere, creating a special moment mixed with tears and laughter. The sight of the members filling the stage solely for the fans, despite not being in an official promotional period, delivered a cinematic emotional experience.
Upon seeing this, fans are pouring out comments with fierce intensity. Netizens sent an outpouring of congratulations, saying, "It's legendary. It's the first time I've seen them keep winning first place even after their promotions have ended, and come up on stage unofficially," "The members came to perform an encore stage even though they aren't in their active period. I really thought it was a dream," "The sight of them running onto the stage is just like a movie," and "I don't know how many times I've cried because of I.O.I. It is a perfect, touching narrative."
I.O.I's recent moves, reunited to celebrate their 10th debut anniversary, are being evaluated as an exceptional achievement in the music industry. Their new song, "Suddenly," not only instantly topped the TOP 100 and HOT 100 charts on Melon, Korea's largest music streaming site, but also sparked a dance challenge craze on global short-form platforms. Furthermore, having successfully completed their Asia tour, "2026 I.O.I Concert Tour: LOOP," which spanned Seoul, Bangkok, and Hong Kong, I.O.I added a record-breaking triple crown on music shows, crowning a glorious 10th anniversary.”
