[Sports Today reporter Song Oh-jung] Singer Chungha says she brought I.O.I back together for the group’s 10th anniversary with a single phone call.<\/p>\n

On the May 3 broadcast of SBS’s Running Man, I.O.I members Jeon Somi and Chungha \u2014 who are participating in the group’s full-lineup 10th-anniversary comeback \u2014 appeared on the show.<\/p>\n

Chungha said, \\”I called around and asked, ‘It’s our 10th anniversary \u2014 are we really not going to do anything?’ Everyone agreed to meet right away.\\”<\/p>\n

Although the members now belong to different agencies and have varied schedules compared with a decade ago, making a reunion difficult, Chungha said they were able to reach agreement immediately.<\/p>\n

Touched, Ji Seok-jin suggested, \\”Let’s get together again in 10 years,\\” but Kim Jong-kook quipped, \\”Man, in 10 years you might not even be around,\\” prompting laughter.<\/p>\n
