Fans will get their first glimpse at IOI's first promotional unit sooner than expected!
It's been revealed that IOI's new unit (that's to be announced sometime this week) will be taking over all of IOI's schedules. This means that the unit will appear instead of the full group on their scheduled appearance on the 18th's episode of SBS MTV's 'The Show'.
YMC Entertainment has revealed that the unit will start recording the song in June. However, because they're going to be paying special attention to quality, insiders are guessing fans won't see the group perform until July.
