“(AKB48) decided to have a collaboration performance with the (former) members of I.O.I, who are now back in their original groups,” said Kim Ki-woong, head of the Mnet division, during a press conference held in Sangam-dong, Seoul, Monday.
“(AKB48) is also an idol group produced by the nation (Japan),” said Kim, comparing the band to the Korean group formed via fan votes on Mnet’s “Produce 101.” I.O.I was a project girl group set to last for about a year. It disbanded in January.
“They also agreed to perform I.O.I’s song without hesitation,” Kim added.
