A surprise scene between SOMI and Kim Do-yeon in the title teaser video for I.O.I’s upcoming 10th-anniversary comeback has become a hot topic among fans.
The recently released teaser video for I.O.I’s 10th-anniversary comeback album features a scene where SOMI suddenly approaches Kim Do-yeon, who is standing alone, and kisses her.
The unexpected physical interaction, followed by Kim Do-yeon appearing startled and sinking to the ground, sparked an explosive reaction online immediately after its release.
Kim Do-yeon later drew attention by sharing the behind-the-scenes story of the scene on a fan communication platform. When asked, "How did it feel to get a kiss from SOMI?" she responded playfully, saying, "She did it intensely."
When asked, "What did you think when you first received the storyboard?" she surprised fans even more by revealing, "It might be hard to believe, but this was my idea. The original reference was a scene where she would cutely slap my cheek, but it was changed to a kiss. I suggested we kiss instead of slapping."
I.O.I is a project group that was formed through Mnet’s 'Produce 101' Season 1 in 2016 and received immense love. In February, Swing Entertainment officially announced I.O.I’s 10th-anniversary comeback. This project will proceed as a nine-member group, excluding Kang Mi-na and Kyulkyung.
SOMI recently appeared on MBC’s 'Radio Star' and shared the members' extraordinary commitment, saying, "We tried to get together for our 5th and 7th anniversaries, but it didn't work out. This time, we promised not to schedule any individual activities once the practice schedule was set."
Meanwhile, I.O.I will kick off their 10th-anniversary concert tour, '2026 I.O.I Concert Tour : LOOP', starting with a performance at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul this May.
