I.B.I girl group debut may happen soon as the members were spotted in a recording studio and profile photoshoot.
LOEN Entertainment made dreams of many "Produce 101" fans that wanted to see more girls on stage. Some fans created their own girl group composed of some of the eliminated girls.
The girls were spotted recording the album, which is slated for release in mid-August. While LOEN Entertainment has not confirmed the official debut date of the new girl group, the music stage of the girls will happen soon.
Moreover, the girls were seen shooting their profile photos for their upcoming debut. The photos were shot by Rainbow member Jisook. The girls posted photos on their respective accounts thanking Jisook for her hardwork and guidance.
I.B.I are the initials of the Korean word that means "ordinary person". The group will be consisted of Han Hyeri (12th place; Star Empire), Lee Soohyun (13th place), Kim Sohee (15th place; Music Works), Yoon Chaekyung (16th place; DSP), and Lee Haein (17th place). Lee Soohyun and Lee Haein were former trainees of SS Entertainment, but got into a legal battle with the label because of unfair contract terms.
Meanwhile, LOEN Entertainment has not released an official statement yet whether Park Soyeon will not be a part of the new girl group. There is also no word whether Soyeon will have a solo debut or in a group under LOEN.
