We, I.O.I fans, are hoping for the cancellation of the disbandment of our beloved bias group I.O.I.
There are still a lot of new comers (fans) in our fanbase. I.O.I's popularity among Korean netizens, as well as international KPOP fans, is continuously increasing day by day. This may cost a great deal of time and money for the various agencies managing our girls. But as for me, it would be best for I.O.I to stay as a permanent group.
A lot of us see their potential to become the next Girls' Generation (or SNSD). They have the perfect combination of a girl group like SNSD. They compliment each other and does not out-shine other members. They have unique personalities so they are recognizable as they themselves. So it would be such a waste to disband such a great girl group that could surpass those who already have debuted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please hear us out. We are begging you!
