The group I.O.I, making a miracle-like return for their 10th debut anniversary, has demonstrated the unwavering power of their fandom on the weekly idol ranking site 'FANNSTAR'.

According to FANNSTAR’s official announcement on the 9th, I.O.I proudly ranked 26th in the preliminary voting for the highly competitive 'Best Music - Summer' category. The top spots in this category are currently held by powerhouse artists dominating the global music industry, including BTS (1st), PLAVE (2nd), and Stray Kids (3rd).

Coming together after a long hiatus, I.O.I’s ability to secure a spot in the upper ranks alongside prominent, currently active junior artists clearly proves their unmatched presence in the industry. Since the FANNSTAR Best Music awards are determined 100% by fan votes alone, this achievement highlights the continuous, dedicated support and love I.O.I receives from their global fans.

The preliminary voting, which will determine who advances to the main round, will run until July 20th. As this reunion comes after a long wait, the music industry is keenly watching the solidarity and upward momentum that global fans will display during the remaining period.
