IOI member Somi opened up about the things she will be missing after the upcoming disbandment of her group and revealed the person whom she considers as her personal role model in a recent interview with “Star1” magazine.

According to Somi as quoted by All KPop: “I think I'll miss everything. All the fans who cheered us on till the end, I'll miss my dear IOI members. We'll be starting our individual activities so please look forward to it”.

When asked how she wanted to be remembered, the KPop star answered: “An everlasting Somi. It's far from over. Just like Taemin (SHINee) who is a role model and really big right now. I want to continue to perform greatly forever”.

Aside from sitting down in an interview, Somi had a photo shoot with the magazine. In the teaser images released by “Star1”, the young idol carried out different cute poses and showcased her distinctive fashion statement for the camera.

In one image, looked like an adorable punk girl in her ripped denim jumpsuit matched with mud brown hoodie, dark lavender jacket, cream sneakers, and gray backpack. The next shot revealed the charming side of Somi who carried out a slight pout, wearing a typical school girl outfit.

Meanwhile, IOI has recently shared an Instagram post captioned: “Till now, this has been I.O.I. YES, I LOVE IT! Thank you!”. The photo showcases the beautiful faces of each member who were holding a placard with the words: “Don’t forget that we really loved you”, reports Soompi.

With a total of 11 members namely Lim Na Young, Kim Chung Ha, Kim Se Jeong, Jung Chae Yeon, Zhou Jieqiong, Kim So Hye, Yu Yeon Jung, Choi Yoo Jung, Kang Mi Na, Kim Do Yeon and Jeon So Mi, IOI made their entertainment debut in May last year with the mini-album ”Chrysalis”.
