The top 11 girls of 'Produce 101' are going to be debuting with the team name IOI! And no, it is not 'Laugh Out Loud' or numbers 1,0,1, but the letters I, O, I. 


The reason for this name is because it looks similar to the numbers '101'. The Majority of fans wanted to keep part of the show title in the name. As a result, the name IOI was chosen for the final winners.


The final episode is just around the corner and the final 11 are to be announced on April 1.
