On October 21, it was reported that I.O.I's reunion might be delayed even more after many factors surfaced that would make it harder for the already delayed reunion to happen. Many reports say they might even delay the reunion to sometime in 2020.
This comes after earlier in September when it was reported that I.O.I will delay their reunion to fulfill the hopes of an 11 member comeback. And that the title track of their comeback will be changed to fulfill the member's wishes.
Soon after, Mnet was involved in a scandal after it was announced that 'Produce X 101' and 'Idol School' were shown to have votes rigged. On October 16th it was announced that Yoojung, I.O.I and Weki Meki member will be on hiatus due to health reasons.
What do you think will happen to I.O.I's reunion?

Some may disagree with me, but if pushing it back a bit further means we could not only have a complete reunion, but also a well-crafted one that the members want, then I see nothing wrong with that. People have wanted I.O.I. back for a long time now, and we know the formula worked well with the members it contained. So if getting that magic back on stage means it needs to be pushed back a few months, I would MUCH prefer that over a rushed and incomplete reunion with members not feeling well or happy with the content they are presenting. If anything, that could hurt the overall image of the comeback if they just pushed out something as quickly as possible. My only worry is that of course since so many members are already in groups and have schedules, pushing it back could put their ability to participate in jeopardy. Whatever they do, I just sincerely hope it can work out for all involved.
