The group made their debut in May 2016. They released an EP titled Chrysalis. Along with the album, they also released the title track Dream Girls.

I.O.I. would release one more EP titled Miss Me? in October 2016. They would also have many hit singles, including Whatta Man (Good Man) (2016), Very Very Very (2016), and Downpour (2017).

After the disbandment of the group in January 2017, Na Young went back to her agency Pledis Entertainment.

Quotes

“I liked dancing in front of a mirror. Naturally, I started to dream about becoming a singer while thinking, ‘I want to be on that stage.’ I would do cover dances with my friends at talent shows.”

“I considered [Produce 101] as the last opportunity of my life. I only thought about making a debut at the time. To be honest, there is no other goal in a trainee’s mind. In order to do other things, they need to debut first.”

“I want to become a celebrity who people are curious about. A celebrity whom people like and have high expectations for.”

““Because I majored in TV and entertainment in college, I learned how to use a camera, write screenplays, and edit video. As I studied, I realized, ‘Just like how I dream of becoming a singer, there are so many people who dream of becoming an actor,’ and those experiences made me develop an interest in acting.”

“I workout hard by receiving PT two to three times a week. I recently started Pilates. It helps not only with dieting but also in growing muscular strength. I try hard for health maintenance.”
