B1A4's Jinyoung is producing one more song for IOI. Previously, the 25-year old singer-songwriter also produced the group's mini album.

On Jan. 10, a source from YMC Entertainment, the group's agency, revealed, "It's true that we've received a song from B1A4's Jinyoung, and the recording for the guide has been completed. However, even if they do release an album, we have not yet decided whether this track will be the title track," Soompi reported.

Further, the agency confirmed that the 3-day concert from Jan. 20 to 22 will be the group's last official schedule. A rep stated, "Currently, the members of IOI are immersed in practice for the 'Golden Disk' and their concert," as reported by Allkpop.

YMC also stress out that the concert will be the only time for the girls to gather all together. With regards to their management, the agency stated that the individual agency of each members is in charge with the matter.

Although the group is disbanding soon, IOI would still be actively promoting until the end date of their contracts. This includes guest appearances on variety shows Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend," "Yang and Nam Show," and "Knowing Bros."

It is worth noting that Jinyoung composed "In The Same Place," and "When the Cherry Blossom Fades" during the girls' competition on "Produce 101." Consequently, after they debuted, the singer-songwriter wrote another track "Hold Up" for the group.

Formed through the 2016 reality show "Produce 101" on Mnet, the group is composed of eleven members from various entertainment companies. On May 4, 2016, the group debuted with their mini album "Chrysalis" with their title track "Dream Girls."

Meanwhile, it seems that the quartet of KBS drama "Moonlight Drawn By Clouds" are still close with each other. During the show "1 vs. 100," Jinyoung revealed that while he was rehearsing for B1A4's comeback, actors Park Bo Gum, Kim Yoo Jung, and Kwak Dong Yeon sneaked into the rehearsal room along with nutritious tonics to show some support.

Jinyoung played as a charismatic and poised scholar, Kim Yoon Sung. In the drama, Jinyoung was born to a powerful family, growing up with his former best friend Yeong (Park Bo Gum).
