Former “Produce 101” contestant and I.B.I member Lee Hae In is finally gearing up for her long-awaited debut!

On July 2, Lee Hae In took to Instagram to announced that she was preparing to make her debut under a new agency. The singer first entered the spotlight in 2016 on the first season of Mnet’s “Produce 101,” after which she briefly promoted as a member of the project group I.B.I and later appeared on Mnet’s “Idol School.”

Lee Hae In posted the following message:

Hello, this is Hae In. I’ve come to share some news with you today!

I’m currently in the final stages of preparation for my debut under The Groove Company and am aiming to debut sometime in the second half of this year!

I’m always grateful to the family members with whom I am making this new start after a long wait.

Finally, I want to tell my fans, who have waited even longer than I have, that I love you more than anyone, and I am more grateful to you than anyone.

I will never forget these feelings of earnest longing, and I will become a Hae In that often looks back at my beginnings, so I’d be grateful if you showed a lot of anticipation [for my debut]!

Immediately afterwards, CLC’s Eunbin—who appeared alongside Lee Hae In on the first season of “Produce 101″—adorably showed her support with an affectionate comment. The idol wrote, “Your biggest fan in the world will be waiting right here,” then added a heart emoji.
