i-dle

(G)I-DLE is a South Korean girl group formed by CUBE Entertainment and debuted on May 2, 2018. The group's unique name, pronounced as "idle," includes the "G" in brackets to signify "girl" and "I-DLE" as a nod to individuality. Initially consisting of six members—Miyeon, Minnie, Soojin, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua—the group faced changes when Soojin departed in 2021. Despite the lineup alteration, (G)I-DLE has continued to make strides in the K-pop scene with their distinctive self-composed music and fierce performances, solidifying their reputation for creative control and involvement in the production and songwriting process, particularly by member Soyeon.

(G)I-DLE has garnered international acclaim for their dynamic musical style, which encompasses a variety of genres from electropop to hip-hop. They have released several notable works such as their debut extended play (EP) "I Am" with the hit single "LATATA," and follow-up releases like "I Made" and "I Trust," both of which have contributed to their growing fame. Their discography expands with recent releases like "I NEVER DIE," which includes the provocatively themed "TOMBOY," demonstrating their edgy and empowering concept, while "HWAA" captures a more ethereal and traditional aesthetic. With remixes by major players like Steve Aoki, R3HAB, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, (G)I-DLE's influence spreads across borders, highlighting their versatility and global appeal in the ever-evolving landscape of K-pop.
