Global K-pop force i-dle (formerly (G)I-DLE) return with [We are], a six-track mini-album that marks the start of a powerful new phase in their artistic evolution. Leading with the bold and rhythm-driven “Good Thing,” the release is their first under the updated name—an intentional move that drops the “G” and parentheses to emphasize creative freedom.
The group—MINNIE, MIYEON, SHUHUA, SOYEON, and YUQI—are renowned for personally crafting their music and visuals. On [We are], they continue their legacy of innovation with lyrics, production, and themes that push boundaries and challenge genre conventions.
With more than 6.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, billions of streams, and a massive following worldwide, i-dle have carved out a unique lane as self-producing idols. Their influence spans continents, cemented by #1 Korean albums and multiple top 10 placements on the Billboard World Albums Chart.
The name i-dle now stands for something expansive and undefined—stripping gendered expectations and embracing limitless possibilities. This rebrand comes after a whirlwind career of achievements, including arena tours, GRAMMY.com praise, and acclaim from Billboard, Teen Vogue, and USA Today.
With [We are], i-dle set the tone for what’s to come in 2025. Their artistry remains uncompromising, their message loud and clear: they define themselves—and the future of K-pop.
