(G)I-DLE Conquers Global Charts with Comeback

The group (G)I-DLE has proven their status as a powerhouse in the music industry by topping domestic and Chinese music charts with the release of their 9th mini-album, 'We made'. Through a showcase held on the 6th to ignite the summer music scene, (G)I-DLE announced their full-group return after 1 year and 2 months. The title track 'Gimme Dat Love' of this album went beyond simple audio, proving its mass appeal through perfect harmony with the stage performance. In particular, the section where 'LO-O-O-O-VE' is repeated was evaluated as a new attempt connecting the past and present, while the choreography that perfectly matched the music showcased (G)I-DLE's unique color. Soyeon stated, 'Since it's our 9th year since debut, we also get tired of ourselves and want to do something new and fun. We needed change because we want to make music for a long time,' and added, 'The thought that good music must have a good essence came naturally.' Additionally, the stage for the pre-released song 'Crow' received attention for its organic movements featuring members' entrances and exits. Yuqi conveyed her emotion, saying, 'During the world tour, so many fans came that it didn't feel real, and I thought, 'Thanks to them, I became a cool singer.' (G)I-DLE has not only sold out Taipei Dome and Hong Kong Kai Tak Stadium but has also entered the global music festival 'Lollapalooza'. Like Minnie's remark that she will 'tear up the stage,' (G)I-DLE is returning to zero and moving towards the global stage with a loving heart. This comeback is expected to be an important turning point showing that (G)I-DLE has evolved from simple idols into 'artists'.
