From (G)I-DLE to i-dle, K-pop icons enter a new era
One of K-pop's hottest girl groups is entering a new chapter. Formerly known as (G)I-DLE, the group has officially dropped the brackets and the 'G', rebranding themselves simply as i-dle across all social media platforms. The change reflects a move towards a more fluid and liberated identity, one that isn't bound by gender or conventional labels. To celebrate their 7th anniversary, i-dle has also announced the release of not one, but two mini-albums. The first, Special Mini Album, is dropping today (2 May), while their eighth official mini album is set to follow on 19 May. Fans were also treated to a teaser video featuring the track for (G), which appears to remix elements of their iconic debut single LATATA. Their upcoming May return also marks the first time all i-dle members have promoted together since signing new contracts with Cube Entertainment at the end of last year. In the meantime, they've each been exploring solo paths, with Minnie launching her debut solo album HER in January, and Yuqi followed with the digital single in March.

(G)I-dle rebrands in light of 7th anniversary, sparking mixed emotions from fans, Entertainment News
There's no need to fret on whether the G in (G)I-dle is silent anymore — because there's no more G in it anymore. In light of their seventh anniversary today (May 2) and contract renewal with Cube Entertainment, the girl group has officially gone through with their rebranding as i-dle. Interestingly, their new name aligns with what the group members initially wanted during their debut in 2018. The girl group comprises of five members Soyeon, Miyeon, Minnie, Yuqi and Shuhua. They are the ones behind hit songs such as Queencard and Pop/stars. Originally, the G in (G)I-dle stood for girl. In past interviews, leader Soyeon mentioned that the G was silent to symbolise that the group members were more than just girls in a girl group; instead, they are artistes first. Fans took notice of the rebrand yesterday, when i-dle took to social media and began removing the G from all their social media handles. The name change has ignited mixed feelings in many fans. Some feel (G)I-dle was a more memorable name. "(G)I-dle is more recognisable for a brand and memorable. Not sure why a brand would do this," said a fan on Reddit. Another fan on X showed support for (G)I-dle's rebrand and returning to their roots, clapping back at a disapproving comment. They said, "Their name was literally supposed to be i-dle and now they've rebranded by going back to their roots." On another end, fans speculate that the rebrand seems to reference the departure of former member Soojin. With i-dle's new logo featuring a five-point asterisk, it is missing one point and fans are under the impression that one point is an "empty space for Soojin". In March 2022, Cube Entertainment terminated its contract with Soojin following bullying allegations by former classmates against the artiste made in 2021. Later in September, the accusations were found to be false and she was discovered to have been a victim of bullying. In October 2023, Soojin made her solo debut, and her debut EP Agassy was released in November. In view of Soojin and the rest of i-dle, fans are emotional about the potential meaning behind the rebrand's inclusion of the former member. Many hope for a reunion someday. I-dle announced their upcoming album, for(G), with a special mini album releasing today, and their eighth mini album coming on May 19.
